Status Mar. 26: avahi-utils is installed. system-config-printer is the one installed by update-manager and is current. Printer driver is not found. simple-scan does not detect printer/scanner.
Status Mar. 27: After running update-manager this morning, which installed a new version of system-config-printer, everything now works. The printer driver was found and simple-scan found the scanner. The first scan attempt failed, the 2nd attempt was OK. The scanner takes a half-minute (?) to warm-up, so maybe simple-scan timed-out the first time. See console output below. The system-config-printer dialog behaves strangely: It comes up non- responsive and then comes to life in 10-20 seconds (busy scanning for network printers?). Selecting the found printer was at first non- responsive, then the selection got highlighted after clicking somewhere else on the window. Strange. Console outputs: ~ $: system-config-printer Using drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-officejet_6300_series.ppd (status: 0) ~ $: simple-scan ** (simple-scan:6970): WARNING **: Unable to start device: Error during device I/O Till Kamppeter wrote: > kornelix, this is bug #520466 which is already fixed.
