Paul, this may or may not help, but I think this site is really good as far
as setting up a USB scanner with xsane. It is a Gentoo site, but I think
most of it is applicable to Fedora as well. I can't help but think this
problem is solvable with some simple thing. Good luck!

Terry:

Thanks for the link. I will check it out. I managed to get my F16 box current and I can't get the admin->printer to see the printer. This is using what worked on F14 -- only installed system-config-print cups hpijs.

I suspect its because of the hook-up (F16 hardwired to Linksys wrt54gl hardwired to Linksys wap54 wireless to Linksys wrt54gl whereas the F14 box is hardwired into the final wrt54gl where the printer is wirelessly beign seen as a DHCP).

I've got to pound on some parts of my system to make sure its really as I think (plus some selinux / clamav / totem tests). Let me get that done, take a look at your suggestion and get back to you.

Really appreciate your taking the time to give me some ideas.

Terry:

I am at least back to ground zero. Problem was that the subnetwork that the F16 machine was on made an assumption about "non-wireless" access that I had to correct. I've got it and another F14 machine on it seeing the printer and happily printing.

I am also seeing problems with the printer having made itself a DHCP into my network and I am going to correct that tomorrow by forcing it into a static ip and locking all machines to that. The assignments/findings are flakey under DHCP when some other computer might grab the address the printer had earlier.

Then I'll deal with you document and the "I can't scan issue". That being said, such is not a showstopper for me as it works clean on XP and I've got cygwin on that machine happily yakking with all the Linux boxes.

Progress!
Thanks,
Paul
