Hi,
running LxPupSc 16.09.1 on an Acer Aspire E15, I have installed hplip3.16.5 and my printer is working but not the scanner;
both xsane and peasyscan give me the webcam.
# scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname HD WebCam virtual device
#sane-find-scanner
gives me ...
found USB scanner (vendor=0x0bda [Generic], product=0x0129 [USB2.0-CRW]) at libusb:002:008
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0xc111 [Deskjet 1510 series]) at libusb:002:010
could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error
I have reinstalled printer and hplip several times, but am now stuck.
Appreciate any help
Thanks
Martin
xsane cannot find scanner
Remove the webcam, reboot with the printer connected and on, then rerun scanimage -L
Is there a difference?

Hmm, tricky waters..
You may have to create a custom file and add your device in order for it to be properly utilized.
In the event it's a permissions issue >> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sa ... on_problem

Hi Semme,
thanks for your ideas.
a) i cannot unplug the webcam, its built in. I did try rebooting with the printer on but this didn't solve the issue
b) custom file, I could not find a reference to HP1510 in the list so i don't know which custom file to use.......
c) permissions haven't tried this yet
d) hp-check gives me an error " no python "
what worries me is that there is no scanner at /dev, xsane surely cannot find a device that isn't there ??
Unfortunately my time ( and Linux knowledge) is limited and I think I am going to try to reinstall puppy on a new stick, as I did have this scanner working with a previous build of LxSc.
Many thanks for your help, will report back next week when I've had a chance to look at this all again.
Cheers
Martin

One more option. Try in terminal:
to uninstall the webcam. Then try xsane again. To load the webcam driver again:
Code: Select all
modprobe -r uvcvideo
Code: Select all
modprobe uvcvideo
Watchdog, thank you for the hint BUT...
xsane gave me just one window <<Failed to open device " ' Invalid argument>>
scanimage -L gave me no connected scanners
sane-find-scanner gave me both scanners as before.
this evening I will try your command and reboot, maybe the machine has to find the scanner at boot time ???

Is your pup 32 bit? Try to install this one:
