[Bug 1184165] Re: 03f0:1205 Scanner does not work: Simple scan gives a device busy error

 

Christopher M. Penalver, OK, we are getting somewhere.

Before I do anything, please humor me, and allow me to understand what
exactly I'm supposed to do. Let's go step by step.

(One) - should I download the ISO image from link
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and create a virgin
installation? I can do that, I have plenty of hard disk place. Please,
confirm this step ONE. After that we can go to my understanding of the
next step.

I'm more than happy to participate in this work. I do have the time and
interest.

Janos

Title:
  03f0:1205 Scanner does not work: Simple scan gives a device busy error

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is a virgin installation of 13.04.

  Scanner is not found - reported by Simple scan. I tried Ask Ubuntu,
  but got no answer.

  I have a parallel installation of 12.xx on the same computer, and
  scanner does work. So what is specific about 13.04?

  I have also an old FC-3 installation and the scanner works, using sane
  with xinetd. I notice that 13.04 does not use xinetd. So how is the
  scanner accessed? Whatever it is, it works on 12.xx and does not on
  13.04.

  In terminal mode:

  sane-find-scanner
     found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x1205 [hp scanjet scanner]) at libusb:002:002
