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

 

Christopher M. Penalver, problem update, a day later:

(a) I was able to get back to the boot capability to boot into my
trusted old FC3 installation. I had to do a "sudo update-grub" from the
new installation (13.10). The only way I could do it by Ctr-Alt-F1
switching into terminal. The gui desktop was useless. Apparently the
aborted installation changed but not finished MBR. Grub now looks at the
new installation. When I did the sudo grub-update from the 13.04 boot it
did recognize the FC3 installation, but it looks like grub from MBR now
reads the cfg from the 13.10 installation. Anyway, I'm glad that at
least I'm back to square one.

(b) Also, from 13.10 terminal mode I did a "uname -a", see attached.
This is to tell what kernel was installed.

Let me know how to proceed, and thanks.

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
