We have one old MFP among these that requires the additional hplip       binary plugin to allow scanning over network (which is a very nice feature we       rely on heavily). This plugin didn't install properly, but that's probably       more HP's fault (hp-setup needs to install it). Actually, I have never been       able to get it installed without any manual interaction on any system I tried       (be it FreeBSD, Gentoo, Sabayon, MX or whatever). On the bright side, the       "usual" tricks worked here, too, so I could just use the commandline to get       everything going. Now I have both xsane and HP's simple scanner tool using the       MFP scanner over the network.                     Regards,       Gerrit              ... 11:09AM up 2 days, 4 hrs, 7 users, load averages: 0.27, 0.13, 0.09              --- Msged/BSD 6.1.2        * Origin: And the pastiche we've invented (2:240/12)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 114/709 120/340 123/131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 242 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 452 550 616 700 1016 1017 240/12 77 420 1120       SEEN-BY: 240/1634 1895 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 303/0 310/31 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 331/313 333/808 335/206 364 370 342/200 371/0 382/147 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/81 120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2432/390 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119 4500/1 5020/545 5058/104       PATH: 240/12 1120 335/364 221/6 1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
