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                     ... 4:28PM up 2 days, 9:19, 7 users, load averages: 0.09, 0.09, 0.08       --- Msged/BSD 6.1.2        * Origin: Things I already know (2:240/12)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 30/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 114/709 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 452 550 616 700 1016 1017 240/12 1120 1634       SEEN-BY: 240/1895 5832 8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 282/464 1038 292/854 301/0 1 101 113 812 303/0 313/41       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200 371/0 382/147 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 920/1 2432/390 2452/250 5058/104       PATH: 240/12 1120 301/1 229/426           |
