Host is at .1, > Photosmart is at .251 I've found that in both RH/CentOS and Fedora, the hplip seems to be broken. Haven't looked into why. It works with printers, but seems to regularly fail with scanners. I know rpmforge also had an rpm--I gave it one try when it was first released, it didn't work with the scanner, so I just went back to using the source tarball from hplip. Insert warnings about don't use something that isn't an rpm and so on. You can look at my http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/hplip.html which goes into installing it from the hplip source. Unfortunately, hplip's site has been offline now for quite awhile, don't know what the story is. However, they have a link to download the source, the only thing that my article is missing is that they said to uninstall hplip and hpijs with rpm -e. They might have said uninstall a few other things too, but you'll find out if you see that you can't install something because of a conflict. > > > I've gone through several sets of guidance found on the Intenet.

I've looked at sane.net man page untill I'm cross-eyed. Missed mine, I guess, or it'd be working. :) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Anya: Men like sports.
