i recently got a HP F380 All in one. he problem is that i cant use Xsane to scan images in ubuntu edgy though printing works. In fedora core 5, it doesnt even detect the printer. it is connected in the USB (2.0) port. i am quite sure it is something to do with USB.
pls help
thnx

For fedora issue this as root "yum -y install desktop-printing gimp-print gnome-print hpijs libgnomeprint22 libgnomeprint libgnomeprintui22 libgnomeprintui"

Now enable "cupsd" and "hplip" in service section. Now try installing the printer!

For Xsane : I never tried scanner. Will post when I try it!

Just install hplip from either hplip.sf.net or it must be in Ubuntu mirrors already. Then launch hp-toolbox and you will be able to perform all actions supported by your printer from there only.
