HP 5520 Printer/Copier/Scanner

[Degsy]

At last got round to replacing my old Lexmark X3480 Printer, having read the advice on here about HP decided to go for the 5520, I am delighted to say that this printer works straight out of the box, it is now my network wifi Printer and is happily servicing my home made desktop running 12.10, my laptop with Windows XP and both my wife and my own iPad 2.
I am really pleased with this, thought it might be worth mentioning.

I purchased an HP 5520 (US version) as well. Running PCLinuxOS with CUPS. Printer is working well, but I am unable to scan from the scanner to a file in Linux. Windows7 driver is working. Suggestions happily considered.

How is the printer/scanner attached USB/WiFi ?

If you open a terminal, what's the output from these 4 commands:

Code: [Select]

scanimage -L
sudo scanimage -L
sane-find-scanner
sudo sane-find-scanner

Have you installed hplip-gui ?

Which version of hplip do you have installed ?

Which application are you attempting to scan from ?
