hp-uiscan: No device connected

[Xinux26]

Hey!

First of all, I'd like to thank all the developers for making this such awesome OS, and, for the first time, I think I can say that my distro hopping is cured. By also shipping the distro with hplip pre-installed, they saved me lots of time (I've never been able to install in Ubuntu).
I've configured my printer and everything went fine. But when I open hp-uiscan it says "No device connected".
Anyone can help me?

BTW, HP Device Manager has no icon, as you can see.

Thanks in advice

Printer: HP DeskJet 3639

[rexmalcolm]

I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 and if I start hp-uiscan I get the same error. But scanning via xsane is no problem. So perhaps try scanning with xsane.

[Xinux26]

Thank you very much.
I'll try it

Before HP Manager GUI can be used you must first install the device using the *Printer Settings app (system-config-printer) and you must use the HP driver.

error: missing python3-pyqt4 to do HP printer installation

I have not read the entire thread in detail - but you have - for sure complicated your setup. When on your private network - any firewall application should be disabled Firewall is required on public or insecure network - and your private network is not insecure. qt4 is deprecated from upstream Arch and therefore anything related to qt4 is going to be a pain. As a general experience with networked printers - they all have a web interface http://x.y.z.n/ Manjaro has a printer meta package manj…

error: missing python3-pyqt4 to do HP printer installation

I never use the HPlip so the installation I showed you - was my wife's printer connected to a wireless AP in the opposite end of the house. My system is connected using cable. So the steps above - are verified working steps. Don't click Find Network Printer because that will initiate a workgroup/domain search. Cancel the dialog - only click the → right left to Network Printer

And if your printer is visible on the network the printer name and I…

It's installed. HP Device Manager works perfectly, hp-uiscan is the one with problems.

Skanlite is the scanner application to install & use for KDE Plasma, and will be listed under Graphics. It acquires and works perfectly with my shared HP Envy 5542 Multifunction Printer/Scanner/etc.

[Xinux26]

Thanks. I already used Skanlite

[Xinux26]

Anyone knows if I can install NAPS2 here? I use it on Windows and I simply love it.

[c00ter]

Then use it. HP-uiscan has never worked for me in any Arch-based KDE installation. Dunno about other systems or DEs.

[linux-aarhus]

Have you tried accessing the scan functionality by using the printer's builtin web service?

Use any web browser and access the printer's IP like this (the last slash is important - otherwise the browser will open a searchpage)

http://x.y.z.ip/

Extra note:

I am annoyingly curious - so when a member asks a question - I have to verify it this or that can or cannot do.

Lying on my back - a place comfortable - with a laptop which - until this moment - didn't have any printing or scanning support.

1. Installed printer support - including HPlip because we have a cheap HP Envy 4520.
2. started cups
3. Setup the printer using the HPlip library and hp uiscan doesn't work for me either
4. installed simple scan
5. Opened simple scan gui (it scanns for devices) and found the hp
6. Still lying on my back - I could run a scan - it was blank of course - the printer is in the other end of the house but it worked.

[pinonat]

If you're still interested to use the hp tools, you can give hp-scan from terminal. It does what hp-uiscan is supposed to do but without gui feedback.
