    HP scanjet doesn't work

    Hi

    I have a HP 8200 Scanjet, but I can't use it. When I type sudo xsane, appears this message:

    "error opening device 'xsane hp scanjet 8200 avision:libusb:005:006' Operation not supported"

    If I type in console:

    Code:
     sudo sane-find-scanner
    
      # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
      # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
      # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
    
      # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
      # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

    If I type:
    Code:
    scanimage -L
    device `avision:libusb:005:006' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 8200 flatbed scanner
    I checked also hp-setup , but only dettects printer, not the scanner

    I'm using Kubuntu 15.10 64

    Any help?

    Thanks

    "Operation not supported" sound suspiciously like a permission error. Try to open xsane using kdesudo and see if it lets you access the scanner. I'm not suggesting this is the solution, just a test...

      Thanks for the reply, but I have used "sudo xsane", as you can see in the post. It doesn't work

        Oshun is right - running a gui program with sudo in the commandline can have bad consequences. You should not need admin privileges to run a scanner.

        Doing a quick googs on it, there does seem to be plenty of people having trouble with this scanner - which uses an avision chip, and not an hp one
