We both have access to the same manual. :)

You're right. But I'm just not following most of what you're having me do. Sorry..

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

(cupsd running)

You seem to be able to scan with Bonjour enabled. If necessary, I'll
quote you on this.

Please do. I'm definitely having trouble keeping track. Either I didn't understand what I wrote, or possibly I should re-test, correct and clarify.


Shows that editing models.dat is incorrect.

So how does having to delete "HP_" come into the picture?


Now I really don't know what's not clear.
When did this become a matter of "correct" or "incorrect"?
Is there a bug here or am I entirely just wasting your time?
Should scanners be automatically detected, or is all this trouble part of the plan? I'm trying my very best to report on a problem and I'm not trying to opine on what is "correct" or how it should be fixed. It's way beyond me.

The last message in this entire bug that I actually understand is the first one, in which I opened this bug. I have re-read it now and I find it error-free. It seems clear and to the point.
