Hello Bogdan,

I'm on Debian Sid / KDE 4.1. I have a HP PSC 1110 multifunction
printer. I found a way to configure the printing function, but I don't
seem to be able to scan with it. I installed Kooka but it didn't do

First things first, make sure you're a member of the group "scanner",
otherwise you'll not be able to access the scanner.

the trick ( afterwards I noticed that kooka has been removed from KDE
4.1 ). Any suggestions will be appreciated :).

Has it been replaced with something else?  If not, I suggest installing
XSane, and then try.

Hello again,

Brad, your first advice was the exact solution to the problem. My user hadn't been included in the "scanner" group by default. I manually did that and now both Kooka and Xsane do the trick! Thank you!

Robert, thanks for your time! I haven't really used Xsane before, only Kooka, but I'll give it a try now that you indicated it to me.

Best regards,
