Problems with HP PSC 1210 all-in-one printer on lenny
Hello,
I recently did a fresh install of a lenny distribution on a P4 system
for a family member (I don't have direct access right now). During the
installation I connected a HP PSC 1210 all-in-one printer through USB
and I was able to print with it (CUPS printer installed via Gnome
desktop system-administration-printing).
I could not get the scanner part to work with sane / xsane, which
consistently could not detect the printer. Looking in the debian-user
archives I saw various hints that this printer has been working with
debian for various people in the past, though I am not entirely sure.
Next problem is that when the system is booted with the printer
connected (not switched on, but I suspect it is in a kind of stand-by
mode), the kernel appears to hang, just after the statement that there
are no IPv6 routers (which in itself is correct). Disconnecting the
printer then causes a spontaneous reboot, where there is a question if a
bug-report should be sent to the kernel-developers. The standard lenny
kernel is installed, linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 package, version of July
30 (whatever that was, I can check).
Questions:
Does anyone use the HP PSC 1210 all-in-one printer with a lenny system and
1) also has a kernel hang, or not
2) can scan with it, or not ?
In the bug system I could find a bug about a kernel hang that may be
related (also seems to be a USB issue with the kernel)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=525896.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Eric Meijer
