[SOLVED] xsane crashes with HP LJ 1415

Postby m-fl » Jun 3rd, '12, 14:15

After upgrading vom Mageia 1 to Mageia 2 xsane crashed with the following error in /var/log/messages - even after removing the previous settings by deleting .sane :

Code: Select all
Jun  3 13:44:40 linha kernel: [12869.496443] xsane[9906] general protection ip:7f194a992cd5 sp:7ffff6dd1ed0 error:0 in libhpip.so.


it also didn't show a resolution in the scanning options. Root cause was that the hplip requires a plugin that could not be loaded via the gui (at least as an ordinary user). The following procedure fixed it:

Code: Select all
[root@linha log]# hp-plugin
