hp deskjet 1050 scanning

Asked by hp

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I installed a multifunction printer from HP - Deskjet 1050 J410 - through HPLIP. The printer part works perfectly, but I cannot get the scanner to work and I really hate using windows for anything except games. I hope there is a way to make my scanner work in Ubuntu. Thank you in advance for your time! hp

I don't own this printer, but there is a suggestion here that seems reasonable:

make a new empty file in your home folder, called hp-script.sh

then put this in it

--- CUT BELOW LINE----
#!/bin/bash

LINE=$(grep deskjet_1050_j410_series /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat -n -A 60 | grep "io-mfp-mode=" | cut -d "-" -f 1)
sed -i.bak "$LINE s/io-mfp-mode=.*/io-mfp-mode=1/" /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat
LINE=$(grep deskjet_1050_j410_series /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat -n -A 60 | grep "scan-type=" | cut -d "-" -f 1)
sed -i.bak "$LINE s/scan-type=.*/scan-type=7/" /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat

---- CUT ABOVE LINE ----

then right click the file, select properties, permissions then tick "execute" for user. Place this file in your home folder /home/YOURNAME/

now open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T, or from applications menu), then

sudo ./hp-script.sh

I did that, but unfortunately it didn't help. Even after a restart of the system. Although thank you very much for trying to help!!!

I forgot to add, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit and HPLIP 3.10.9.

Well, I didn't realize that I was using an outdated hplip. After installing HPLIP 3.11.1 everything works perfectly.
