Scanner does not work in Arch Linux but works in Ubuntu VM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,

I have a question about my "HP Deskjet F2280" printer/scanner.

I could not get it working in Arch Linux with "sane" or "simple-scan".
It is visible in a "lsusb" command and found by a "sudo sane-find-scanner" as a possible usb
scanner.
But it is not found in a "sudo scanimage -L" command.
And "simple-scanner" or "xsane" cant find the sanner either.

But when I fire up my Ubuntu 22.04 qemu VM and use the sanner through "usb-host-device" the sanner
works out of the box just by installing "simple-scan".

What is the key difference here?
The checkbox "proprietary drivers for devices" is enabled in Ubuntu.
Is the reason the custom kernel, that Ubuntu uses or kernel modules that could be also added to Arch
Linux?

Regards
Björn
