Hi,
thank you very much. It was the right command.
scanimage -L
but it didn’t find a scanner:
No scanners were identified
-------------------------------------------------------
with sudo it found my printer/scanner
sudo scanimage -L
Passwort:
device `hpaio:/usb/Officejet_J4500_series?serial=CN92G561F4052T' is a Hewlett-Packard Officejet_J4500_series all-in-one
--------------------------------------------------------
"sudo sane-find-scanner"
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x2a12 [Officejet J4500 series])

it found a usb scanner, but could not fetch string descriptor.
1.
does this message say that proprietary software is the problem?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
2.
Can I read documentation with the terminal, having no documentation on
paper? Which commands I have to use?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kind regards

How would be the command to use libsane directly in the terminal?
I think the command to list the detected scanners is 'scanimage -L'
but my memory isn't perfect. It would be best to consult the
documentation.
Kind regards
