The scanner portion of the All-In-One machines is not handled by cups.
FWIW, that is why I said "printer" in that when he runs hp-tool box it shows
that no
printers are defined.
So, I'm attempting to get that rectified first.
If the OP runs hp-setup, selects 'Network' then
'Advanced' and 'Manual Discovery' and
enters the IP address of the printer, it will be discovered, and the URI will be shown,
something like:
Model Host Name Device URI
HP Laserjet 3055 192.168.1.12 hp:/net/HP_Laserjet_3055?ip=192.168.1.12
Write down the URI. You can continue to set up the printer and fax as you wish. Your
system now knows where the scanner 'is' and hp-scan should work without
specifying the
--device=<name> parameter.
Well, no need (as far as I've ever experienced) to write down the URI.
The HP 4620 is an "All in One" device and running the hp-setup will set up both
the
Printer and the Fax.
After that, I have found, all I need do is either run xsane from hp-tool or manually and
it will pickup the URI. That is, no need whatsoever to use a script. I don't know,
and
haven't researched, how xsane finds the URI.
I've never used the hp-scan command. I'm quite happy with the GUI of xsane and
the
ability to select either the flatbed or document feeder as well as the various output
options.
