[wellylug] xsane failure scanning on HP Officejet 6500A

[Kingsley G. Morse Jr.]

Hi Jeff,

I spent some time searching Google's indices for
clues.

A similar thread is at

    https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/165845

and

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/789366

Maybe you could read them for ideas.

If that works, fine.

If not, I think you might find more clues by
searching with creative keywords like

    xsane  "6500A" timeout

I hope that helps,
Kingsley
