This is for a clean installation of SliTaz GNU/Linux cooking-20100314

1. With the printer plugged in and powered on, run

   su root
   tazpkg recharge
   tazhw setup printer

2. Install only hplip and hal-cups-utils
3. The printer should show up in the list of printers displayed as part of this command. It will then attempt to open the CUPS admin pages in Midori (at http://localhost:631 )
4. On my system, the printer does not show up in the browser under 'Find printers' and I get a 'Forbidden' error when trying to add a printer via the browser
5. Instead, run

   hp-setup

   and follow the instructions. The test page should print correctly. The printer should also show up in the list of printers in applications (like the text editor) and will also appear in the list of printers on the CUPS browser pages, although in my case it is still not possible to make any changes to it

Power on the scanner before installing the following packages:

• xsane
• sane-backends
• libusb
• libusb-compat
• usbtools
• usbutils

for PKG in xsane sane-backends-libusb libusb-compat usbtools usbutils; do tazpkg get-install $PKG; done;

With those packages installed, use the Hardware Detection Tool (Menu > System Tools > Hardware Detection And Drivers) Click on Scanner button

If your scanner does not show up immediately, enter for none in my set-up; now the scanner device should be listed in purple text, e.g.:

/dev/bus/usb/004/002

Your scanner must be in scanner group with 666 permissions

 crw-rw-rw-    1 root     scanner  189, 385 Jun 22 19:44 /dev/bus/usb/0 

Reply y to start scanner Warning pops up about running scanner as root Click continue at your own risk button Agree to license

Xsane should open and be working!

The tux user is automatically added to scanner group, so tux may scan, but if you run under another user name that user can't scan until you add them to scanner group. Do this with the command (as root):

addgroup //username// scanner
