Scanning with version 3.12.6 results in End Of File error messages

Hi,

Please can you provide us the terminal output of "hp-scan -g" command. Also provide us the output of "hp-check -t" command.
We will look into the issue and get to you back.

Regards,
Goutam Kodu

I can confirm I have the same problem with a Photosmart C309a, which worked flawlessly under 3.12.4, but now fails with 3.12.6 giving the following error:

Failed to open device `hpaio:/usb/Photosmart_C309a_series?serial=<redacted>': End of file reached.

As requested, the outputs of those two commands are attached (hp-check -t as file hp-check.log and hp-scan -g below).

[rob@hydrogen ~]$ hp-scan -g

Thank you for providing us the log file. We are looking into the issue. We will get to you back soon on this.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Goutam

I can also add that downgrading to version 3.12.4 solves the problem.

Can you please clearly specify what is your problem? Is the problem happening only in duplex mode? If so, please do the following changes..

- Goto the folder where you have extracted hplip-3.12.6. Go inside /scan/sane and open bb_ledm.c file
- Goto line#805, and replace the line

if(strstr(buf, ADF_EMPTY)) return 0;

with the following..

  if(strstr(buf, ADF_EMPTY))
  {

     if (ps->currentInputSource ==IS_ADF_DUPLEX && ps->page_id % 2 == 1)
        return 1;
     else
        return 0;
  }

- Now goto /hplip-3.12.6 folder and do 'make' and 'sudo make install'. Hope this would solve your problem.

This also affects simplex/flatbed scanning, at least on my system. I have a Photosmart C310 that works fine with 3.12.4 but refuses to scan with 3.12.6. The device is connected via USB.

I have not attempted scanning using the ADF, but have been using the flatbed part of the device. In 3.12.4 the device automatically detected which scanning method was being used and therefore used the appropriate source (ie. if the ADF reported it was empty, use the flatbed).

In 3.12.6 the "End of File" error occurs before the scanner makes any attempt at scanning (at least as far as I can tell from watching the device). The ADF makes no noise, and the flatbed scanner makes no attempt to move. Later this evening I'll try recompiling 3.12.6 with your changes, and try scanning both with the ADF and with the flatbed.

The same thing is happening to me with the HP Officejet Pro L7680, as to getting an end of file error, as mentioned in post #7 and #1. With the 3.12.6 driver I do not even get far enough to scan any document much less using duplex.

I did as instructed above in post #5 and there is no difference in response. I still get the end of file code 5 error and the scanner does nothing. The error is thrown immediately and nothing in the scanner even moves. I detail my results here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1027021

I suppose that this end of file error is along the lines of the bug I reported in the above link in this post, although the duplexing part mentioned above does not apply. The change in code outlined in #5 above made no change in the outcome. I need my scanner and will have to downgrade to 3.12.4 until this issue is fixed.

If you wish to combine bugs in my link above with this one, it should be alright as they do appear to be related.

I had the same problem with my HP OfficeJet Pro L7590. Downgrading to 3.12.4 worked. I documented my steps for building the 3.12.4 debs here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/153746/xsane-failed-to-open-device-hpaio-net-photosmart-c5100-serieszc-hp5180-err/178838#178838

I had the same problem with my HP Photosmart C310. Downgrading worked.

I am also continuing to have this problem with my L7590. Any chance the fix is going to make it into 12.10 RC?

This will be fixed in 3.12.10 verion, the release is happening soon.

I built hplip 3.12.11 and still have the same problem.

hp-scan -g gives.

I can confirm #13 above - I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64, device is a HP Photosmart Premium c309a. I also get the EOF (code=5) error.

That is, the problem still exists on 3.12.11 ...

3.12.11-1 (debian experimental) fixes the problem for me
