If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). As root, the command gives no answer at all. There is no file dll.conf in kubuntu. There is only a dll.conf.dpkg-dist. I always have written it in (hpaio), restarted hplip, but it doesn't work. Al
