I did not test scanner for brother printers. I will come back and contribute to the discussion. Good luck.

hi there is a slackbuild for the package:packagekit the glib2 link is inside the package:/tmp/autoconf-archive-2019.01.06-noarch-1ponce.tgz,/tmp/packagekit-1.1.12-x86_64-1ponce.tgz,and from slackware extra:bash-completion,but i don't know if this is for the compile runtime...

[Ed_P]

Blaze, your 001-core is 0803, my Cinnamon one is 0807.

[Blaze]

Ed_P, it does not matter, coz:

Code: Select all

# ls /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/*packagekit*
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/libpackagekit-glib-1.2.0-alt1.x86_64

[Ed_P]

Ok, but this does.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ ls /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/*packagekit*
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/libpackagekit-glib-1.2.0-alt1.i586

guest@porteus:~$ simple-scan
simple-scan: error while loading shared libraries: libpackagekit-glib2.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
guest@porteus:~$ 

Wrong libpackagekit file in Cinnamon x86_64 iso?

[Blaze]

1) In AF mode is the same?
2) Do you use i586?
3) Did you try 07-printing-x86_64-2020-09-15.xzm?

[Ed_P]

No, I use x86_64. Porteus-CINNAMON-v5.0rc2-x86_64-20200920.iso
And it's not in the iso's 001-core file.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ ls /home/guest/Downloads/001-core/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/*packagekit*
/bin/ls: cannot access '/home/guest/Downloads/001-core/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/*packagekit*': No such file or directory

I have not tried AF mode or the print module you suggested. I use 07-printing-x86_64-2020-08-10.xzm. I will try both suggestions and get back to you later. I've gotta watch my Buffalo Bills game.

Thank you for your help.

Your new print module solves the problem.

So simple-scan works now, no more missing packagekit file but the app isn't scanning the page on my HP printer's glass it is scanning my image via my notebook's webcam!! How do I get it to use the HP printer's scanner??

Added in 11 minutes 4 seconds:

None of the options I tried worked. All returned "Failed to scan Unable to connect to scanner" windows when I clicked on the Scan button.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ simple-scan http://localhost:631/printers/HP-Officejet-Pro-8600
guest@porteus:~$ simple-scan 192.168.200.190

Ed_P, well, you are right with

Code: Select all

# lsxzm 07-printing-x86_64-2020-08-10.xzm | grep packagekit
/usr/lib/libpackagekit-glib2.so.18
/usr/lib/libpackagekit-glib2.so.18.1.3
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/libpackagekit-glib-1.2.0-alt1.i586

this is my mistake.

CANON Canoscan LIDE300 [2995c010] works for me fine.

[Ed_P]

I like your scan image.

Did simple-scan find your scanner automatically or did you use an argument with it or Manage Printer or ...

Menu>Graphics>Simple Scan works with my printer's scanner in 4.0.

In terminal mode also.
