FC8 HP LaserJet M1005 MFP installation -step-by-step-

[pmad]

1. PRINTER INSTALLATION
go to the page http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/
and install driver as described.
(You should do this because driver included in Fedora 8 distribution do not work)


2. SCANNER INSTALLATION
(there is probably many ways to do this (maybe easier) I describe this procedure because it work for me

first install all needed packages if not installed

#  yum install sane-backends sane-backends-libs sane-backends-devel sane-frontends libsane-hpaio usbutils

now you should have all SANE packages installed but you scanner will not work because it is not included in supported hardware in this SANE release
you can check this (remember connect you HP LaserJet M1005 MFP and turn it on)
write command

#    sane-find-scanner

it should produce the long message including line: “found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x3b17) at libusb:001:002”
next you should write command

#   scanimage -L

and you should get message starting with : No scanners were identified ....

It means you scanner is properly connected and wisible in system but not recognized by this release of SANE

So – go with modification your SANE installation

in you home directory create temporary directory for sane backends source eg. sane_cvs
open console window and go to this directory

#   cd sane_cvs

copy last sane backends source tree from SANE CVS repository

#   cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/sane login

when asked for password just hit enter

#   cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/sane co sane-backends

when something goes wrong check firewall settings
if everything is ok, you should have subdirectory sane-backends in you sane_cvs directory

#  cd  sane-backends
#  su

write root password and compile with commands

#   ./configure
#   make
#   make install

now you should do manual modifications of your files

as root change names of listed directories (old_name ----> new_name)
(I do this by running konqueror from console as root)
/etc/sane.d ----> /etc/sane.d_old
/usr/lib/sane ----> /usr/lib/sane_old

as root do symbolic links (I do this by running konqueror from console as root – just drag folders from one konqueror window to another and select "Link here"):
/usr/local/etc/sane.d ---> /etc/sane.d
/usr/local/lib/sane ---> /usr/lib/sane

now time to do last thing go with konqueror (as root) and look at directory
/usr/local/bin
select all files connected with SANE (about 4 files eg. sane-find-scanner, sane-config)
(sane-config is most important file in this case)

open new konqueror window (as root) and go to directory /usr/bin
create symbolic links by overwrite original files in /usr/bin directory (of course you can rename or backup original files)
Anyway, in directory /usr/bin you should have not original sane connected files (eg. sane-find-scanner, sane-config) but only links to sane connected files from /usr/local/bin directory.

now – some checks
check if the file hpljm1005.so exists in directory /usr/lib/sane
check if the file hpljm1005.conf exists in directory /usr/local/etc/sane.d
if not - create it.

check if the file hpljm1005.conf in directory /usr/local/etc/sane.d includes following text

# HPLJM1005
usb 0x03f0 0x3b17
device auto

if no – paste it there.

now run command:

#  scanimage -L

you scanner should be listed now
Now you can use it - eg. you can run GIMP and select "acquire image from scanner"
