Failed to open device `hpaio:/usb/Officejet_6100_Series?serial=MY36OF751N2R`: Error during device I/O.

I am having the same issue with my HP Officejet 6210 all-in-one multifunction printer. It can print, fax, and the HP device manager gets installed. The XSane image and scanning program displayed error message "Failed to open device `hpaio:/usb/Officejet_6200_Series?serial=CN497BE3HH0453`: Error during device I/O." The last time xsane worked was in 8.04. It did not work in 8.10 and now in 9.04. I updated HPLIP to 3.9.6b as well. When I hook this up to a Windows Vista computer, it scans fine.

The scan command in the HP Device Manager is "/usr/bic/xsane -V %SANE_URI%". Xsane 0.996. From syslog

Same error message here with a LaserJet 1120n on karmic, connected through LAN:

hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_M1120n_MFP?ip=192.168.1.200

Printing works fine.

same problem with hp cm1017 in karmic:
infestator@infestation:~$ scanimage -v -d hpaio:/usb/HP_Color_LaserJet_CM1017?serial=00CNDY73NGFT
scanimage: open of device hpaio:/usb/HP_Color_LaserJet_CM1017?serial=00CNDY73NGFT failed: Error during device I/O

this is hplip/hpaio problem, not xsane

I'm having the same problem with HP LaserJet M1522n.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.04

I was searching for a solution for the same problem with officejet 6110 under ubuntu 9.10 that keeps the scanner blocked for some time.
It happens during the warming up time of the scanner, after 28 seconds the display says something like : scanning canceled.(translated)
When i press any button it says 'busy conversating' (translated). After about 10 minutes I press the copy button and suddenly the adf just feeds the page.
I don't have the problem if I perform a manual scan first and instantaniously prepare my computer so the scan commands meets a scanner that has been warmed up already.
It may be a conversation protocol time out.
Hope I find the appropriate location to announce that problem

i had the same problem for karmic and the hp1120n, i found a solution in this bug

if you look at the user.log you'll see a libfile missing:

xsane: scan/sane/marvell.c 66: unable to load restricted library: libhpmud.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

fix:
sudo /bin/ln -s /usr/lib/libhpmud.so.0 /usr/lib/libhpmud.so

fixes that
scanning works perfect now

@Xtroce: thanks!
sudo /bin/ln -s /usr/lib/libhpmud.so.0 /usr/lib/libhpmud.so
worked for me in Ubuntu 10.4

Thanks!

sudo /bin/ln -s /usr/lib/libhpmud.so.0 /usr/lib/libhpmud.so
Worked for me too in Kubuntu 10.4

Thanks. It worked in Ubuntu 10.04 - HP laserjet m1120n mfp - hplip 3.10.2-2

Still not working in 10.10 with a HP Color Laserjet CM1017. The fix works though. Thanks!!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Having the same problem with CM2320 and the fix doesn't work :-/

Same problem with HP OfficeJet 6500 all-in-one on Ubuntu 11.04. Printer works fine. Fix didn't work with xsane or simple-scan. Message continues to read "Failed to open devce 'hpaio:/usb/Officejet_6500_E709n....."

Any more ideas anyone?

After fix, I still get the same message. Output from syslog after launching xsane and simple-scan follows:

Same problem with Deskjet 3050. The printer works but I can't get the scanner going.
