Bug Description

this happens wether I use a repository version or compile the latest from sourceforge.same source from sourceforge works correctly on pc.

using ibook g3 and hp C3100 series all in one printers

It appears that usb connections to the aio can only and always access the printer...
sane-find-scanner works

other distros google to have similiar problem eg big endian machines and hplip scanning.
note aio s are still not listed by sane,,,just hpilp Not a computer engineer....but this seems to be a problem that is a general linux usb problem not just ubuntu/kubuntu

all this works fine now on pc's with late (>.97 ) hplip big endian problem only?

OK I think this can close: I'm not sure what level hplip has reached now in the repositories as I use Dapper only BUT

It appears hplip 1.6.12 has this fixed.....somehow I didn't catch this....it is a bit of work....as the desktop metapackage and ALL printing packages need to be removed but it can now be done.

I now have ALL functions working in both pc and power pc

anyone wishing a copy of my deb for ppc on dapper email me
