I'm trying to install my scanner "HP ScanJet 2400". I followed the recipe from here: http://www.elcot.in/linuxdrivers_download.php, However, it was not possible at all to detect it, when working in CentOS, Fermi & OSuSE OS.

Doess anyone have any suggestions on how to get this scanner working?

  • After connecting the scanner what does your `dmesg` output look like? – slm Nov 05 '13 at 01:45
  • Also did you launch `xsane` afterwards and attempt to scan with the scanner? – slm Nov 05 '13 at 01:50

  • xsane-> no devices available... –  Nov 05 '13 at 02:06
  • OK so the USB device is seen, it's just getting the drivers working then. – slm Nov 05 '13 at 02:14
  • That's right...libraries /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hp2400.so.* are adequately installed, after "the source" has been transformed by doing cp usr/lib/libsane.so usr/lib/libsane-hp2400.so cp usr/lib/libsane.so.1 usr/lib/libsane-hp2400.so.1 cp usr/lib/libsane.so.1.0.14 usr/lib/libsane-hp2400.so.1.0.14 &/or cp usr/lib/libsane.la /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hp2400 cp usr/lib/libsane.la /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hp2400.1 cp usr/lib/libsane.la /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hp2400.1.0.18 –  Nov 05 '13 at 02:32
  • Are you running `xsane` as root? – slm Nov 05 '13 at 02:33
  • Yes, I'm doing that... such as root & but such as user too. –  Nov 05 '13 at 02:40
  • I'm not sure what is happening to the drivers... –  Nov 05 '13 at 02:46
  • @paritto Please update your question with further information. Don't put it in the comments. – Faheem Mitha Nov 05 '13 at 09:51
  • I don't understand your comment about cp. Why are you copying library files around? Please provide details of all steps you took to get the printer working,and in the question, not the comments, please. – Faheem Mitha Nov 05 '13 at 09:55

My son want to use this scanner under Debian. I searched for support and this question appeared among the first hits so I share my experience here.

Several pages recommend too the link above however SANE supports HP ScanJet 2400 scanner directly through genesys backend. You can check your installation with scanimage -L and scan with scanimage > test.pnm from the command line.

I guess that ScanJet 2400c backend doesn't work with ScanJet 2400. luckily, I downloaded the driver mentioned in elcot.in before. you can download it from there:

by the way I thought adding the following link is better
