Kooka, Scanning, Help

[DarkStarAeon]

Ok, I typed those in, and it worked, I was treated to an almost matrix like flow of code moving at mach 10 in the root konsole. lol

But, I opened Kooka after and still can't get it to do anything.

Should I reboot?

You can try...if I remember hplip starts a daemon...on my way, out the door to work so if rebooting doesn't bring any goodness

ps aux | grep hp

and show a daemon running then further mending may be needed

Ok, reboot didn't help.

But, since I was using a different driver as a substitute to make my printer work before, I went and checked after fetching ports, source and doing the hplip install and now the right driver shows up for my printer, so I changed it.

Here is the result of what you told me to do:

pcbsd-3683# ps aux | grep hp
root        1759  0.0  0.0  1544   996  p1  S+    7:21AM   0:00.00 grep hp

I have no idea what that means

Cool, have a good one at work.

I work from home, so I'm already there. lol

p.s. working from home is not cool.

haha, wow, Google likes this board.

I was curious if there was another scanning software I could load that might get me better results:

Type this into Google:

pcbsd scanner software

that's quick listing!!!

Basically, the ps command will show you what's running in processes. It only returned your search so the daemon isn't running. You might try this

/usr/local/share/hplip/hplip.sh start

from the command line. That should start it and then you can search again to see if it's running. If so, then try kooka again. (hmmm I just tried it and it failed...I think it's running on my other computer but I can't get to it till I get home)

yeah it failed for me too.

doh!
