Unable to scan with hp scan-jet 200. When I type lsusb command in terminal it shows the scanner details.

I opened the simple scan which displays no scanners found, and x sane image scanners also displays the same error.

    not yet its not a printer its a scanner – SUMESHRAJ Jul 22 '13 at 14:55
  • alright, you should go to system settings, printing, and add your scanner to it. hopefully on configuration, it should start working. – Projjol Jul 24 '13 at 05:05

  • any solution to this? – themhz Oct 31 '13 at 09:56
  • Well still add the scanner as a printer? – Tim Jul 30 '14 at 11:25
  • According to this site, there are generally no drivers for scanner-only HP devices on linux: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html – Andreas Jan 15 '15 at 09:39
  • A similar issue has been reported here. – usmanayubsh Jan 22 '16 at 19:42
  • I don't have one, but you could try if it is compatible with one of the other scanjet models that are supported (genesys driver!), and maybe you only need to force using the other driver. Can you try sane-find-scanner -v -v and edit your question with the output here, please? – Has QUIT--Anony-Mousse Jul 29 '16 at 08:18
  • More precisely, I suspect the device to be a genesys GL84_ chip; and other devices with this chip series apparently are supported. If you look at the end of https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/sane/sane-backends.git/tree/backend/genesys_devices.c all you may need is to do a similar mapping of USB id to a few model settings. I'd try with the hpn6310_model as initial guess (HP ScanJet N6310). But try at your own risk, maybe as the genesys developers for instructions. – Has QUIT--Anony-Mousse Jul 29 '16 at 08:32
  • dmesg finds the model and serial number; but, scanimage -L says the scanner is not supported. – Mircea Dec 09 '19 at 07:55

There are no drivers available for the ScanJet 200, be it open or proprietary.

The only way to use your scanner would be to install windows in a virtualbox and scan from there.
