Can't get HP scanjet 4850 to work

Download and install the latest HPLIP from the HPLIP website, You will need to mark the file you download as executable and launch it from a terminal.

What filename is your backup made of?

Hi

HPLIP doesn't support the Scanjet
Also what about my Lexmark printer

The back up was to an HP media drive

Do you have a story that started on Hotmail? Tell us now

My HP scanjet 4850 won't work
My Lexmark Z1420 printer won't work
And the zip files on my back up won't open

Someone suggested going to HPLIP and downloading a program, but it doesn't support the scanjet so I am no further forward

I gave clear instructions on how to run a terminal, as well as the command to run in the terminal.

You can also press ALT+F2, type:

gnome-terminal

and press enter

You can then type the command:

lsusb

and copy the output and paste it here (in caps the command is LSUSB)

If you use KDE then the command is:

konsole

but the rest is identical.
