You need to be more specific. How have you tried to use your scanner? Whaich program did you use, and what steps did you follow? Were there any error messages?

I assume you use Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper).
For printing and scanning to work you need to setup you HP LaserJet 1100A with the hplip backend as described here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpPrinterInstallationAndMaintenanceDapper
For scanning to work you need to add yourself to the scanner group with following command:
$ sudo adduser <yourusername> scanner
Please let me know if this worked.

Can you help with this problem?
