Today: Configuring a Hewlett Packard psc2410v Photosmart All-In-One in Red Hat Fedora Core 9 Codename Sulphur

The printer was easy to install.  I thought I was having problems getting the scanner working but it just needed a reboot for a non-root user to access  the udev or some such nonsense.  For scanning purposes you also need to install hplip and libsane-hpaio before you reboot.


As non-root user:

  • Plug-in the USB cable while insde GNOME.
    • The device driver is included so the printer should add itself automatically.
  • Click Configure... from the Printer Added pop-up.
  • Single left-click Print Test Page to test.
  • Single left-click on Make Default on the Settings tab if that is what you want.

As root or su:

  • yum install xsane sane-frontends sane-backends hplip libsane-hpaio

I had to reboot before my non-root user could access the scanner through xsane.
