After reboot, simple-scan and xsane both start a graphic dialogue saying “searching for devices” and then throw coredump.
Did not do that before.

I am in lp group. There is no scanner group. I was wondering if there should be now. Even though I never had one before when scan was working.
Some more diagnostic info from simple-scan.

I started digging in the python code that is run by hp-plugin
\_ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/hp-plugin -i -p .
\_ sh /home/user/.hplip/hplip-3.26.4-plugin.run --keep --nox11 -- -i /usr/bin/python3
\_ /bin/bash ./hplip-plugin-install -v 3.26.4 -c 64 -i /usr/bin/python3
\_ /usr/bin/python3 ./plugin_install.py -v 3.26.4 -c 64 -i
But running hp-plugin -i -p . as user again and not pressed Enter where is hung and after asking for the root password and giving that the installation is done. Problem solved for my LaserJet P1102w.
So are you able to scan using xsane, simple-scan or other app?
Mine says the plugin run has completed and installed. If try to plugin run again, dialogue says it is installed and asks if you want to re-install it. But I still get segfaults on all scan apps.
I went to Yast-scanner and clicked on a driver for my scanners and it said “hpaio” not running and couldn’t connect driver. I am looking into that. I don’t know what hpaio is.

No, I only have a printer, no scanner.
sane find did find my usb scanner. see below: Not sure how to proceed from this to next diagnostic step.

I don’t want to blow up my printing which is much more important to me than scanning so I am going to let this be. I think the problem is on HP to fix since their own software can’t even download the file from their own website and also since it doesn’t recognize TW OS and tries to use leap 15.5.
So I will let this be but keep looking for a solution.
tom kosvic
@tckosvic So did you follow the link and remove/reinstall the packages?
What are you talking about, Leap 15.5?
Are you not using openSUSE TW hplip packages?

I uninstalled and reinstalled using myrlyn a few days ago at the beginning of this.
Why are you still using Leap 15.5? In any case this should have been discussed as a dedicated topic.
@tckosvic Do you not understand that the run file is not designed to be run that way, do you even bother to read the instructions provided by various users?
You run, as your user hp-plugin if you want to use the run file, see my earlier instructions on how to extract and run.
And can you confirm your on Tumbleweed, not Leap 15.5.
Yes, I know how to run it properly. I wanted to show those results though.
This is weird. I upgraded to tumbleweed using migtation tool a month ago.
Neofetch says tumbleweed. Screenfetch says openSUSE 20260529. Are there multiple entries that describe the OS.?
I need to look at screenfetch code and neofetch code to see where they get the OS description parameter.
The hp run code must be reading from where the screenfectch code gets it’s OS parameter.

After going to tumbleweed, I did move from apparmor to selinux. I bet there is some system descriptor in apparmor that is lingering.

@tckosvic there’s no actual difference among Tumbleweed and openSUSE aaaammdd.
You can find the source of that information in /etc/os-release
I thought I needed a summary of where I am after all these messages. In summary, I have zypper system hplip (3.26.4) installed from openSUSE repos.
Thanks to help from all, I have “hplip-3.26.4-plugin.run” installed successfully after manual download. If I run “hp-plugin -i” to install it again, it gives message as to whether I wish to reinstall it. See below:
That still gives core dumps from xsane, simple-scan, and skanlite
I also did the uninstall/reinstall from:
I used the Forum search feature and see https://forums.opensuse.org/t/scanning-do-not-work-segmentation-fault-core-dumped-after-tumbleweed-fresh-install/189350/5
In fact, I did that previously from past experience.
With those steps done, I still get coredump after starting any scan function. Printing works and has been unaffected by these steps based upon a few printouts.
I will continue to monitor HP to see if they come out with some revisions. Other distros (arch for one) are also having problems with 3.36.4. So we’ll see what happens.
thanks to all. tom kosvic
