Scanning with HP4180

For my grandparents I bought an HP4180 all in one. Since I can't install the software on the CD that came with it, how do I get the scanning to work?

Unless you enable the "developer edition" and add software, you can't. See
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=77&p=1948
for a similar topic from last year.
HPLIP is installed on the Zonbu - but scanning is explicitly disabled. I did some tests after updating HPLIP and was able to scan OK with the USB interface. Let me know if you want some instructions on how to do this.

Thanks, at least now I know.

Not a big deal. I don't expect my grandparents would scan much anyway.

I'm not using the developer edition for them. I want Zonbu to do the work!

Appreciate the reply.

Maniac, how did you do it? I have an HP Photosmart C4480. It prints fine, but cant scan to PC. jpw
