Simple Scan and Xsane did not work to scan an advertisement I wanted to send to my daughter-in-law.
I ran hp-check and got six pages of output in a log file. The log file showed 14 errors and 1 warning.

The version of hpcups I was using was 3.16.3. From the website http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/ I downloaded hplip-3.16.7. There is a shell file,
hplip-3.16.7.run, which I made sure was executable by clicking on properties, and checking the box under permissions. I then executed the file with
Code: Select all
sh hplip-3.16.7.run
After going though the setup for hplip-3.16.7, I was able to use Simple Scan to scan the ad I wanted to send.
I hope this helps you get the scanning function of your printer working with 18.3.
