device `hpaio:/usb/OfficeJet_4650_series?serial=TH7B64F03Z0662' is a
Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet_4650_series all-in-one
$
The wonky problem is that every so often, randomly every 2nd, 3rd, 4th
or 5th page, the scanner stops part way through the page and takes up
to 5 minutes to can a page. Most of the scans go through in a few
seconds. This happens regardless of the scan resolution (I usually use
300dpi but occasionally 150dpi for high contrast text-only docs) and
regardless of the complexity of the scanned page - with or without
graphics, with or without fine print or any combination thereof.
I tried installing hplip 3.22.6 and got this for the command line
install (GUI also fails same way, just not as volubly):
$ hp-setup -ia
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.22.6)
Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0

I have reported this on UbuntuOne as suggested by the web page Peter
linked to on another conversation in this thread, so I hope to get
something from them.
I was also hoping this helps Brian and anyone else familiar with hplip
and HP all-in-ones in general, the OfficeJet 4654 in particular.
Thanks to all.
Mark
