Use hp-makeuri to create “an url to your scanner”. For example:
hp-makeuri 192.168.2.22
Search the out for a line like:
SANE URI: hpaio:/net/Officejet_4620_series?ip=192.168.2.16
Now start simple-scan (or xsane) with the line above as parameter:
simple-scan hpaio:/net/Officejet_4620_series?ip=192.168.2.16
To change the gnome XTerm background color (and text color) follow the instructions below.
First of all install the gconf-editor tool
sudo apt-get install gconf-editor
Start the gconf-editor tool and go to apps -> gnome-terminal -> profiles -> Default and change the foreground_color to #FFFFFFFFDDDD and the background_color to #000000000000 .
Go to an open XTerm window and open the Edit menu and select Profile Preferences. On the colors tab uncheck “Use colors from system theme”.
That’s all; your XTerm terminals now have a black background with a white text color.
