There are solutions such as recompiling the kernel without the offending problems that are cause by the laptop code, but I don't want to start screwing around compiling kernels.

I'm planning to move my print server and file/web server to Ubuntu to get off Fedora Core. I hope the HPLIP package keeps the scanner working when I move the file/web server. (The web server is a local server running php, MySQL, etc. so I can test my pages before publishing to the web.)

Oh yes, it appears this bug was put into this version because of Laptop users and a problem of batteries discharging too fast. The fix for the laptops disabled the scanners on desktop PCs. Hi Tuxi,

Hopefully, the Ubuntu team will get the driver issue fixed soon. I still say bummer about the scanner. Hopefully, the Ubuntu team will get the driver issue fixed soon.
