printer installed, now scanner ?

[Gottfried <gottfried@posteo.de>]

Hi,
thanks very much for Your detailed description. Beside me many newcomers 
to guix will be thankful as well.

Now after hours my printer is working. Wonderful
Everything worked as You proposed.

The hp device manager still does n´t work, when I klick on it. On it I 
would be able to choose scanning also.

Next step:
How can I install a scanner, because my printer can also scan.
I installed a scanning program: "simple scan" "xsane" "gimp"  in hoping 
to be able to scan. But it doesn't.

in http://localhost:631 there is no possibility to add a scanning 
programm to my printer.

What can I do?
