Fedora Hardware :: F15: HP LaserJet 5MP Printer Not Connected
Apr 23, 2011
I am running F15 Beta i686 (Gnome3) Desktop on a dual-core, 4 Mb DDR2 system. I already installed hplip and hpijs drivers and connected HP LaserJet 5MP printer to the parallel port of my PC. Set up was by running "system-config-printer", adding device URI=parallel:/dev/lp0, and selecting approriate driver (CUPS+Gutenprint (en) for the printer. However, when I chose to print a test page, nothing came out and the printer window says the printer is not connected. This is even though I can print from Fedora14 installed on the same PC.
My printer had been working in 10.04 for a couple months. It still does work when I boot from a 9.04 live CD, so I know it really is "connected" hardware-wise.
i recently installed fedora 14 xfce and i have a printer laserjet p1007 hp connected. the printer gets detected but there is an error while installation (i.e when i run hp-setup) it gives an error that some binary drivers missing. i refreshed the package list also. but still the driver does not get installed..
i used ubuntu maybe for a year but i dislike unity and i installed gnome 3 via ppa but it wasn't so stable.now i installed fedora on my netbook and really like!Gnome 3 is very stable but i have a problem with my printer.Fedora notices it plugged in my printer HP Laserjet p1005 but it doesn't find any drivers.
I am running Fedora 15 but about 1 week ago my Hp laserjet 1220 all-in-one printer stopped functioning. The OS recognizes the HP printer, but I cannot print any print job whatsoever. I have looked through the faq section and found no resolution for my conflict or problem. I have used Fedora on this system since Fedora 8.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04, 32 bit, yesterday on my Dell Latitude 6500E and I am new to Linux. I can't find my HP LaserJet 3015 on my home network, even though it is connected to a new Windows 7, 64 bit PC thru USB. The other Windows PCs find it fine, and all 4 PCs can see each other on the network. So, I installed the HP software (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...all/index.html) and that went smoothly, but the printer is still invisible. I also added Samba and that works great like everything else. I plugged the printer in directly to my Ubuntu laptop's USB port and it printed instantly. Now, if I could just print to the LaserJet on the network. Anybody got this one figured out? Does Wine provide a way around this?
how to install my hp laserjet 1010 printer on red hat el5.when i connect my printer, a new window pops up detecting a new hardware but my printer's name or the driver is not listed. i have the printer's driver cd which is for windows.
I have a rather ancient HP LaserJet printer that was working fine in fedora 14, but when I upgraded to Fedora 15, I can no longer get this printer to work. The printer's front panel reads "LaserJet 5P", but when I print out a test page, it's a "LaserJet 5MP". The printer is connected to my computer's parallel port, and it's capable of understanding PostScript, and I usually don't have any problems printing to it under various operating systems.
The following error comes and goes under the KDE print manager: "Printer 'LaserJet_5P' may not be connected." CUPS reports the following printer state: "Processing - Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..."
I have double-checked that my printer is indeed powered on and connected. And the following lines appear in the error log: W [29/May/2011:18:03:02 -0700] no access to /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc W [29/May/2011:18:03:02 -0700] no access to /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc W [29/May/2011:18:03:02 -0700] no access to /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Generic CMYK Profile.icc W [29/May/2011:18:03:02 -0700] failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.Failed:profile object path '/org/freedesktop/ColorManager/profiles/LaserJet_5P_Gray__' already exists .....
The first three warnings are regarding file paths that one would expect in an Apple OSX system. The "bad request" error is troublesome, because it indicates that either my browser or some configuration software on my system is sending garbage to CUPS. The last two errors occurred when I tried to use the KDE print configuration tool, which was not smart enough to ask me for the root password, which CUPS needs. By the way, the device URI is "parallel:/dev/lp0". Is this still the correct URI?
I can't make work my HP LaserJet P1006 printer on USB with OpenSUSE.
It's being detected as usb://HP/LaserJet P1006 but there is no specific driver for it. I try to use the generic HP LaserJet driver but didn't work. There is no driver for P1005 model, either.
Someone had the same problem here: Cups Printer Driver Incompatibility Hp Laserjet P1006 Printer
Whenever I send a document to print on my USB Printer, as mentioned in title, it just sits and waits and after a minute or so the hp-toolbox resturns this error.
I've been banging my head for two days now trying to get my HP Laserjet 1020 to work. I've gotten the drivers working on the box itself (Opensuse 11.3 x64), but I couldn't get it to print from my laptop (Ubuntu Lucid). Ideally, I'd like to end up with a functional printer which can be used either from the desktop machine (Opensuse) or from the laptop (Ubuntu) through NFS.
After so many attempts at fixing it, I've not made it such that I can't print at all, from either system. I'm considering re-installing Opensuse (or just going back to Kubuntu, which recognizes the printer without a hitch). But before I do so, I figured I'd ask here.
Here are my issues, and attempts at solution:
1) I tried adding the printer both through CUPS, through YAST and through hp-setup, using the hpijs driver. Each time the printer is recognized, but a test page won't print.
2) I tried building the foo2zjs driver, as outlined here: HowTo Install a HP LaserJet 1020 printer in Suse 10.x, 11.x It came up with dependency problems repeatedly on the last step (sudo make install-hotplug) . I gave up when it told me that it was conflicting with an installed package (system-config-printer-udev) which was not installed.
3) Perhaps related problem: on the CUPS web interface, I get a "forbidden" message when I try to change the options on the CUPS server to allow remote access.
Note that:
a) I've already added myself to the lp group.
b) I changed the permissions (+rx) on the /dev/lp0 to allow myself access
c) I'm able to get to the CUPS page on the client machine, so the port 631 (I think) must be open. I say "I think," because there's no option to allow CUPS in YAST firewall settings, for some reason.
I've been following guides here and there, but I'm afraid that I've borked my cupsd.conf file through all the edits. Here it is:
I am using a Toshiba Satellite with an HP Officejet7410. I installed the printer last night, printed a test page and went to bed smiling. This morning, I try to print and nothing. Fedora see the printer, but keeps saying it is paused or is not connected. The test page printed out the following.
Officejet-7400-series HP Officejet 7400 series franks-lappy HP Officejet 7400 series, hpcups 3.11.5 8.50 x 11 inches 0.12 x 0.12 to 8.38 x 10.88 inches 3 x 3 to 213 x276 millimeters hp-officejet 7400_series, ppd hpcups 3.11.5 This page was produced by CUPS 1.4.6
after my update to 11.4, I am having trouble with my printer.
hplip is installed (3.11.5), but it does not start the printer queue. If I click to start the queue, it seems to start, but no printing jobs are sent to the printer.
opening the hplip gui spits out an error message: device communication error 5012
Linux and I have trying to get my Fedora 15 (x86 64bit) on my laptop to print to an Epson Stylus NX515 printer/scanner. I have the printer connected to a router through a wireless connection. I have other computers that are on the network that are Windows based and they of course are printing/Scanning just fine. The printer is located in a different room. I have been searching for a solution but non that explains how to install a printer driver for one that is connected to a router wirelessly.
I have a Windows print server (Win XP SP2) and a 1 opensuse client. I have setup cups as per the following document:
Printer Sharing: Windows Print Server for Suse/openSUSE Linux Clients [Samba and LPD]
I am not using Samba. The setup went fine, but I am not able to print to it. There are other clients (all Windows) that are printing fine to this print server. The following is what I see in the /var/log/cups/error_log:
[Job 3] recoverable: Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds...
I am using DHCP in this LAN. Ping is working fine (client's hosts file updated with the print server's ip address.). This looks like a networking issue.
I have a canon printer which was working so far. After my latest upgrade its giving errors saying "Printer not connected -- Check your connection" Fortunately I had a backup of my root before the upgrade and one difference I see is that on the new system theres no /dev/usb/lp0 which there is on the old one. So how do I make it? Or should I use the /dev/lp0? Note they are different:
[Code].....
So (naturally) when I tried to make a softlink from /dev/usb/lp0 to /dev/lp0 it did not work.
is it possible to install a netwerk printer, while not connected to the netwerk where the printer is?I installed opensuse on my sisters desktop and I want to install the printer that she and my parents are using at home. Is this possible?De printer is in a windows workgroup and shared. De name of the workgroup is DEROON and the name f the computer the printer is connected to is Nico
I have installed an HP LaserJet 4250 using the hp 4250 postscript driver. The printing works but when I click on File->Print on any application (Open Office or Document Viewer), the message "Getting printer information" is beside the printer name and the print button is disabled. After 5 or so seconds, the print button becomes enabled and I can print. This happens every time but did not when I first installed the printer. I would prefer to determine the cause rather than delete and re-install the printer.
My home/small office LAN has network connected printers. Some use wire. Some are wireless. Each has a unique static, private IP address on my LAN. Each workstation has a primary printer, but all of the printers are visible and used by all family and office folks. The symptoms:boot a workstation, connect to LAN printer,
start a queue print things suspend or shutdown the workstation resume or reboot the workstation various troubles
Even if there are no jobs queued (everything printed already) at the time of suspend, I must routinely "thump" the printer or workstation of both to make printing work again. I am concerned with Ubuntu Jaunty towers and laptops. All of the printers are HP something with a built-in wired or wireless ethernet connection. I'm not concerned with win-dose workstations on the LAN (unless interaction over there is causing other grief)!! For example, a win-dose spooler fails to end a print job properly and let go so that others may use the resource.

Main PC runs Win7 with Epson printer connected (not wireless)...I'm running Win7/Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop getting internet wirelessly. When in Win7 on my laptop I can 'see' the printer that's connected to my main pc and print to it but when I switch to ubuntu I 'see' the main pc on my network but not the printer...
I just installed a Brothers HL2170W printer on my desktop which is running Ubuntu 1004 I had no problem with the install and it is working. The problem is when I send a page to print it takes 5 minutes before it prints. if this is normal or if there is a fix. I have the printer connected with a USB cable.
I need to output a byte to LPT port. For this there's an option to program I/O ports directly (with ioperm & outb), but only if LPT port is a standard PC one (ports 0x378, 0x278, etc.). But i need a 'portable' way of doing this, i.e. which would also work on such interfaces as USB2LPT. I guess these adaptors will also have /dev/lp[0-9]* interface (am i right?). Here's what i get currently:$ echo 1 > /dev/lp0^CI.e. i have to use Ctrl+C because 'echo' never exits. When i had a printer connected to LPT, this did work
a newbe one, but its if my fifth try in using ubuntu for working with Architecture, so... my problem is...I have a plotter (xerox 2230ij) connected in a print server, i tryed to connect in lpt1 port and was sucessful with HP 750 plus driver... so.. yay! but my original intend is to connect in print server and all the computers (windows/ubuntu) use that.But when i connect in PS, i cant see the plotter, but i can acess the PS (Dlink)so.. what i have to do, to make thing working well? and i have virtualbox with windows XP, can XP acess that plotter as well?here a small scheme of my connections...
I want to set up a home / file / torrent / web / print server at home. I am using a dell optiplex gx240 and my printer is a Epson dx8400. I was wondering if it is possible to use the printer and scanner connected to the server. Has anyone done this before? I hope to print from any computer in my house. Scanning would probably be the hardest part I guess.
I've run into issue on my Linux machine (running 10.04) when I want to print. When I go to System>Administration> Printing, I cannot find the printer connected to the network through my dad's computer, running OS X 10.7.
I currently cannot get my printer to work (nothing ever get's printed) even though CUPS seems to be correctly configured and reports all jobs as "completed" without any errors. As I know that my printer works (I can print from my laptop on it) I currenty suspect my new PC's parallel port to maybe have a hardware issue. My question is now is there any way to check the parallel port?
Here are some details: from dmesg: lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). from lsmod: parport 27954 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc
In the BIOS the mode is set to EPP. So as far I can see (I am not really an expert) the kernel-modules are there, /dev/lp0 exists and has the proper permissions. Yet doing 'echo -en " Hello f" >/dev/lp0' does not produce any Putout on my printer that is connected via the parallel port.
