Fedora Hardware :: HP Photosmart C4400 Series Refuses To Print Photo On 10x15cm Paper?
Feb 22, 2011
I got trouble to print a photo of 10x15 cm to HP Photopaper (which was delivered with the printer itself). I printed from the UI and set the size according to the papersize (both 10x15cm) and just hit print in "High Quality". The paper gets drawn in, but then the tiny LCD screen on the printer tells me - Wrong paper size, please insert a larger paper, I have to hit the Ok/Cancel button on the Printer but the effect is the same, the printer spits the empty photo paper in front of me.Does anyone have a tipp where to look at?
I finally got around to setting up my HP Photosmart c4580 AIO printer today to print wirelessly so that I don't have to be tethered to it with a USB. I found there are many different ways of doing this, each with limited success. So I took a crack at it and this is how I got it to work. (Just an FYI, I don't think that it matters but I am running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit.) Note: I have put in screen shots of the important steps. Also, I have linked at the bottom all the relevant shots. In a terminal type
Code: hpsetup
After pushing enter a GUI will pop open call "HP Device Manager - Setup". There are four radio buttons, I selected the "Wireless/802.11 (requires a temporary USB connection and is only available for select devices)" one and then clicked Next.
Clicking Next opens a new window for Wifi Configuration. Read what it says (Which is; after configuration setup will continue, this configuration may not work, and connect your printer to your computer by a USB cable!) Now click "Next". Assuming you haven't forgotten to plug your printer into your computer (and turn it on) you will get a "Discovered Wireless Capable Devices" list with something on it. If you do not have anything listed under "Model" and "Device URI" check all your connections and the power to your printer and click refresh. If still nothing I am sorry but this setup has failed you, but if you are lucky and something shows up, click on it and then click next. You have to have wireless internet to continue. The step you are on now has you select your wireless internet connection. Find your's and click next.
Now in the next screen you have to enter in your password for your wireless internet, then push connect. Once you connect you have now just given me access to your online banking and I am withdrawing money as you read this! I'm probably just kidding! I just wanted to make sure I haven't lost you yet. But you do want to enter your password and push enter.
After you push connect you should get a little 'progress' screen. After that is done loading you will see a screen that looks like, Now on a piece of paper or something else, write down your hostname and your IP address. After you have done that unplug the USB from your computer and click finish. Now what happens next, I could not explain. But you remember earlier the wizard said that setup would continue after configuration? Yeah well it didn't for me. And here is what it looked like.
Notice no printers available to select, and even in the terminal it shows an error. Either way, we have the information that we need to finish things up outside of this 'hpsetup' wizard. So just click cancel, close the terminal, and go back to the desktop. Now on your desktop go to System>Administration>Printing That will open a window that shows your current printer profiles. Click the add button to get a screen that looks like this,
Click the plus sign + next to "Network Printer" then click on "Find Network Printer". Now on the right half of that window there is a text box labeled "host:", enter the IP address that you copied down earlier and click the button that says "Find". Once clicking "Find" , one of two things will happen; (1)It will recognize it right away, locate the driver and take you to this screen, after clicking "forward".
or (2) It will take you to a screen showing the host name and the port number. If that happens, no big deal, just click "forward" to get the above screen. Or (3) It will not recognize the IP address that you entered. If this is the case, type in the host name you copied down earlier and click find, then click "forward" to get to the above screen. Or (4) It will not be able to locate a suitable driver. If this last scenario plays out for you then I am sorry but I don't know what to do. So lets just hope that doesn't happen. Alright now that you are on the above screen. Type in a name that you would like your computer to call your printer.
Then click "Apply". Once you click "Apply" that window will close and it will take you back to your printer list. You should notice a new printer in your lineup. Also, it is asking you if you would like to print a test page. Before you pick one, double check that your USB cable is no longer plugged in to your computer from the printer. Now, clicked "No" or "Yes". I chose "No" because test printing takes up a lot of ink. Instead of the test page I just went to my gmail and printed an e-mail. And guess what?! It worked!
I swore I wouldn't do it again, but I did it anyway and installed 'current,' but I'm using Xfce not KDE. Everything was working very well, until I tried to print this morning. From Okular it would load the paper then stop and not print. From OpenOffice it would load and print, but the output was garbage.
Finally, I moved copies of what needed to be printed to the Xp partition, booted to Xp, and documents printed out just fine. As noted I'm running Slackware64 'current' with the latest versions of Cups and Hplip. The printer is a HP 940c. Hplip reports everything is fine, as does CUPS when running it in a browser (localhost:631).
I have a brand new HP Photosmart. I am using digiKam and try to make it print photos from the photo paper tray. But it only uses the normal tray. If I select the photo paper tray before printing manually from the try icon tool I get a message the paper was not ok "Papier unzulssig".additional info: I cannot make it print under gimp at all. I use Suse 11.2 64bit and hplip 3.9.8
I'm trying to set up a customer who has two printers attached to their computer one is some sort of okidata color laser printer, which seems to work fine the other one is a brother HL-4040CDN, which prints fine from a Linux based application such as open office.
When i try to print from a program in wine, however, I can't for the life of me get it to print properly to legal sized paper, it doesn't complain about paper size or anything, it simply crops the print size to that of letter sized paper even though I tell it the paper size is Legal.
I have tried setting the default paper size on the printer's firmware settings, I have tried setting the paper size in cups both through the printer preferences applet and the web interface, i have tried telling the program to print to legal paper and the only thing i can affect is which end of the paper it prints to, i have even tried different drivers for CUPS, i'm not sure if the problem is wine, the program, the printer, or how wine talks to the specific printer via cups (the other printer prints fine) i am using ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10.
I'm interested to buy an usb print server for my HP C4480. Before spend money I prefer to be sure to choose the right device. My printer is HP Photosmart C4480 an it works perfectly with Opensuse (my version is 11.3).
I've seen on ebay a very cheap one, but it seems just mac/windows and compatibile. I need your advices and your experience to know which device could be suitable for my situation. I don't want to spend too much money, not interested in brands but just in something that works.
I'm trying to set up this printer with my Ubuntu OS (Lucid), but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm trying to install the driver for the printer but I keep getting:
Code: eiven@eiven-laptop:~/Desktop/pipslite-1.4.0$ ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk
I have a problem with the latest Fedora. Installed it cleanly on a machine with Gigabyte H55M-S2 with Intel Core i3. There seems to be no sound and I checked to see if anything is muted but is not. The manual says that the sound chip is ALC888B so this could be the first problem. Any ide how I can make it work? Here is a dump of some things on my system.

Lexmark Z730 Series printer. I know it's an old model but I'd like it to work with my Ubuntu 9.04. Is there a way , technically, of configuring it manually, using a set of commands...some guerilla tactics method...to get it to print. I've searched high and low for the Ubuntu version of its drivers, but in vain.
I just recently learned about the wonderful little lpr command- and using man -t (bash command) to beautifully print man pages for reference- but is there a way to print both sides of the paper using a printer so equipped?
i use linux OS with ubuntu and i have installed my printer (epson stylus photo tx650) but when i print it prints black pages on and on and doesn't stop,though if i print using my windows xp laptop and using the same USB cable, it prints,hence this shows me that some settings on printer configuration are not well set and i fail to know which are these settings. its only printing i cant do but i can scan and even photocopy.
I bought a HP Photosmart C6380 Printer a few days ago, and i am trying to make it work on my Laptop with Fedora 11 installed on it. Like all the ither posts concerning this problem, when i connect the printer by USB it works without a problem. I can ping the printer with success and i can also access the Web interface of the Printer. So i think that the Printer is connected correctly to my WIFI network. I have tried several things.
- I have tried to install it with CUPS, selected "HP JetDirect", put in the IP-Adress of the Printer, selected the driver for 6300 series. In the URI i had something like "socket://<IP-Adress of the printer>:9100". After that tried to print a test page -> Nothing.
- I tried it with IPP, same result, nothing.
- I also tried, after having read a lot here, to put "http://<IP-Adress of the printer>". After that, i tried to print a test page, and the printer seemed to work. But what i got was a lot of crap, really unreadable things.

Here i got unreadable things
- I also tried the CUPS web interface without any result.
- I also tried HPLIP. Downloaded the latest version and installed it. After installation i ran "hp-setup". I tried all the three steps, the only one that worked was step one, USB. For the rest nothing worked. I did not try the printer connected by Ethernet, but i think that this should work, because i tried an HP printer at work an that worked. I have an WIFI access point, so no ad-hoc connection. On my wife's Laptop, where Windows Vista is installed, the printer works without any problem.
Printing works fine. I've printed documents ant photos - all is ok.Build-in card-reader works well.But I can't scan with him in fedora.I've installed libsane-hpaio .
I was looking in the net but I cant find ... I need a software to grab photos and videos from my photografic machine (photos .jpeg and videos .avi) and some folders... I've try f-spot and picassa none of them could import videos. Try to digikam but it freezes maybe because I have gnome version of Fedora 12.
I'm looking for some simple to use photo editing software for KDE. I don't really need the GIMP. I just want to do some simple auto-enhancement, rotating, and resizing. Pretty simple stuff. I'm trying to install Shotwell right now. I've used it on Gnome installs, (Ubuntu refugee), but I was wondering if there is a similar native KDE application.
For some reason while Cheese will take photos with my webcam there's no photo stream and it doesn't save photos to my /home/jonquil/Pictures/Webcam directory. Does anyone know of a way to fix this, or is there another application I can use to take photos?
Please help me save my marriage.I talked my wife into using linux awhile back with no problems, but now she has gotten into scrapbooking and wants a easy to use program to add boarders (lots to choose from, I have tried fotowell) and of course general editing. She tried Gimp but it is more than what she is looking for.
How to find out the series (i series or z series)in redhat enterprise linux If I give uname -a it gives Linux hostname 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 17:03:35 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Does this mean that my server is in i series as it says i386..?
I have problem with my printer HP Deskjet D1460. My printer is configured and works. When I send a file on the print, the printer clings a sheet of paper and starts to print, but a paper as was clean so clean and remains, after printing.
after upgrading to with preupgrade to F13 when trying to login via ssh from a windows machine using putty the following SElinux error message occurs: SELinux refuses /usr/sbin sshd "entrypoint" access on /bin/bash ( this is retranslated from german so maybe no fully exact).
I have upgraded from fedora 12 to 13 and I noticed that gnome preview for OpenOffice documents, pdf files and photos is not working. For photos, after I open them with eog then preview is working.
I have been through a lot of posts and was still unable to connect to the internet using wvdial utility after doing all the changes. I being a newbie to this operating system, didn't know how to get started. After going through a lot of posts, I came across an application that is going to be a part of Fedora 12 called ' blueman '. It is used to connect to the internet using a gprs enabled phone via bluetooth. It integrates itself with Network Manager making it even more easier to use. To install it type the following commands in the terminal:
su
Type in your password and hit enter. Then type
yum install blueman
The application is only 575kb and will install instantly.And after a reboot fedora will show an applet related to that application. Open it and click search to list all available devices and select your phone and then select bond to pair your phone with your computer ( if it isn't already). After bonding right click your phone and select serial ports>dial up service. this will make the gprs/edge/3G connection to appear in network manager and selecting it will connect your computer to the internet.
This was the bluetooth way. If you want to connect through USB, just plug in your phone and select PC Suite mode in your phone. The fedora installation will automatically detect your phone as a modem and the connection will appear in the network manager.
This works on all N series Nokia phones and also most other phones as well.
I see there are lots of messages about fedora 12 freezing.Actually I have such a problem with fedora 11 since I updated to kernel 2.6.30. My laptop, all of a sudden, freezes. Everything is freezed: mouse is not working, keyboard not responding (hitting caps lock produces nothing), can't switch to terminals, ctrl+alt+canc don't work. I can just push the power button to shutdown the system. BUT the hard disk activity is still going on. I can see and hear the sleeping daemons that cause some usual disk activity while the rest of the system is completely freezed.My system is a HP DV5-1025el with an AMD Turion ZM-80, Ati Radeon HD3450, 4Gb of RAM and 250gb HDD.I got fedora 11 regularly updated, now has kernel 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11, but it is used to happen also with older 2.6.30 kernels, NEVER happened with 2.6.29 kernels. Video driver isn't the cause, since it happens with both proprietary fglrx and OSS radeon drivers.
I'm using F11, KDE, and Dolphin (primarily) as the file viewer. Is there any quick and easy way to be viewing a giant folder of images in the file viewer and then just highlight a few that you want to resize to 800x600 (or whatever)? Currently I have to pull them into GIMP and then resize each one. Alternatively, I can pretty easily do a command line to resize the whole folder, but I don't really need every image resized. I'm mainly going through and thinking "oh, be fun to send this one to so and so" but I don't want to send them the eitire 18Megapixel image. A nice quick resize to 50Kb and 800x600 or something would be perfect but this just hasn't appeared for me yet.
I recently bought an HP mini 1030NR and wanted to get fedora on it. I found this and it pretty much guided me right through the process. I thought it might be helpful for others.[URL]..
