OpenSUSE Hardware :: Hplip Hosed Yet Again After Recent Updates?
Jul 6, 2009
If anyone else is having problems with their HP Photosmart (c4580) multifunction after the latest updates, here's what I did to get mine working once again -
1. Uninstalled hplip (ALL versions including standard AND packman), this also automatically uninstalls hplip-hpcups (which seems to be the cause of the problems) and automatically re-instates hplip-hpijs instead.
2. Remove all installed printers in Yast and also check on http://localhost:631 to make sure they are all removed.
3. If you have (as I did) lots of annoying test pages spooled and waiting to be printed, reboot now to (hopefully) get rid of them.
4. Disable your firewall (through yast) and add allowed service - cups. You might want to restart it, but to save time/frustrations/headaches/smashing your computer and printer out of frustration I would leave it disabled until you have successfully achieved a test page printout!
5. Download hplip-3.9.6b.run from here - HP Linux Imaging and Printing and follow the install instructions. It should eventually bring up the GUI interface where you can detect your printer.
5a. If it doesn't find your printer in the scan, then you are most likely going to have problems. Make sure your firewall is disabled/allowed and that the printer is actually reachable (ie by ping or the web interface). If still not reachable, then you need to find out your printer's IP address and enter that in a browser and get it's hostname.....

I have been running my Canon Pixma MP460 for years on suse linux. Worked fine also after upgrade to suse 11.4. I was running MP460 using MP160 drivers as per some forum information when 460 drivers were not available. Some recent updates, however, have killed operation of my printer. Will not even print a test page. I have tried my old MP160 driver and variations of same and new MP460 drivers from CUPS-Gutenprint.
Consistent error message is: "The PPD version (134566257) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.7."
I downgraded and upgraded CUPS. I have deleted and reinstalled many printer drivers for MP160 and MP460. I have run the "cups-genppdupdate.5.2" per the error log message and other cups update programs in the same directory. Keep getting same message. Printer works when I reboot to windows 7 so hardware has not failed.
System is: Suse 11.4 32 bit w/usb mp460 printer.
Hate to bid farewell to my old faithful printer.

Anyone else notice that the recent updates have trashed Swiftfox? Here's the error message: Quote: MozPlugger: Error: Too many types (32) for handler 22 (application/vnd.sun.xml.writer:sxw:OpenOffice Writer 6.0 documents)
Opera, Seamonkey and Firefox all work fine and if I open Firefox and then open Swiftfox, it's working just fine, so apparently FF handles the OpenOffice, etc., issues for it. It still fails if you have opened Seamonkey or Opera first.

After not having used Ubuntu for a few months now, I want to make up a new LiveCD and possibly a bootable USB. The times I have done this in the past, the installations don't include recent updates which need to be downloaded and installed once the system is running. (Understandably)
Two questions:
1) Does Ubuntu update the downloadable ISO periodically to include recent updates?
...for example: Now that it is January (ie. some 3 months after release of Karmic in October '09 and some 200-300Meg+ of updates required since that time), will I be downloading an ISO from Ubuntu that has recent updates already as part of it, or will it still require updates to be downloaded and installed once Ubuntu is running on the computer?
2) If the downloadable ISO has not been updated since Oct '09, is there a way of making a LiveCD/bootable USB that has up-to-date updates already installed? (if you know what I mean?) ....and is this process relatively simple?

I'm running ubuntu 10.04 (via wubi-installer) on a lenovo g560. I was quite comfortable on ubuntu and thought about switching from win7. I was proud, because i fixed a problem (almost) myself. My speakers and headphones were playing sound simultaniously, so i followed this solutionsNow i lost my faith: Since yesterday, my sound is totally gone. I assume, this problem appeared because of some recent "updates" i blindly accepted. Now, i have no idea where to start...aplay -l: "no soundcard found..."lspci -v: i seem to have two soundcards:

I am running sid. A few days ago I ran an update which killed 3D. I followed this thread to get 3D support back. However I failed to hold those packages so I suspect a subsequent upgrade undid all that work. Now what is happening is that I do not have X starting at all. These are the relevant nvidia, mesa and xserver files installed

I was quite pleased to see that Ubuntu 11.04 now loads and reads the contents of my iPhone 3GS.
(Once I connect the phone to my netbook, Shotwell and Banshee would recognize the cell-phone and give me options to manage my data.Alas, that joy has been very short-lived. As of the most recent updates, something appears to have 'broken' this functionality. [TODAY's DATE: Monday, 30 May, 2011],
Now when I connect the phone Nautilus fails to mount it, and I consistently get the same error message:
"DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error. NoReply:Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)"

where I can find a list of Fedora 9 kernel updates (i.e. the updates that come through yum update) along with the dates they were released? I'd like to know when the last kernel I have installed (2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64) was publicly released.

I did a yum update to install quite a few updates to my Centos 5.3 x86_64 system. Updates included kernel and xen which required a reboot. It must be a month or so since I last updated. The updates seemed to go fine - but when the machine restarts it goes through the bios screens which seem to detect all the hard drives etc - but then the word "Grub" appears at the bottom of the bios screen - and the system hangs. It doesn't appear to respond to keyboard input. The system is using linux raid in case that is relevant.
I am able to boot a centos5.2 live CD and look at the Logical volumes - and all appears in order to my untrained eye. I have also mounted the /dev/mdo as /tmp/bootx (boot volume) and had a quick look at /tmp/bootx/grub/grub.conf and /tmp/bootx/grub/device.map and again - I can't spot any obvious problem. I note that before the updates - my default boot was "1" and now it is "0" though this appears reasonable because the xen and non-xen images seem to be listed in the opposite order to earlier updates. I have set it to boot non-xen by default - and this has always worked in the past.
I realise that the recent updates may be a coincidence - and whatever is wrong may have occurred earlier. I cannot think of anything I have done which could have broken grub though. I can probably restore my boot volume to the state it was before the updates. I should have a backup from this morning - as luck would have it. Is this a safe thing to do - or do I need to restore both boot and root to keep them consistent. I would prefer not to restore the root system unless I have to - as this would cause some data loss. However I need advice as to whether yum and other things will get confused if the boot volume is restored in isolation.

I have a machine with a fresh install of fc14. When I first created the machine about 3 weeks ago I could attache my iPhone 3GS and FC14 (gnome) would detect it and I could use shotwell and rhythmbox fine. Ya!
Now as of about 1.5 weeks ago, when I plug in my phone I get a pop up with : Unable to mount Brian's iPhone DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) dmesg doesn't show any errors, just that an iPhone was attached. Is this just me or are others seeing this? Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Is it possible to update a Live USB so that way when you use it to install to another computer it will install with the most recent updates? I want to install Lucid to my sister's computer, but it doesn't have internet so once its installed it's never getting updated again.

Compiz seems to have had a bug where, upon using Compiz as the window manager, the mouse cursor would refuse to properly change after selecting a new theme. The workaround (altering the index.theme in/usr/share/icons/default) used to be a way around the issue... that is, until the latest Nautilus updates. Now even that won't let the cursor change, and I'm stuck with the issue of a Bluecurve cursor inside applications, but the default dmz-aa cursor on the desktop. Has anyone else found a way around this bug?

There have been no updates recently (for almost two months) on any of my CentOS 5.5 boxes when I run 'yum check-update'. I may be misunderstanding the repo setup, but looking at the file mod dates, it seems that there hasn't been an update since 2011-01-06:[URL]...Meanwhile, a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor has had multiple security and bug fixes since then:[URl]...Is CentOS 5.5 still getting updated, or am I missing something (quite possible).

I've set up hplip and added a "fax" device. However, when I go into open office and try to fax something, it says it's doing it, then pops up a window saying "step 3 of 5" asking me to add files to the fax (there are no others to add) and only the "cancel" button is clickable. Then in HP Device Manager, it shows the fax as having a job but it never does anything.

I have following setup on my one of the customer where we had suplly thin client. Customer have their old system with SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.2 with HP LaserJet P1008. They had configure this printer thru foo2xqx & HPLIP 2.8.10. Our Thin Client which we had supplied with SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11.1 & HPLIP 3.10.2.
I am able to install HP printer on my thinclient but thru IPP but, when we fire any print command I am getting "Stopped: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed" error. If I can connect printer on thinclient I am able to print. But, thru IPP share I am not able to print. Also, customer have their old thinclient also on which they share this printer so, I am not able to detach this printer from that system.

Everytime I get HPLip working with my printer, it will only work until I shutdown the computer. On next restart, it no longer works and the only way to get it to work again is to delete the printer configs in hplip and re-create them!

I recently bought the HP Officejet 8500 all-in-one. I was at that moment using OpneSUSE 11.1 on a HP Pavilion laptop. As this printer was too recent for the version of hplip in the 11.1 repositories, I downloaded the source, compiled and installed it. Last week I upgraded to 11.3, and now the repositories have an even more recent version than what I installed. But in Yast the hplip package is marked as 'never install'. Why is this and how do I remove this blocking? How can I install a hplip package compatible with 11.3?

I got cartridge is low warning and after a couple of days refilled the the black cartridge (#56) for my HP officejet all-in-one printer. The low warning is still there and when I try to print, it does not even try/use the black cartridge. I believe it is tracking the serial number of the cartridge (showing in the status of hplip manager). I know the cartridge has ink, because I am able to scan/copy on the all-in-one and it does use the black. I have tried to clean, align, and test using the hplip tools, but it has not worked. Any ideas on how to erase the memory or have it retest the cartridge for ink ?

I have an HP OfficeJet 6500 wireless all in one.I've tried using the HPLIP that comes in the distro, uninstalling that and installing the scripted installer from the site, and manually installing the RPM.Yast isn't detecting my printer, whether I try a USB install or over the network.I have all the dependencies, CUPS is up to date, and this printer is detected by Fedora and Kubuntu.

after an update to 11.2 (from 11.1), 64 bit, I don't get the printer to work. I reinstalled the driver and checked in cups: it says that the printer is available and waiting for a job. When I send something to the printer, nothing happens. The priont job will be stopped immediately. The printer is properly connected: xsane finds the scanner, that is part of the printer, without a problem. The printer is also ok: I can copy documents, it just works fine.
