Slackware :: HP PhotoSmart Plus All-in-one Difficulties In 13.37?
Jun 25, 2011
Having looked at the various threads on the forum I have not seen one that seems to answer my issue. About a week ago I tried installing my HP Printer (PhotoSmart Plus) and was unable to due to me not having run rc.cups. I have now done that and the installation of the printer went smoothly, it was detected over the network and the correct ppd was identified (seems it is actually on the firmware of the printer) and I was able to add the printer with the HPLIP (version 3.11.3a).
However right after the printer was added HPLIP tries to get a status report on the printer, this is when I get an error "Device communication error (5012)". I have attached a screenshot of what I see. I also tried scanning from the device and I get similar errors that the device isn't responding etc. The printer is attached to the network via wireless and I am trying to print to it using my laptop also connected to the network via wifi (doubt that has any bearing but just FYI). edit: I have found on an old Ubuntu discussion that one solution a user had for this specific problem was to install SNMP... I didn't add SNMP when I installed Slackware earlier today, could this assist...?
edit 2: CUPS on localhost:631 shows the printer as idle (did attempt to print just to see but no go...

Recently I have installed Fedora 13 both in my home and office computers only replacing the previous Fedora 11. I didn't edited the partition table in either cases. At office computer I only have one hard disk with C: and D: partition in NTFS and the linux partition. In Fedora the C: and D: are shown now as /media/disk and /media/disk-1. How to see these drives as /C and /D? In home computer I have two 500GB hard disks. sda1 is FAT formatted and all of its drives are shown in either platforms nicely. sdb1, the other 500GB HD has two drives (N: and P each of 250GB and both NTFS formatted, is shown as /media/New Volume in Fedora 13, however opening it shows only the content of N: drive. Can't do anything using Disk Utility of Fedora 13.

i'm having an "alzheimer's moment", so i really need a refresher answer:My difficulty is that on one of the user accounts, i've managed to screw up the Task Bar on KDE 4.1 i've tried to adjust using the tools on the task bar without success.This problem has cropped up a time or two before, and i solved it by deleting two configuration files and returning to default settings on the desktop. i have since forgotten both the file names, and their location.

I recently went shopping at newegg for components for a new home server to fulfill multiple needs--chief amongst them to replace an aging old Athlon box which has been running a 4TB software raid for years now So I ordered an ASUS P7P55D-E LX mobo, 8GB DDR2, a core i5 quad-core, and 6 WD "green" 2TB drives (I'm more concerned with capacity than speed). I got it all assembled, using a 500GB 2.5" drive as the boot / host drive, a blu-ray reader, and splitting the 2TB drives amongst the 2 controllers (4 on the remaining ports of the x6 SATA controller and 2 on the x2 SATA-III controller, just not needing the SATA III capabilities). I plan to use Software RAID5 rather than the fakeraid that might be supported by the chipset. This affords maximum portability for the future.
At any rate, I installed 10.10 64-bit (Desktop), let it update, then installed mdadm and set about configuring the RAID5. I decided to use the nifty graphical tool. Last time I did this on my old Fedora box, it was all CLI.All seemed to be going well, and I was letting it fully recover / synchronize before setting up a filesystem (planning on ext4 this time). I kept an eye on it with cat /proc/mdstat.
After 20 hrs (averaging 25MB/sec on the sync...seems a bit slow, but who knows?)...it finishes and the RAID is immediately degraded with one volume (/dev/sdc1) marked as faulty and another volume marked as a spare. I replaced the SATA cables with brand new ones as long ago I ran into an issue like this due to a bad cable. Before trying again I ran the extensive SMART test and a read/write benchmark on each drive. They all checked out fine. So I started over and 20hrs later, same thing.So I shut down and removed the offending drive and started with only 5 drives. Another 19hrs go by and this one turns up /dev/sde1 faulty and another drive marked as a spare. That drive was fine before, and is on a different controller from the one that it was finding as faulty before.
Now I am suspicious that there is a larger underlying issue and that the drives are not bad at all. Should I have just gone with a 32-bit + PAE install? Does the 64-bit have known issues with the software RAID? Should I have just built it using the CLI? Looking online, it seems people are having success with the GUI tool. I don't think it is the GUI tool. Checking with mdadm, it seems everything is being configured right.

I attempted to share my ~/Videos folder using the Folder Sharing dialog when right-clicking a folder in Nautilus. It started to install but failed partially spitting out some error that I didn't bother to read/write down. It asked me to restart which I did. But now when reattempting to share the folder, I get given the following message: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot create tmp file /var/lib/samba/usershares/:tmp0BRWpm
I've looked around for a thread for this particular error, but I can't find anything specific to the "cannot create tmp file" issue. I'm assuming it's some folder permission issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling samba from the Ubuntu Software Center.

My brother bought an Acer Laptop which was configured with Ubuntu Dual boot using Grub with Vista Home Premium. He asked me re remove Ubuntu which I thought I could do by simply using the recovery disk to restore the Laptop to the factory condition. This didn't work and I now find that Vista will not boot at all, although Ubunto does. How to remove Ubuntu and put this back to Vista only? I have never used Ubuntu before so in this field I am a complete novice.

I'm getting something(s) wrong, trying to run commands (both simple and piped) in shells from Perl programs. The ultimate objective is to set up "copy X selection to clipboard" from urxvt but apparently simple debugging statements are not working.Here's the Perl, taken from here and modified to use xclip instead of xsel and with debugging added, shown in green
Code:

I just bought an HP Photosmart Plus B209a Printer. It does everything except actually print. It even says the job is �completed" but nothing was done. I repeated the installation 5 times with same results. Before buying, I tried to find out which printer worked. I was told by HP that all of their printers worked on Ubuntu Linux. Best Buy agreed. Is there a solution that I can understand, or must I give in and go back to dreaded Windows just so I can print? Printing seems to be a real Ubuntu Linux shortfall and major roadblock - at least from this Newbies'point of view. Is Ubuntu a poor choice for printing of the Linux options? I really want my Linux to work instead of being forced to return to The Dark Side.
I did this repeatedly: If your printer was not detected after a few moments, then you will need to follow these steps:
1.Obtain the model name of your printer.
2.Ensure the printer is turned on.
3.Choose System ▸ Administration ▸ Printing
4.Click New Printer.

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.
Quote:
POST / HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 492
Content-Type: application/ipp
[code].....
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.

I'm having some problems with my printer...i just installed suse (today) and tried to install the printer... i looked online and installed hplit, then followed the setup till the program recognizes my printer (he says is 4600, dunno why) and then ask me to associate the PDD file... only thing is that the pdd file is not there....
I runned the hp-check -t and this is the result:
Hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installedto successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
Saving output in log file: hp-check.log
Initializing. Please wait...
SYSTEM INFO:
To check for compile-time only dependencies, re-run hp-check with the -c parameter (ie, hp-check -c).
To check for run-time only dependencies, re-run hp-check with the -r parameter (ie, hp-check -r).

I am trying to install my new HP Photosmart b110 All-in-one printer on my notebook, but it seems to be very hard...I have Opensuse 11.0 x86-64. I tried to install hplip from the web, but neither the 3.10.9 nor the 3.10.6 version works. Automatic installation is a disaster: the driver tries to resolve dependencies, which are impossible to resolve, probably because - I realized - support to opensuse 11.0 was stopped. So I tried with custom installation, avoiding all those features leading to strage dependencies, but also in this case I get an error: "make failed with exit status 2", or something similar...
should I necessarily switch to 11.2 or 11.3 version? in this case, is it possible to upgrade directly from 11.0 to 11.3 without loosing data..?

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'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.

My computer recognizes the printer and has no trouble printing out any documents. The printer can scan papers to a memory card and makes copies just fine too. But when I select "Scan to PC" I get the message "Try scan from computer or see documentation. Press OK." Of course, the printer included next to no documentation, only the basic plug-it-in-and-turn-it-on instructions. Simple Scan said that it did not find a scanner.

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've bought a HP Photosmart printer, HP Photosmart wireless e-All-in-One printer - B110a and i've got a problem installing it properly. I'm using Debian 6.0 Squeeze. When i connect the printer, Debian doesn't recognize my printer as the Photosmart B109 printer for unknown reason. When i go to the site of HP and search for a driver, it directs me to this site:I've downloaded that latest hplip file as a .run file and installed it. My printer is recognized proparly, but when i try to print a colored image, it comes out black/white. Something is not crrect. Does anyone recognize this problem with this type HP printer?
