Slackware :: HP Deskjet 990C Printer - Nothing Prints
Mar 14, 2011
I'm running a standard 13.1 32 bit install with an HP deskjet 990C, run off of USB. Until today everything has printed properly. Now nothing prints. Nothing has been installed unless it came through slackpkg, and yes it is still on the correct setting for arch and revision. CUPS shows printer as installed, accepting jobs an idle. No error messages are appearing but nothing is reaching the printer. The info I can glean is from the error logs in CUPS:
I was trying to print my resume and a job application with my printer and it was coming out red (I now know how to fix that) but I decided to install the hp linux printer driver and it picked up my printer installed everything for it (its a hp deskjet f2100 series) and now it wont print ! I've got a troubleshoot.txt file for any technical info if you need it. (I had to compress it but its a 80 kb text file).
I have a parallel port printer connected using usb->parallel adapter. Sometimes the printer prints sometimes it doesn't.
A job will go the print queue and then sit there for ages. Sometimes if I unplug and then replug the usb->parallel cable the printer will print other times it will print half the document then freeze until the cable was unplugged and replugged again.
The printer never shows up in the list using lsusb (only my usb mouse and scanner do).
The printer is an hp deskjet 690c and worked fine under WinXP through a normal parallel cable. The one thing I haven't tested (but will test tomorrow) is the usb->parallel cable in XP.
What is my problem? I have a page (one page - text an graphic) to print. When I sent it to my printer it prints OK. When I sent it agian, the output is totally garbled. When I sent it again (a third time) it is OK. Sent it again (4th time) it is garbled. Sent it again ... you get the picture ;-). Alternating good and bad pages.
What is my setup? I run Fedora 14 with Cups 1.4.6. The printer is a HP Deskjet 940C. It is connected to a linksys wireless print server. It is configured in CUPS to use ipp printing. The driver I use in Cups is 'CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.6 Simplified (color, 2-sided printing)'.
I have Ubuntu version 10.10 and I'm trying to install the HP DeskJet 1000 J110a printer. I have HPLIP version 3.11 (the latest version I believe). The printer shows up but when I try to print the error message reads: Printer requires the 'foomatic-rip-hplip' program but is not currently installed.
When I go to System->Administration->Printing no window pops up. Down on the bottom panel it says "Starting Printing" and then goes away. I'm trying to install my HP Deskjet printer,
I have my Epson C46 working on my Ubuntu 9.10 machine, my XP machines are showing the printer as ready and will send a test page to the Ubuntu printer but it doesn't arrive at Ubuntu - doesn't show in the print job list on Ubuntu but does in XP?? File sharing is now working in both directions.
I have an HP J4680 all in one that, for some reason, does not process the print job immediately when I send it. When I open my printer's properties it will list the printer's state as idle and when I go into the print que it tells me the job is scheduled for . . . (some time) which is, I think, about 5 min later by the clock on the task bar. I've been all over the settings and don't see anything that looks like it applies to that. Usually I've been restarting the printer and computer and then it will print when I send the job. Tonight I waited until the time and it did print according to the scheduled time. I need to find a way to always have it print right when I send the job.
I installed the Printer, but Xsane does not recognize the scanner, how can i acivate the scanner. my system is Debian Lenny 507 Kde i386. I have looked through the posts in the forum, but found nothing that can help me. can somebody point me in the right
After clicking on the print option on ms -word, printer does not respond! In the print dialogue box it shows that ink cartridge empty, but even after refilling it, it shows the same status!
The printing has been running without problem ever since the installation of this box at least >1 year. Today I found it stop working with following warning: Code: Filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups for printer Deskjet-5700 not available
We have an HP F4135 printer which has worked fine for at least 2 years, now, but it has started acting up since installing Ubuntu on our computers.
We had been running Windows XP on the computer to which the printer was connected, but ever since we "upgraded" to Ubuntu the printer has been printing green in place of black whenever using it to print any sort of document from Firefox. This isn't black mixed with green; it's a bright, lime green.
For some reason, it works fine when it's printing something directly from the computer's hard drive, like a document, .pdf file, etc. It's only when printing from Firefox that it starts messing up, whether it be a file opened temporarily from a website or the direct contents of a web page.
We've tried adjusting the printer settings and the only thing that makes a difference is changing the Printout Mode from Normal (Color Cartridge) to Normal Grayscale (Black Cartridge). This seems to be the only thing to stop it from printing in green, but that really isn't a good fix, since it makes all the other colors turn to black, which isn't really fixing the problem.
All seems well in Ubuntu printer setup and drivers. Cups, hpijs hplip etc., system finds printer and sets it up and from system/administration/printing the printer shows up with the right description Hp deskjet d2600 on local host. when I try to print I get message "started job" and another message "finished job" but nothing prints. The log Var/log/cups/error_log shows only one thing that I think is wrong "cupsd authorize:no authentication data provided". my user name john and one other Andy (I installed) show up in lp group. I could attach the whole error_log file if it would help. I am new to Linux but love it. I used Windows NT for years. I am the administrator on the box. Don't know what to try next.
I have recently acquired me a HP all-in-one printer model HP Deskjet F2483. The printer works fine but am having issues getting the scanner to work. Following instructions I found to Google, this is what my shell looks like:
Code: sh-4.0$ sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
My HP Deskjet D-2660 will not print. I can print to file but not the printer. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and have no other problems. I have installed hpip and hpijs form HP and cups was made available via and upgrade. I have a lot of data from var/log/cups/error_log but don't know what it is supposed to say.
I can print to file and everything else I check seems to say that all is right. Is there any glaring faults that I should look for?? As I stated on the other post I get a message that the print job has been sent to the printer and then another message stating that the print job has completed. In system/administration/printing, the printer shows up properly and has a green check mark on it. Connected to localhost shows at the bottom of the little window. Under /printer it shows shared and enabled Then under printer/properties, it shows as the HP Deskjet D2600 series the location is given as john-desktop It defines the Device URI: hp:/usb/Deskjet_D2600_series?serial=CN9ANDF0ZT05C9 shows the Make and Model HP Deskjet d2600 Series hpijs,.. printer state: idle
Across the bottom it theoretically allows you to print a test page or clean the print heads. (won't print) On the printing-local host small page that opens under system/administration/printing there is no group under that heading only new group or new group from selection. I never named a group since I am the only user.
I have shut the printer down and disconnected the USB and rebooted. Then connect the power and plug in the USB cable I get all the same answers nothing appears to change. Here is some of the var/log/cups/error_log file. It does this over and over every minute same thing. The print que is empty from both administration and applications.
I have successfully gotten my Canon MX300 Printer to work with CUPS. The printer works great, but for some reason it prints out white lines incredibly slow. The printer acts as if it is printing out actual text, e.g. if I have half a page of empty space, it prints it line by line for some reason... Anyone know what may cause this? I know that CUPS is not ideal with all printers, but it did not do this at first actually.
Just recently got a few printers connected to the network at my shop and I've managed to get them connected in with samba for the linux clients. Whenever I try to print from one of the clients, the printer will click on and whiz away, but only prints on the first page stuff that looks like this:
Code: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%BoundingBox: 38 24 574 768 %%Title: Enscript Outpu %%For: User N
It seems to me that the printer isn't processing the postscript data properly (or I'm just not sending it in the right format) but I'm at a loss as to how to go about fixing it.
I have an HP Printer which prints black horizontal lines after each line or colors an entire blank line black, so a blank page will come out all black. Others who have access to the Printer are able to print well, without any problem.
I have 2 pc connected to a HP officejet j6480 1 pc connect by usb the other is eth via a router. The eth pc will not print anything but a test page. It it open a print box but won't give a option to print. The other pc is also on the same router. USB print fine.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and I have an HP D1660 printer. The printer has already been added, and HPLIP is installed. I can't get anything to actually come out of the printer, even though I can send a job to the printer. Does this have anything to do with CUPS?
Here are some of the last error log messages after using the printer troubleshooter (I only included some because it's a long list):
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. Does anyone know if this is normal or if there is a fix. I have the printer connected with a USB cable.
I'm struggling on installing a KONICA-MINOLTA printer magicolor 4695MF printing properly with Linux Mint Debian Edition (up to date). The test page works fine...
KONICA-MINOLTA delivers 2 PPDs: one for standard printing and one for OpenOffice printing (available on the KONICA-MINOLTA support site).
Leaving a side the one for OpenOffice which is poor in using the capabilities of the printer, I concentrate only on the global one (M4695PX.ppd).
It's much more difficult for other applications, starting with EVINCE: some PDF files are printed properly (i.e. those generated in OpenOffice by the CUPS PDF printer), others come out as one only blank page, regardless to the original length of the document.
So documents received from 3rd party may be "printable" or not. And trust Murphy, the most critical aren't printed...

I tried setting up my printer, HP Deskkjet D2660, using CUPS. I enabled the CUPS service and configure the printer through it. But when I try to test print, my printer wont print. Now, i tried to look at the net for possible answer and somewhere, I read that my printer needs the newer version of hplip than the one included with the default slackware 13.0 install.
1. Do i really need to update hplip just to make my printer work? Do anyone uses the same printer model and make it work without updating the said package?
2. If i really have to update it, is there any Slackbuild script I can use to make the hplip-3.10.6.tar.gz into slackware package? I prefer creating package than installing using make.
When i pipe commands through 'less' in console, i get a load of garbage mixed into the results, and no colors either. Mainly the letters 'Esc' printed a couple of times on each line.
I had been messing about with my bash config files but i can't see anything in there to affect this. If I pipe through 'more' there is no problem, only 'less'.
I'm trying to get HP DeskJet 1050 working on Slackware 13.1. When I plug it in to USB I can see it in lsusb. I've installed CUPS started it and went to add printer - but printer is not found. Ok, so I wanted to choose the series I have but 1050 is not listed in HP (is this driver missing?). So I went on to google on it and I got to HP website telling me to install HPLIP. Ok downloaded extracted and ./configure should run but it is not there (automatic script run has no Slackware listed).
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.
I've been using slackware since slack12.2 on a linux box as router at home with some servers running on it and it's been awesome and performs perfectly. But since I upgraded to slackware 13 there is something that drives me crazy. I use to manage the box through SSH but sometimes I have to do some configs localy and it's almost impossible because I have constant echos of some traffic the iptables is forwarding to other hosts on the network.
