Ubuntu :: HPLIP Option Not Present When Setting Up Printer?
Apr 20, 2010
I just built a system and put a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 on it. I have two other systems with 9.10 as well. On both of them the printer (an HP Officejet Pro 7680 set up directly on the network) is shown as an HPLIP printer with a URI that starts with hp:/net/ . When trying to set up this printer on the new machine the option for HPLIP is not present and the URI starts with dnssd://. I can only set up as and LPD Network Printer or an Appsocket/JetDirect network printer. Yes I have the hplip stuff installed on the new machine. My main concern is actually using the scanner function with Xsane. The other two machines scan just fine, the new one can't find any devices. I think this must be connected with the lack of HPLIP functions. This is with the AMD64 bit version of 9.10
Deskjet-F4400-series -------------------- Type: Unknown Installed in HPLIP?: No, not using the hp: or hpfax: CUPS backend. Device URI: usb://HP/Deskjet%20F4400%20series?serial=CN9C1CK70705C5 PPD: /etc/cups/ppd/Deskjet-F4400-series.ppd
[code]....
how do I get the printer installed in hplip? I can print but cannot scan. xsane will not recognize printer. Jaunty 64bit 2GB Ram 350GB HD
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.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. The Update Manager did an update to HPLIP, the Hewlett Packard Linux Internet Printing software, one or two days ago. When I went to print today, the HP Officejet 4500 printer showed up in Open Office when my mouse pointed to the printer icon. But, the printer wouldn't work. Then I noticed that the HPLIP Toolbox icon was moved from the Applications - Accessoires folder, to the System - Preferences folder. I reinstalled all the HPLIP software, using the Synaptic Package Manager. When I click on the HPLIP Toolbox & run the HP Device Manager, it says "No Installed HP Devices Found".I was a little surprised to see the software upgrade caused the HPLIP toolbox to move fromhe Applications folder to the System folder. Because of this, I suspect there may be a bug in the upgraded software? Is anyone else having this problem?
I installed a LPT1 printer a hp office jet T65 to add this printer was requested hplip I install the software that should de printer driver, when I print a file the file remain only in processing it wont go forwarder then that.I hope I was explicitly enough.
I have Ubuntu 9.04, and a HP laserjet 1018 printer.
I install the printer using:
And when it ask me about plugin I give the path to it. (the 3.9.2 version of the plugin, because Ubuntu 9.04 has the 3.9.2 version of hplip)
well I install the printer, everything works perfectly. .... but, when I turn off the PC, and turn it on again, the printer does NOT work!, I send work for being printed but mothing happens , Ubuntu tells me that the job was printed but ... no case, my printer does not print it. I have to install it again since cero. what can I don to stop install it every time I turn off the computer ?
I plan on changing brands in printer from HP to Brother in the near future. Will I need to completely remove HPLIP before installing Brother printer software pkg on Ubuntu 10.04?
I did an upgrade using preupgrade program and it went very well. However, I have lost my HP 1020 printer. Can anyone assist with this. I tried to use HPLIP-Gui, but it doesn't even see the printer at all. The other problem is that I get the following message when trying to use Yumex:
Failure getting http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/11/i386/...ta/repomd.xml: 13:09:06 : --> [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found 13:09:06 : Trying other mirror. 13:09:06 : Failure getting http://livna.cat.pdx.edu/fedora/11/i...ta/repomd.xml:
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!
Trouble with cups - Opensuse 11.3 x86-64 Hplip installed prrinter = HP photosmart 4280 No way I can set the printer as default printer in cups as in 11.2. Now hp-device-manager. Part of hplip is complaining "set the default printer"
When I try to change some settings of my printer using HPLIP it tells me to add myself to the lp an sys group. Is that safe ? What are those groups used for ?
I just installed HPLIP using Synaptic package manager. One of the configure parameters (shown by 'hp-check -r') is
Code:
Am I correct in assuming that this means that a network printer will not work? Is there a way to override this while still using synaptic package manager? Would I then be able to use a network printer?
I have my eye on the HP photosmart plus B209A - and it looks like HPLIP supports it (there is a ppd file for it).
I have an HP Photosmart USB printer that I configured with HPLIP (which seemingly "exports" into CUPS). All is well until the printer is turned off and then back on again sometime later: somebody, somewhere automagically adds the printer to CUPS so that I have two, count 'em, printers defined.
I have recently installed Fedora 13 on my netbook. I wish to use my HP Officejet via the HPLIP utility. The problem with this is that when I have the firewall turned on, the printer is not recognised at all during setup. When the firewall is switched off, the printer is recognised. The printer in question is an HP Officejet 8500a which is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless router. I would like to know if there are any network ports (that's used by HPLIP) that I could 'turn on' in the firewall that could let my computer recognise the printer.
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.
I just installed opensuse 11.3 and was configuring the printer (via http) as usually using the HP Device Manager. But this time I got these error message:Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again
These lines were generated in the error-log of cups: E [31/Jul/2010:23:30:35 +0200] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file "/usr/share/cups/drv/sample.drv"! E [31/Jul/2010:23:30:35 +0200] [cups-driverd] Skipping "/usr/share/ppd": loop detected!
I had set up a newly purchased HP F4488 using HPLIP, I installed it on my Fedora 10 desktop and it worked fine for the past 2 days. Suddenly, it is failing to print. The scanner works and the photocopier works. When a print job is initialized there is an error and the printer gets disabled.
I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue before I send a note off to Slackware on this.
The --current hplip package can't seem to actually complete the installation of a networked hp printer that has the printer physically plugged into the network.
The hplip app initially does detect the device, then I click next, then it says installation failed as it can't connect to the device.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
I am however able to build, and run an older hplip that --current used a while back and it works splendid for adding a printer over the network.
I'm using version hplip-3.9.4b-i486-1 but I know that's not a big help to the project.
I have ubuntu jaunty 9.04 installed in my system(thats my only OS.. no dual boot). When I tried to install hplip to enable hp printer driver, I understood that 9.04 is obsolete and no more support for it. I want to upgrade now. Update manager shows '10.04' for uogradation but it seems I cannot jump from 9.04 to 10.04 without getting into 9.10.
I recently had problems with my HP printer in Fedora 12, where as I never had a problem with it in any other distrubution.... For some reason, the HPLIP driver in the repo doesn't work correctly... I don't know why... but I kept getting errors with "error: Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again."
I tried every suggestion I found... which was installing extra dependencies, disabling firewall, disabling SELinux and a whole bunch of other stuff... but nothing worked... THEN finally I decided to use the HPLIP driver from the HP website... it was a .run file... and I executed it, and my printer has worked perfect eversince..... my question is.... has anybody successfully installed their hp printer from the hplip driver in the repo's..??? I don't know why it didn't work for me, and i've seen other fedora users complain of the same thing? maybe theres something wrong with the package? or its not pulling in a needed dependency? I don't know...
I'm using an up-to-date installation of Squeeze with the default Gnome desktop and am trying to print. My knowledge of configuring printers is very limited if it even exists. Since a friend of mine is able to print from her Ubuntu computer, my plan is to copy her. Here's how she does it. She goes under System->Administration->Printing on the desktop. Then a window pops up titled "Printing" that lists various printers that are supposed to exist. It's possible to add one by selecting Add->Printer. It asks for the root password and then a new window pops up titled "New Printer" which has a subwindow called "Select Device" In my case, the "Select Device" window has the following options to choose from:
- AppSocket/HP JetDirect - Internet Printing Protocol (ipp) - LPD/LPR Host or Printer
In her case, she has an extra option called "Windows Printer via Samba". This is the option that she uses. The other options don't seem to work for her. I'm assuming that I just need to install some package in order to make this option magically pop up for me. Does anyone know what package this may be? I currently have the packages smbclient, samba-common and samba-common-bin installed..........

I've been trying to add a printer that's hosted on a Windows XP machine to my Ubuntu/Crunchbang 9.04 laptop. It's been a suprisingly pain-filled process (I've done it before, and it took thirty seconds...), so here's a summary:
Somehow, the cups daemon wasn't running, but I fixed that by downgrading (sic) libgcrypt11.
I've tried both the samba and the samba4 packages.
Since before I started worrying about this, I got an error message while booting up that the winbind daemon had failed to load. I've tried reinstalling it, but that hasn't done anything.
where I could lok to resolve this conflict?The command-line: lpotions -p printer -lReports the saved values with an "*" and (for evample: PageSize=Letter, InputSlot=MPT) seem to be in effect. However, the desired page size has been set and subsequently reports in both the web-based CUPS and the YaST printer utilities, as A4
I am creating a script for making a public folder in linux. The idea behind is to allow any user to write files in this folder and further each of those files can be used by any user. For this purpose I am using acl. This first requires to set acl as mount option in /etc/fstab which I need to do with help of (awk and sed) command available in linux.
The line below is the fstab entry which I need to make change in. UUID=e9a3db4b-d8c0-40b4-a661-131e13afea1e /ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
I want my script to identify this line (most probably with / which denotes the mountpoint) and then add (acl,) without brackets in options. Currently I use the command as below sed 's/realtime/acl,relatime/' /etc/fstab but the above command is in reference with (realtime) what I am planning is that my script should be able to find the line which has / and then go to options and add acl there.
I just got a new printer (photosmart premium) and I have tried to set it up in the printing config but the listed printers do not include mine..do I have any other options?
I run a couple Ubuntu machines in the house, my wife runs XP, there's an eee, etc. I got a Samsung ML-02851ND printer thinking that I could just plug it into my router and then install the printer on all of the various machines and I could print from them. I guess I realize that I can hook up the printer to a host machine and go that route, but i thought the whole point was to hook the printer up to the router.
I recently purchased an hp 3050 printer because of it's wireless functionality. I found this (click me) where someone got it working. I tried to follow it step by step, but I couldn't get the ad-hoc network to work reliably.
I used the network manager to locate the printer's ad hoc network (it correctly identified it as ad-hoc) I then edited this connection, made it a "Link-local only" network in the ipv4 tab and then connected.
Usually what happens is that networkmanager claims that it has connected. I get a signal strength and everything, but I can't actually communicate with the printer. I entered the ip address (into firefox) given to me by asking the printer to print it's network settings, and I don't get a response.
Notice that I said "usually". I've tried this many times, and one time, I actually connected to the printer, got the browser interface, tried to use the interface to connect the printer to my wireless router, and failed (then the browser interface didn't work anymore [which of course would make sense if the printer tried to connect to the router, but I don't even know if I got far enough into the process for that to be the problem]). The printer does not show up as a device on my wireless router (my router has a list of all devices that are logged into it), so it failed somehow. I have never been able to duplicate that "success" again in spite of the fact that I've used the printers control panel to reset network defaults.
It seems that the people who were on the questions forum had no problem connecting the ad-hoc network. I kind of suspect that there is something wrong with the printer's wireless device.
PS: I noticed that hp-setup has an option to plug a wireless printer in via USB, set it up then it should work wirelessly, however, I couldn't get that to work with this printer.
