After the latest updates on my Ubuntu 10.10 the system is unable to connect to my HP all-in-one printer.
I downloaded the latest HPLIP software, it is now sitting in my downloads but I am unable to run the software, when I click on the file the message is "Couldn't add corrupt torrent"

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'm having a devil of a time trying to set up printing with 3 network printers: an HP Laserjet P4014n, an HP Laserjet 5200tn, and an HP Officejet Pro 8500 a909a. The three printers are connected directly to the office intranet and have their own ip addresses. The system I'm trying to configure is running Wheezy, and HPLIP and Cups are both installed. I have confirmed (from [URL] ....) that all printers are supported.
First, running "hp-setup -i" (hplip-gui is not installed -- I do not wish to pull in half of KDE simply to configure printing), the program only finds the 2 laserjets. Adding one of them creates a printer in CUPS with an "hp:/net/<printer name>" connection. Attempting to printing a test page through CUPS fails with message "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed".
Interestingly enough, running "hp-probe -bnet" finds all three printers. However, running "hp-makeuri" with each printer's ip address fails with "error: Device not found". Hmmm, so HPLIP can apparently go from seeing everything to seeing nothing. Very useful.
Moving to the CUPs browser interface, clicking "Find New Printers" under the "Administration" tab also only shows the 2 laserjets, although each is listed three times(!). The only difference that I can see among the three versions of each printer is in the connection uri:
dnssd://<printer name>._printer._tcp.local/
dnssd://<printer name>._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/
dnssd://<printer name>._ipp._tcp.local/
Adding any one of them seems to work, although I do not understand why there are three of them (presumably different protocols, though what they are and the differences between them are, I don't know).
Logging into the officejet control panel and browsing at its network configuration, I see mDNS, SNMP, and WINS are disabled, although SLP is enabled. Looking in '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf', I see 'BrowseLocalProtocols' is set to only CUPS and DNSSD, so I add SLP and restart CUPS. No change; the officejet still doesn't show. I go back into the officejet control panel and enable mDNS (which, if I understand correctly, is essentially the same as DNSSD). Nothing; the officejet still doesn't show.
I see that the latest hplip is by default (3.10.2 in synaptic)great I thought but unlike the 3.10.2 version which was previously downloaded from the web(for 9.04) this default version STILL cannot produce photos without borders? In trying to install the web version (over the default version) which allows for exact printer settings. my printer then went haywire! Its for this reason only that I must go back to windows for HP essential. its a pity because this problem has been known for ages
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to upgrade my current hp printer driver 3.10.9 to the latest version 3.11.1 According to 'Google' the command to remove the driver is sudo apt-get remove hplip but when I type this in terminal I get:liz@lizubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove hplipReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency treeReading state information... DonePackage hplip is not installed, so not removed0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 12 not upgraded.
I installed 3.10.9 as per the Launchpad website - it looks like Ubuntu is not 'seeing' hplip although it is installed and working. I guess I need a more subtle command to get rid of all the hp driver files. Or could I just install 3.11.1 over the top? (Would have thought best to remove 3.10.9 first).

i have troubles using various HPLIP applications (HPLIP toolbox, HP setup, HP systray icon) because it doesn't find QT4. However i have qt4 installed (at least i think so, there are quite a few QT4 packages available, and i can't a metapackage that will install everything needed but qt4core, qt4gui and a bunch others are instlalled. pyqt4 is installed.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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

View 3 Replies View RelatedAnyone knows how to do borderless printing with HPLIP? I have an HP Photosmart C5550. On XP it is able to print borderless (without the white edges on 4 sides) on letter size (both plain and photo paper),but in F13 I always have a white border (~5mm or 0.2 inch) on the 4 sides of plain or photo paper.
Some old postings around 2008 said I should
- run hp-toolbox
- select "Print Settings" tab
- choose "fullbleed" (eg. 1200dpi fullbleed) in "print quality".
When I tried to follow this posting, I see no "fullbleed" selection in F13. Did I miss anything?
I have now two computers running Fedora 14 64 bit. The previous installation was a couple years ago and i have had no problem getting HPLIP installed - at least not a lot of trouble. This time, however, the install disk has installed the latest version but without a number of its dependencies. The .run shell only tells me that it can't install this or that dependency, in this case sane-backends-devel. When I use the command su -c "yum -d 10 -e 1 install sane-backends-devel" the dependencies are located and the debugger starts. The install proceeds until the more recent libtif 64 bit file is found already on my computer but the desired but older 32 bit version has been set up for install. This stops the business with an error. I have struggled with this until my backend is no longer sane.
I am not sure where to go from here. It looks to me as though the sane-backends-devel dependencies will always prevent an install. Is there a command I could insert to prevent this from happening - such as eliminating the d 10 switch or otherwise? Is there a way to skip one error and go on, for instance? I have not always used the shell to install, and there are several other methods out there, but without this dependency I will not be able to scan, which is what I have to do.
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Whoever has trouble with hplip GUI mode, install not only qt4 but also python-qt4.

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 ?
How accurate is the ink/toner meter in the HP printer toolkit (hplip-gui)? The meter says my toner level is "good/ok" and displays a black bar with tick marks, but I'm skeptical of its accuracy. I bought this Laserjet P1006 last January, with a starter cartridge of toner that was rated for around 120 pages (if I recall), and have printed occasionally. I'm afraid of running out of toner right when I need to print something important and time-sensitive. Since it doesn't appear to be possible to look inside the toner cartridge (sorry, this is my first laser printer ), I can't do anything except hope the HP toolbox measures my toner level accurately.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an HP printer and have installed hplip in the hope of resolving some printing problems and having nicer, more consistent print dialog boxes. Unfortunately it wants dbus-python version .80+ and the current version is .70
I'm aware that centos is about stability and I'm guessing that a new version of dbus-python isn't likely to happen until centos 6-- right? So what's the best option? Can I find a newer dbus-python package that works with centos 5.2 or is that defeating the purpose of the OS? Do I have to choose between stability with printing problems and instability with better printing functionality?
I could not get my HP printer to work. So in a not so brilliant move, I have uninstalled hplip and hptool and reinstalled it.Even tough the command line message is telling that it is installed, the HPtoolbox would not run (both from the command line or the menu).Did some digging and found that all the HP related files in /usr/bin were all labelled <broken link>.So, I deleted all these.Before I tried to reinstall again, should I worry about all the leftover hplip files?

I'm getting ready to install Fedora 12 and I've been messing around with the live cd. I have a HP F4280 all in one printer. I currently am running Fedora 10 and it works fine. I remember I had to yum install the newest version of hplip and after that run the hpsetup command. My question is do I need to run the hpsetup command before using the gnome printer configuration tool or vice versa.
Also do I even need to run the gnome configuration tool at all?
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!

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?
