Ubuntu :: Setting Up Wireless Printer - No Link

Jul 12, 2011

Today I dug out an HP C7280 Wireless printer from my parents garage (very nice printer despite being 3 or so years old). I fixed it up and plugged it in and it worked like a charm. Only thing is I want to set it up to work wirelessly as we don't have any extra Printer cables. I cant get it to work though. Firstly, it has no IP address despite wireless being turned on in the printer.

Secondly, and this is probably the main problem, it has no IP address. It just says "No link" or "Not applicable" under network settings. After a lot of digging through google, I've tried everything I could find, from configuring CUPS and HPIJS and the like. Right now I have it plugged into ethernet and it has an IP but entering it into the URL bar of firefox gets nothing. It isn't detected by the printing app in ubuntu, either.

Fedora Hardware :: Setting Up The Wireless Printer HP C6380

Aug 27, 2009

I downloaded HPLIP, and I began the install process. After 'make', it prompted me to restart. Thinking that would be good, I restarted. When I logged back in I tried to print a document, and it didn't print. I don't know what to do. I tried to follow the directions at http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...all/index.html, and they weren't very good. How can I tell if everything is installed for the printer? Once it is installed, how do I configure it and set it up? It is a wireless printer.

Ubuntu Networking :: Setting Up Epson SX515W Wireless Printer/Scanner?

Feb 7, 2010

I've used windows all of my life, and never really looked at Linux, so thought it would be a good time to see outside of the box! I installed Ubuntu 9.10 a couple of weeks ago after reading a few Linux Newbie books and deciding it would be the best distro for me. Being completely new with Linux it's proving difficult doing certain things which I would have done with a couple of clicks in Windows, however I've managed to get past some of the problems after hours of searching and messing about. I managed to set my wireless network up, and with a great struggle my wireless printer using cups- which now seems to be printing fine over the network, its IP is 192.168.0.105. However even after reading lots of info and tutorials on Forums & Blogs nothing seems to work regards to my scanner (which is an all-in-one printer SX515W).

The information is completely overwhelming. I've been told to use iscan with the network plugin which I downloaded from [URL] after installing and running image scan or xscan the printer would scan for a couple of seconds and then it would stop, and I'd have to reset my printer. I read the documents supplied, blogs, and forums telling me to do certain things such as:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf
add "net 192.168.0.105 1865"
sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

[code]....

Like I said, being new to Linux I'm completely lost with what I'm doing or what I should be listing here! This is my last resort really, if I still can't get this thing working I may just give up because it's so stressfull!

Ubuntu Networking :: Setting Up A Lexmark X4650 Printer For Wireless Printing With 64 Bit?

Feb 20, 2011

I have a 64 bit laptop and i am using the 64 bit version of ubuntu 10.10. i am wanting to setup a lexmark x4650 printer which has wifi built in and can do wireless printing. i have the driver from lexmark installed but it is the i386 version which i know is the 32 bit version. and i know that 32 and 64 bit versions don't work so well together. i've gone through all kinds of help on these forums and for some reason when go to print a test page, it comes back with an error statement. i will have to try it again so i can post it verbatim.

i have a similar thread in the 64 bit thread so if it can be locked or deleted and have just this one, that would be cool. this same printer is not connected to any computer for it's wireless printing ability. it is a stand alone but all of my families laptops can use it since they have the software on theirs. they are using windows 7 which is what i have also, but i am switching to linux since i am not a fan of microsoft at all. i despise everything they do. i love linux and the community around it and i just want to get this printer setup so i can make the last and final switch. this is the only thing holding me up.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: D-Link USB Wireless .11n Dongle Configured, But No Connection?

Apr 27, 2010

I recently bought a D-Link DIR-655 router capable of 802.11n operation, upgrading from a DIR-624 router only capable of 802.11g operation. While my overall setup uses wired connections, other people in the house prefer wireless, and the upgrade was undertaken more for a hoped for increase in wireless range, rather than the possibility of increased speed, since the router is located to accommodate the wired connections. However, to test the 802.11n operation I bought a D-Link DWA-130 USB dongle for my now 5-year old laptop, which comes with an otherwise satisfactory 100Mbs ethernet port(eth1) and an 802.11g wireless card(eth0). By checking the dmesg | grep firmware output after I plugged in the dongle I determined that the necessary firmware was rtl8192sfw.bin, which I found on the web, and downloaded into the directory /lib/RTL8192SU.

A subsequent reboot and then YaST > Network Devices > Network Settings showed the device as wlan0, but not configured. I changed the Network Setup Method to ifup (since I can see no way to do a device configuration in Network Manager), and configured the device, and at the same time deleted the configuration for the existing 802.11g wireless card(eth0). I then rebooted, went back into YaST to confirm the wlan0 device was configured and the 802.11g device (eth0) was not, changed the Network Setup Method back to Network Manager, rebooted again. Making sure that the router was set to only transmit/receive using 802.11n I then typed iwlist scan. To my surprise, the output showed first that the supposedly unconfigured eth0 device seemed to be still active, for it found my home network, and claimed that the protocol used was 802.11g. On the other hand, the newly configured wlan0 device produced the message: "Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down".

First, should I expect iwlist scan to work for a device that shows as unconfigured? And even if it should work, shouldn't it show 802.11n as the protocol, assuming that the router is in fact telling the truth? Is there any independent means to determine if the router is only using 802.11n as it claims? Second, the overall goal is to make the wireless network in the house 802,11n only, and since the dongle is backward compatible with 802.11g, I would expect to permanently unconfigure the eth0 device and use the dongle, both here and on the road. I do not need two wireless connections on my laptopThe laptop is running SuSE 11.2 as of about a month ago. Some relevant(I hope) command line output:siracusa:~ # uname -aLinux siracusa 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/LinuxUSB Information

Ubuntu :: Setting Up A Samsung ML-02851ND Printer?

Jun 14, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Setting Up Ad-hoc Network To Printer?

Mar 28, 2011

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.

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

General :: Setting Up Printer On OpenSuSE?

Sep 16, 2010

I have a copy of OpenSuSE which works fine, but like previous older versions of Linux it is difficult to setup the printer which is a HP 2605dn color laserjet. Once, I was able to get it setup using the CUPS software online, but was only able to print out a test copy and after that I was where I was before the setup.

This problem also happened on a Netbook computer which came with Ubuntu on it. The OS was able to pick up the network printer the first time too. On OpenSuSE it does not pick it up automaticly and and it seems to be difficult to setup using the built in software, or the cups system.

Ubuntu Networking :: Setting Up Network Printer With User Authentication?

However when they try to set up my netbook running ubuntu desktop 10.04 they don't get it to prompt for a password, which makes the printer reject the printout. How do you fix this?

Debian Hardware :: Setting Up Serial Drum Printer

I have yet to get the old system they were attached to up and running, I want to try to get the printer up and running under a modern linux install. The printer is a LP11 and attaches via serial. The most simple way to me seems to be via LPD, but Im not sure on how to proceed.

Fedora :: Setting Authentication Details For A Samba Printer In F15?

Jun 8, 2011

I've been trying to set up my printer that I'm sharing through a desktop running Windows 7 and am having trouble getting the authentication details to stay saved, or even work, for that matter.

No matter whether or not I tell the New Printer program to remember my authentication details, it doesn't. If I tell it to prompt me if it needs details, I get no prompt. So, in order for me to print a document, I have to tell it to print, then go into the print queue and authenticate it from there.

1. IIs there a way, either manually or through GUI, to either save my authentication details or just have it prompt me upon printing to save me from going into the print queue?

2. This isn't exactly on-topic, but it came up while I tried to set up the printer. Has anyone else had their SMB URI come up incorrectly with the spaces incorrectly rendered as "20" instead of "%20:?

Software :: Setting Default Printer Margins In Kate?

Oct 4, 2010

I use kate for almost all my text editing (not word processing). I love it, but it defaults to margins that don't work on my printers. Things get cut off at the top and bottom of the page. The printer works fine with all my other applications - most of those allow the margins to be set in the application.

In kate, I can go to printer properties and set the margins to something that will work, but I have to do it every time I print.

Is there some way around this?

I read some posts elsewhere about using enscript. I know how to do that, but not from within kate.

Debian Configuration :: Setting Up A CUPS/Samba Shared Network Printer?

Aug 19, 2010

how to get clients connecting to an office printer. during a migration from windows server to debian/samba.

We have:

5 windows XP machines one Windows Server 2003 machine, PDC of the old domain One debian Samba PDC (of TEST domain)/print server (with CUPS installeD) running in a virtual machine hosted by the windows server One Toshiba eStudio 3511 printer

Using the CUPS control panel, I've been able to autodetect and add the printer, and it appears as an available share in SWAT for samba. However, the driver isn't perfect. CUPS could only supply drivers for the 3510c, not the 3511.

However, clients on the TEST domain are unable to access it. Doing so gives an error about a local policy preventing a connection to the print queue. I've tried googling this error and the fix that comes up in every result about changing a point and print policy setting, does not work.

however, I've been able to work around the issue. by first logging in as local administrator, navigating to the domain server, then inputting the domain root account credentials at the prompt. That allows me to attempt to connect to printers, but with a different error

"The server for the printer does not have the correct driver installed...."

I very strongly suspect that the 3510 driver actually will work, but it's just not being shared properly. The printer driver share folder is /var/lib/samba/printers, and that directory contains only a few empty subfolders. CUPS did not place the driver there as I would expect, and that is where clients are looking for it.

The thing is, I have no idea where CUPS DID put the driver.

On the old domain, the printer uses drivers for es4511, and looking on the toshiba site, this seems to be what they provide. The Toshiba Site provides a huge variety of drivers, including several windows ones, a universal driver, and a CUPS PPD. Cups asks for an optional PPD during install and I tried supplying that. It said installed successfully, but didn't change anything.

I've tried pasting the windows drivers into /var/lib/samba/printers/W32X86 too, and likewise with other drivers from toshiba's site. but this doesn't change anything either, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

how to install/setup drivers on a samba PDC, for windows machines?

Also relevant, my smb.conf:
anyone see any possible causes of problems?
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN ()
# Date: 2010/08/19 13:03:07

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Setting Up Epson Stylus SX420W Printer / Scanner

Mar 17, 2011

I am trying to set up my Epson Stylus SX420W printer (via USB) on a fresh install of 11.4. I have found a driver called 'epson-inkjet-printer-nx420-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm', which I guess is right for my Intel Core i5-system on the Avasys-site that Epson refers to for Linux drivers.

I have downloaded the driver and installed it via Right-Click -> Open With -> Install/Remove Software, which seemed to go well. When I open Yast -> Hardware -> Printer -> Add, my printer is found all right, but 'No matching driver found'. Iam quite new to Linux.

Ubuntu Networking :: Lucid Not Recognizing TP-Link USB Wireless

Jun 13, 2010

my card is not recognized in any way by ifconfig or iwconfig as shown below, but is visible via lsusb. It is 54Mb usb, and has a detachable antenna with the Atheros chipset shown below. I have removed (by #) the ath_pci from the blacklist under /etc/modprobe.d but cannot seem to start this still. I used compat-wireless-2010-06-01 (06-12 appeared to have errors I could not easily overcome). The lspci -nn command only shows my internal broadcom which I am not currently using. My goal is to do wireless research so I need the atheros (among others)...

Seems to me that their should only be one ath9k driver, but several are loaded. Are all required for functionality perhaps?

Ubuntu Networking :: No Wireless Connection To D-Link DSL-2680

I've just received a new router from TalkTalk - a D-Link DSL-2680 - and was very pleased to find that after I plugged it in I could wirelessly connect straight away with my laptop. However since I first disconnected I have been unable to connect again since and have had to resort to a wired connection. I have been using Ubuntu for several years now and am very pleased with it, especially given my relatively low knowledge of computers.

My system is as follows:

IBM T42 laptop

Ubuntu 10.10 - I was running V9, but upgraded as some discussions suggested this might be an issue The wireless adapter is built in to the laptop, and I'm not even sure how to find out what it is It may be a problem with the DHCP server on the router rather than a problem with the laptop.
