I updated to the recent 9.10 version of Ubuntu and found that my printer no longer works. When trying to print, the printer just blinks and *occasionally* makes a noise and prints out a partial line of text or whatever. It's a USB connecting HP Deskjet D1420 that is not a network printer and does not need to be networked.

I recently installed 10.04 and the printer was working for a while. Now when I print something the print que icon shows up and goes out like it has printed but nothing prints. I ran the troubleshooter and got this.
Page 1 (Scheduler not running?):
{'cups_connection_failure': False}
Page 2 (Choose printer):
{'cups_dest': <cups.Dest HP-Deskjet (default)>,

The Printer works when printing Test Pages.
I want to print an image on GIMP and, in the General TAB, appears:
Status -> /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed.
I'm using a HP Deskjet F380 multifunction printer on a ubuntu 9.1 machine. It recognises it as an F300 series printer and so far it prints and scans very well. The problem is that I usually print 2 pages per sheet and double side on windows but I cannot do it on linux (in this case the option of printing odd pages first and even pages second is useless). I see there is an option in your printer preferences to print double side but it doesn't work.

hp-levels reports the black cartridge as 82% full and in good health hp-info says "there is a problem with a print cartridge" hp-clean either doesn't help or doesn't run
I've tried wiping the print head (the ink's coming out OK) and polishing the cartridge connection.
I can't print via our network printer (HP DeskJet 3650) which is connected to a WinXP PC on the network. My laptop is wireless connected to the network. My distribution is openSUSE 11.2 and I tried setting up the network printer via CUPS:
Went to http://localhost:631
Add Printer
Device: Windows Printing via SAMBA
Device URI: smb://UMBRELLA/SMOKE/HP3600
Make: HP
Model: HP DeskJet 3650, hpcups 3.9.8 (en)
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Then clicked the "Print Test Page" button. At this point the printer actually starts making sounds.. the same sounds it makes when it's preparing to print something. But then, it stops. The printing job is still present in the printer queue at the WinXP PC, but it won't print.
So I looked at this documentation: [URL]
Step 2 from this documentation tells me to install a PPD file.. which I can't find anywhere. It's not on the original HP driver CD, neither can it be downloaded from this page: http://www.openprinting.org/show_pri...P-DeskJet_3650.
Also, I believe I have everything installed:
Code:
serrano@saibot:/usr/share/cups/model/HP> rpm -qa hplip hplip-hpijs foomatic-filters
hplip-hpijs-3.9.8-3.4.1.i586
foomatic-filters-4.0.1-2.1.i586
hplip-3.9.8-3.4.1.i586
Suse is 11.1 or maybe 11.2 (btw, how to see the version?) Printer is HP Deskjet 2468 belongs to the 2400 series
I connected the usb ,and Copmuter -> Printing -> New Printer Auto find it and install the driver
Now I can see it but it would not print a test page
I have not a lp group from the YaST -> User and Group Management
I just installed my HP DeskJet 1220C printer on my CentOS 5.2 server, and it's working apart from one GIANT issue: It only prints from my Windows machines via its Samba share. It won't print from any of my Linux machines, not even the machine itself. I seem to be stumped here, I cannot find a reason why its doing this.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.
I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.
We developed qt based application in linux. I wish to stop ejecting the paper after printing over.How to do it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOS: Ubuntu 10.10 I've been trying to get my HP DeskJet D2660 printer to work for a while now, but I am having several problems that I can't seem to get around. For the driver I have 2 options. The hpijs (hplip) or the hpcups driver. Neither of them work properly.
The HPLIP driver and control software keeps telling me that the stuff I print has printed correctly, but my printer does nothing. It just sits there laughing at me whilst I get popups on my monitor telling me that the print job start and completes. I have successfully printed the print head calibration paper and aligned them as told by the HP software, but after I have done so, it just goes back to sleep. Nothing prints, not even the test page. I can't understand why it prints the calibration sheet just fine and then, afterwards, it won't print anything else but tells me everything prints fine.
The HPCUPS driver works just fine, but it has these really bad shadows on everything I print caused by incorrect alignment of the print heads. There seems to be no option of correcting this using the HPCUPS driver. So, what I have is a HPLIP driver which allows me to calibrate but won't print, and a HPCUPS driver which prints just fine, but won't allow me to calibrate. My HPLIP driver version: 3.10.6 (official from Ubuntu) I've also tried downloading and installing the latest (3.10.9), but with no luck. Prints calibration just fine, then nothing else.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy 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 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).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have spent a few hours on this, trying various combinations of instructions. The nearest I got was when I followed the instructions from the HPLIP site, but it ended up with telling me some dependencies were not installed. I installed them using the Mintinstall tool, but still no go.
Before I spend any more time on this, I would like to know if there is a user out there who has got this particular printer to run on the Mint 7 distribution? If somebody has, then I know it is at least possible, and I will persevere!
We recent got this printer as the three others are old, hard to maintain, and don't work. However, there's been no end of trouble. We've had to initially install it under Windows, which is no trouble. Intending to put it to wireless use, I've hit a problem. The HP printer tool in Slackware 13.0 claims that CUPS either isn't installed (which it is) or isn't running (which it is)
So I kept it on USB and shared it, providing yet more trouble. Slackware again seems to have trouble with CUPS (using the Printing tool from GSB). Now, Ubuntu Jaunty, the other Linux on the network, can see this printer, but doesn't have a driver for it, meaning it can't use it.
What I'd like to do is switch it to wireless. I can do that, but I don't know what to install on the two Ubuntu PCs to get the HP printer tool, or if on Jaunty, it still needs to be given the drivers for it, and on Slackware, CUPS is the problem (Though may be solved with an install of something else before long)
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.
After a recent update, I suddenly find myself unable to print on my hp Deskjet 1600;
I have the necessary software; the HP management tool is on my panel and I use it.
When I attempt to print now, I get an error that says "hpcups is not installed".
Here is the output of the troubleshooter

Can't install a HP Deskjet F4140 in FC13.
I have installed;
1. All Cups rpm's
2. Gutenprint-cups
3. All the hplip rpms
4. hpijs
And I still can't get the HP Deskjet F4140 to show up in Selection Window. I have even run HP-Setup and it can't install the F4140 . HP-Setup can see the F4140 is on USB port but can't install it.
I went to the HP website and it says the printer is Supported in the hplip drivers
I have installed HPLIP and cups found the driver for the printer and all seemed to be setup fine. However when I tried to send a test print, cups showed the job status as stopped. If I try to send anything from Open Office, the page never prints. Not sure where to go from here.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any Linux distribution which supports the mentioned printer out of the box. Tried with Mint 10, I downloaded hplip 3.11.1 and followed instructions on hplipopensource, but OMG it is so complicated..I ran the bash script upon downloading the file. I am unable to install all the needed dependencies. For some it says not installed, When I try to install, it says it is in conflict with some other package and cannot install! I have never struggled so much in installing a printer. I was thinking Ubuntu and Mint are probably the most popular around. I am willing to shift to any distro which supports my printer. Also, scan should work. It is also not getting recognized by Xsane and other scanning apps!
