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

Using slackware current and I'm really digging KDE 4.4.3. It's been way more stable on my machine than 4.3.x and it performs MUCH better. I think slackware 13.1 is going to be a really good release. Much better than 13.0. Looking forward to upgrading all of my hosts though it will probably take me a few months given how many I manage.
I recently upgraded a server's networking card to a Gigabit NIC, and got a hold of a Gigabit switch (Here's a link) in the hopes of increasing my network performance - however, I'm getting around 10 MB/s throughput now, which is exactly what I used to get with the old 10/100 switch & NIC. The new switch recognizes both computers as Gigabit (the other machine has always had a Gigabit NIC), and both computers say they're gigabit - I've found various sites around the interwebz recommending tweaking some TCP/IP buffer settings, which I have tried to no avail. I also saw that hard drive speed is usually the limiting factor. According to "hdmarp -t", the server HDD (definitely the slower of the two) is:
Code: Timing buffered disk reads: 226 MB in 3.00 seconds = 75.26 MB/sec
So that's obviously not my issue. The cabling is CAT6 - I ran it myself, but if I'd mis-wired the end connections, wouldn't it just not work at all? I admit, I bought cheap NIC's (I'm not going for like 124.9 MB/s throughput here..), and I didn't expect them to be stellar, but I certainly expected the speeds to improve. I'm moving files from a server running Ubuntu 9.04 to a Windows machine - I've tried both my Samba shares on the server and an SFTP transfer: they both have about the same throughput.
every now and then my company cleans its it trash by giving away computers to its employees. this i became the owner of a p4, 2ghz compaq evo with 512 mb ram and no hard drive. i bought a 500 gb hdd, dowloaded ubuntu, created a live disk and in a matter of minutes i had a new desktop! i love it! a new computer with a new operating system set by a non-techie in 15 minutes? not even microsoft can beat that. oh, and the total cost was zero!
then i started clearing issues (mysterious crash on p4 computers solved with a patch, screen resolution solved with a new mode, not recognized microsoft webcam to be solved, connection to stora nsa to be solved, etc.). this is nothing different from what you would go through installing windows on a new computer, in fact the process seemed easier for me as there's tons of documentation and people willing 1. overall system performance, mostly while browsing seems low. could it be the 512 mb of memory? would it improve its performance to jump to 1 or 2 gb? or it's just the processor that's too slow and not all the memory in the world would make it faster? while we're at it, is it reasonable to expect good performance on ubuntu 10.4 on a p4 2.0 ghz? (my notebook, a 2 ghz core duo runs faster on xp, but it has 3 gb memory, so i guess memory would help...).
2. choppy videos and other video, both in partial and full screen modes. again, would more ram help? updating drivers? updating flash? (i think it's all updated, but i'll retry...). or is my bottleneck in the processor? 3. my computer has an extra video card, but it's disconnected. i'm not sure about brand or model or even whether this would be an improvement on the on-board card. should i plug it and see what happens? would a better video card improve my performance?
simplifying, this is a computer for me to play and for my baby boy to pound at the keyboard. if i were to spend little money on it, what's the best investment, memory or a new video board? (i think i know the answer, memory). i don't want to extrapolate too much from my windows experience because this is a new os, but i think i would go for extra memory. if memory were the solution to all my problems... how much memory? should i go for an additional gb? full 2 gb? 3? what about buying a 1 gb card and plugging it side by side with the existing 512 mb? would 1.5 gb be enough?
Ubuntu's request for an encryption passphrase on installation could be greatly improved.
After installation, if the option to encrypt the home folder has been checked, Ubuntu prompts: "Record your encryption passphrase".
On running the action there are the following problems:
# When you type a passphrase, your keypresses are not indicated on the screen
# If you make a mistake typing the passphrase, and backspace, there is no way of knowing whether the backspace operation has worked
# The passphrase is typed once and the operation ends. There is no attempt to validate the correct entry of the passphrase by asking for it to be typed twice.
The combination of these shortfalls can be fatal. My last recorded encryption passphrase proved to be incorrect when after a critical failure I was required to enter my encryption passphrase to retrieve my data. It had not been backed up for a while. Ubuntu did not recognise my passphrase. Only after some dogged support from Canonical was the problem resolved.
I've just done a fresh install. I have butter fingers. I inevitably fumbled over the entry of my encryption passphrase. I have absolutely no way of verifying the passphrase I just set. Should Ubuntu ditch another critical failure on me, what do you think the chances are that my passphrase will work?
I 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 am planning on purchasing a new printer, HP 8500 all in one. I downloaded hplip.net. it is listed in the downloads. Now how do I install hplip? I want to ready for the new printer. Chef Robert Here in the Land Of Enchantment.
I have been having the issue with my printer, where it will not print using both cartridges, and just mixes the colours to try and make black....I have found the following patch, but would like to know how to apply it?
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"
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.
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 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
'tried 5 or 6 solutions on the different threads on hplip - none seem to affect the download of the plugin - always 'no network connection detected'.'Running Lucid on a Dell Optiplex 755 w/ an HP1020. The printer appears to be recognized - show up on admin/printer
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 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.
Anyone 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.
I 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.
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 ?
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.
I 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 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:
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!
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"
