Ubuntu :: Installation - Getting Laserjet 2100 To Connect ?
Mar 15, 2011
I'm trying to connect Ubuntu (wubi installation on Windows) to an HP LaserJet 2100M printer via a USB cable which worked on Vista (I'm migrating away from Vista into Ubuntu).
System > Administration > Printing..I could not see or add any printer.
I searched around and followed these instructions ..
How to Install HP Printer Driver onto Ubuntu 10.10
[url]
I downloaded hplip-3.11.1.run but in following installation instructions I think I may have needlessly removed a previously installed hplip driver ..3.10.6 .. and various dependencies were loaded with these errors ..
Now when I go to System > Administration > Printing
In troubleshooting there is no connection to CUPS server. The "Add" button is no longer green as before I started dabbling. No discovered printers.
How do I start again to get HP LaserJet 2100M connected (USB cable) .. and printing?
i have tried to install via usb ubuntu 10 - but after the boot menu my pc monitor says vga not support - i know some ati 2100 cards have a problem with ubuntu (onboard), is there anything i can do?
At the moment i am trying wibi install -- circa 64hrs remaining for download lol
ps my pc runs fine on xp.
specs amd x2 4400+ @ 2.3GHZ Brisbane, 1Gig ram, ati onboard 2100, i think a amd 740G chipset.
My Dell Latitude 2100 worked fine with the pre-installed Ubuntu 9.04. I upgraded to 9.10 and the touchpad stopped working. Restored to factory condition and it again worked fine. I re-did the upgrade, this time asking it not to delete the obsolete items.
I've got an HP LaserJet 3300 all-in-one that I can't seem to get working as a scanner.Printing and copying work fine, but not the scanner function. I'm running kubuntu 10.04, but my guess is that kubuntu vs. ubuntu doesn't matter here.I'm using an IEEE-to-usb cable to connect the device to my box. When I first plug it in, cups recognizes it, and I see a popup in the lower right of my screen entitled "printer applet" and saying configuring new printer". Then it says "hp-laserjet-3300-3310-3320 is ready for printing". After this, printing works fine.But no scanning. lsusb doesn't see the device:
[brett@grox:~]$ lsusb Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
I am running Ubuntu 10.04LTS on two PC's, one PC is running Ubuntu 64-bit, the other is running Ubuntu 32-bit. They are set up on a network to share a HP Colour Laserjet 2600N printer. However, I cannot configure either PC to use the printer. I am using the "HP LIP" toolbox in "System -> Preferences" but every time it detects that it needs a binary driver from HP, it goes to the HP website, where I am prompted to accept a license - then it starts to download the file only to fail. The logic seems to go into a loop at this point and the missing installation file that the system needs simply cannot be downloaded. I've tried looking around the HP website but I cannot find a solution there.
its weird because it doesn't get hot on anything else i do. i play urban terror all the time and it stays plenty cool, along with typical usage such as word processing and power points and web browsing.
I'm using a Gateway E-475m I have an upgraded western digital 320 GB HD I upgraded my ram to 4 GB (it only picks up 2.7) I am using ubuntu 9.10
I'm trying to breathe life into this old laptop; so I installed Ubuntu on it and ran into a problem loading it in Desktop mode.
When I want to start into it normally, it gets to the home screen and does a quick frame skip, kind of like an old VHS tape, and then fails to load the toolbars on top and bottom.
Loading into safe mode works great, but no wireless option seems to be available in safe mode?
The normal boot even gets to the "Ubuntu!" welcome sound, but... then nothing. I looked up a few Linux keyboard shortcuts and none of them function. So.
Also did the updates in safe mode. Update Manager did NOTHING when I clicked "install updates" button, so I did it through the terminal sudo get-updates/upgrades.
I have an old compaq presario 2100 (amd athlon) laptop that came with windows xp. it can't deal with xp any more so i put mandriva on it and let my mother in law use it for card games. now it won't even boot mandriva.
it says something about a 1720 SMART error. i ran the hdd test and it gave me a code: 1# imminent failure.
it will run mandriva off the install disk but I want to make this as easy as possible for my mother in law to play her games. I don't think she'd like to deal with all the steps involved with running it off the install disk. the problem with that is that the install wizard runs every time i turn it on.
will i be able to do something to the effect that my mother in law will be able to easily boot up and play her card games on the laptop?
I followed the sticky about setting up wireless and I have come to an issue where the WLAN switch which is on this computer can be pressed, the light comes on, but no WLAN. When I looked in dmesg, this is what I get:
ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection firmware: requesting ipw2100-1.3.fw eth0: Radio is disabled by RF switch.
Notice it says that the 'Radio is disabled by switch' in dmesg. I can press that switch until the end of the world comes and it does absolutely nothing but make the WLAN light put on a light show. And it shows the wlan to be unassociated with any clients. So, what are my options to get this Wireless up and working?

Is anyone else having problems with HP LaserJets and Ubuntu 10.04? I have a HP LaserJet 3015 and am running a dual boot with Windows 7.
Printer is automatically detected and works fine on: Windows 7, Windows XP, LinuxMint, and older versions of Ubuntu.
But when I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, when I try to print it just adds the job to the print queue and it never prints. After awhile I get a message saying that Ubuntu is unable to communicate with my printer. (or something to that effect). I can't even print a test page.
I have tried installing HPLIP following the directions given, but get the same behavior (can't communicate with the printer). I have tried unplugging the power cord and usb cable and plugging them back in (as per the directions I am following). But still not communicating.
I'm converting my coworker to Linux (who loves it) and I've gotten everything working but this %$#@ printer! I've tried the various solutions posted on these forums (over the past 4 or 5 years). But none of them seem to work.Has anyone solved this problem with Lucid (10.04)? Are there some new steps that pertain to 10.04?
I've just received my hp laserjet pro m1212nf printer / fax /scanner device. It's installed as a Ethernet printer. First I had troubles with the printer. I could solve it by running
Code: $ sudo hp-plugin and then reinstalling the printer from the HP Device manager utility. During the installation the tool also told me: Code: Unable to locate the HPLIP Fax PPD file: HP-Fax3-hpcups.ppd.gz Fax setup has been disabled.
My LaserJet is connected to an old desktop machine that has it shared. The configuration on that desktop is correct, since I have been printing through it from other Windows machines for a long time (and it still works now).
I recently started dual-booting Ubuntu 10.10 on my otherwise Windows laptop, and I've gotten everything basically working how I like it, except that I can't get connected to that printer.
The Vista machine is at IP address 192.168.0.103, and the printer is shared as LaserJet. It's set up with workgroup MSHOME.
When I go to add a printer in Ubuntu, I click the Browse button under "SMB Printer," and I see the MSHOME workgroup, but when I try to expand it, there's nothing inside.
If I try to type in the address directly (smb://192.168.0.103/LaserJet), the Verify button tells me "Print Share Inaccessible, Connection timed out." Note that I can ping 192.168.0.103 fine. I can continue through the rest of the wizard, but I obviously can't print anything out after I finish the setup, since the connection is failing for some reason.
There is no username or password required to see the shared printer.
Any idea what could be going on here? I'm kind of at wit's end here, and I'd love to be able to ditch Windows--with the obvious exception of Starcraft II, of course
We have workgroup network in the home and the printer "hp laserjet p1005" connected at the server (OS : windows server 2003) and I am connected to the Internet by the server without problems. But when I want to print any file, it remains in (processing) and no print. It's picture for this problem:
Under Fedora 12, the HP laserjet p2035 is supported. It appears under HP>Laserjet as a dirver option when setting up the printer. But all the HP driver options except two havedisiappeared under Fedora 13 (64 bit version).
I may be missing some package, but if so I don't know what. I didn't have to do anything special, I think, for Fedora 12.
Also, I can't set up the printer as a windows printer. I don't know if it is because none of the driver options work or because of something else. I often have problems setting up remote printing with a new release, so I expected this. But I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04, 32 bit, yesterday on my Dell Latitude 6500E and I am new to Linux. I can't find my HP LaserJet 3015 on my home network, even though it is connected to a new Windows 7, 64 bit PC thru USB. The other Windows PCs find it fine, and all 4 PCs can see each other on the network. So, I installed the HP software (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...all/index.html) and that went smoothly, but the printer is still invisible. I also added Samba and that works great like everything else. I plugged the printer in directly to my Ubuntu laptop's USB port and it printed instantly. Now, if I could just print to the LaserJet on the network. Anybody got this one figured out? Does Wine provide a way around this?
My printer is a HP laserjet 4 Plus. It used to work with the gutenprint drivers pretty much since always.I don't know when it broke, because I don't use it that often. I have tried with the generic postscript driver, with the gutenprint driver, with the j4dith driver and with the hplib driver. Basically, what happens is that all jobs never finish processing in the queue. On the other hand cups-pdf still works.
I have tried to download the latest version of CUPS but do not know how to install it properly using command line commands above 'sudo' and 'sh', and I have tried to install HPLIP but it needs 'cups-devel' installed apparently. My Debian can see the 1020 clearly enough to identify it and give its status as idle, via the CUPS interface. When I try and print a Test page it goes to the spooler, says it is printing OK, but nothing prints. The job then disappears and appears on CUPS as completed. In the old days we would have sent a eof() to make the printer work. Have I got a bug in my HP Laserjet 1020 driver? Or am I missing the great plug-in that is not on the Synaptic Package Manager The SPM says I have HPLIP installed.
I've searched these forums high and low, but I can't seem to find a way to fix it. I had a similar problem in F10, but that was fixed. The problem I'm having now is a little bit different. If I open the print que before I print something like a test page, and then start printing, an item with appear in the que for a second then disappears, and the printer will do nothing. I've run out of ideas on how to get it to work, I did try to apply the original fix for my first problem since it seemed that the drivers for the Printer that were available via HP weren't quite right, but that didn't work. I tried to run -c 'yum install foo2zjs' and that didn't do anything either.
I have a hp officejet on my fedora 13 pc. I tried to configure it as a network printer. I disabled selinux and then i opend the door in the firewall.. the printer is seen in the network but when I try to print from a client it says "printer description not available" . I disabled then firewall both on server and on client. then rebooted both. but no luck. the printer is available on the network but it prints only from the server.
I am running F15 Beta i686 (Gnome3) Desktop on a dual-core, 4 Mb DDR2 system. I already installed hplip and hpijs drivers and connected HP LaserJet 5MP printer to the parallel port of my PC. Set up was by running "system-config-printer", adding device URI=parallel:/dev/lp0, and selecting approriate driver (CUPS+Gutenprint (en) for the printer. However, when I chose to print a test page, nothing came out and the printer window says the printer is not connected. This is even though I can print from Fedora14 installed on the same PC.
I am having problem printing some urgent documents. My fc14 machine cannot seem to see the printer. I remember on an earlier version it was a breeze ...I connected the printer and immediately the machine recognized it.I spent 2 hours trying to install hplip-gui.i686 0:3.11.5-1.fc14 successfully but yet the machine cannot see the printer.---------- Post added 3rd June 2011 at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was 2nd June 2011 at 11:59 PM ----------
Then I found the printer and add it. But the problem is when I tried to try to print a test page, it shows "job1 submitted".....that's all. No page gets printed. If I try once more, it shows "job2 submitted" but again no results. I cant also see all the submitted jobs.
I have installed fedora 12 in my system. And I want to install hp laserjet 1015 printer in my system. or want to share the printer to give the all access printer permission.
