 Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2010 8:25 pm Post subject: hplip network printer setup **SOLVED** |
 |
|
Hi, I'm having trouble setting up a new netowrk printer with hplip. CUPS installed the printer easily, and actually printed a test page. HPLIP, however, does not see the network printer. It is an HP Officejet 6500 wireless pall in one, connected to the router via wireless connection. Windows installed it fine, but am having trouble getting hplip to recognize. I know that I will probably kick myself once I get this up and going, however, I can't for the life of me understand why cups will recognize, but hplip won't.
HPLIP is emerged with the following USE flags:
| Code: |
net-print/hplip-3.10.9 USE="X fax hpcups libnotify policykit qt4 scanner static-ppds -doc -hpijs -kde -minimal -parport -snmp -udev-acl
|
I would hope that this is a simple USE flag issue, however, I am not sure what to enable.
Thanks
Todd

1/ Did you install your printer via the hp-setup utility (recommended)
2/ Did you run the hp-check utility ? What does it tell ? |

actually, yes, I did, and it does not find any printers.

Actually, it has been so long since I had any problems with hplip, so I forgot all about the hp-check utility. The output is as follows:
| Code: |
# hp-check
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.10.9)
Dependency/Version Check Utility ver. 14.3
Copyright (c) 2001-9 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP
This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.
Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Initializing. Please wait...

not sure, exactly what is meant by the statement that printers must use the hp: or hpfax: CUPS backend to function in HPLIP. The printer I replaced was working fine with HPLIP, however, it was a usb printer.
Thanks

Can you post the "Connection" under which cups attaches your printer.
(Under the printer tab, click on the link naming your printer) |

Yes, well, I clicked on it, and this is what came up:
| Code: |

Then I suggest you try
| Code: | | hp-setup -i 192.168.11.5 |
If no argument is given to hp-setup, only USB and // ports are scanned for devices. |

WE HAVE SUCCESS!!!! I really appreciate your help with this, the command you gave me didn't work, but it led me to the discover of the need of the "snmp" USE flag for HPLIP, set the USE flag, re-emerged, and everything works!
Thank you so much for your input, it has helped me tremendously!!
