Re: [Hplip-help] hp-setup for network attached Officejet 7310

Allan,

also according to this:

http://sysadminforum.com/showthread.php?t=1552050

>From your hp-check you are missing several required dependencies:

For networking to work this one must be working, which would explain why
HPLIP can't use your network printer.

Checking for dependency libnetsnmp-devel - SNMP networking library
development files...
error: Not found!
error: This is a REQUIRED dependency. Please make sure that this dependency
is installed before installing or running HPLIP.

Then on your installed printers:

lj
--
Device URI: hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1200?serial\0CNCY161548
Installed in HPLIP? Yes
PPD: /etc/cups/ppd/lj.ppd
PPD Description: HP LaserJet 1200 Postscript (recommended)
Printer status: printer lj is idle. enabled since Tue Jun 19 20:58:48 2007

The Device URI is incorrect.  It should look like:
hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1200?serial=0CNCY161548
The \ should be a =.

You may want to refer to this doc: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HPLIP for more
assistance.  Really when it comes to Gentoo because of Gentoo complications
and the many ways it can be customized we don't support installing HPLIP on
it. However it should work, and many Gentoo users have reported success in
getting it to work.

Hope this helps.
