[hpoj-devel] Draft printing with PSC 1410

[Mauricio de A. R. <mau...@te...>]

Hi all,

I am using Mandriva Linux 2006 (kernel 2.6.12-12mdk) and drivers/support
packages hplib_model_data-0.9.4-6mdk, hpoj-0.91-8mdk,
hplib_hpijs-0.9.4-6mdk. When printing docs in Normal mode (color ink)
everything goes ok. When changing it to a draft quality (gray scale) the
printing is so weak that it is impossible to read, like it has impressed
nothing. It does not matter if the color is changed back to Normal, it
continues 'not to print'. It is necessary to reboot the machine. Can you
help. Thanks in advance.

PS: The printer was bought last year but just this last 
days I have been able to put it to work. Could has any relation with 
this period without usingit?

Provided that the particular printer also works without
bidirectional communication.
I don't know if the OfficeJet G85 works even without
bidirectional communication.

This is an interesting question.

It should work with an original HP built-in network card for exactly
the particular model (something which HP sometimes calls "LIO")
if the model is listed as "Network(1): Yes" at
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/inkjet_aio.html
which reads:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Network support indicates built-in ethernet and/or wireless networking. 
Alternatively, many devices may be operated on the network using an
external JetDirect print server. Not all network configurations are
supported. Please refer to the HPLIP FAQs for more information. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
and
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/faqs.html
reads
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Does HPLIP support networked printers?
Answer: Yes, HPLIP supports printers that are directly network
connected (via a built-in Ethernet port) or connected to a network
via a JetDirect. Printers that are shared via a Windows share and
SAMBA are not supported (you can, however, print to devices shared
with SAMBA using CUPS, the smb: backend and HPIJS). Printers that
are shared via CUPS from another Linux PC on a network are supported
by HPIJS (but not HPLIP). Status information for printers shared in 
this way is not available. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
but I don't find an explicite statement regarding "scanning"
via built-in HP ethernet port or via HP JetDirect printserver box
or via any non-HP printserver box.

I don't know, if a USB-only HP all-in-one device would work
via any kind of external printserver box.

I would appreciate some info from HP regarding printers and
all-in-one devices with external non-JetDirect print server boxes
and some information which exact devices do not belong to the class
of "many devices may be operated on the network using an external
JetDirect print server".

Yes, and you will be able to use the bi-directional features via the
network, too.

That's what I thought, too. After all the print server should do nothing
more than directing everything it gets to the printer. However the US
Robotics support told me that the printer needs to support PCL5. All I
do is to print to http://192.168.1.1:1631/printers/hp via IPP. It would
probably require a firmware change in the router to make it working.

Correct. All bidirectional features won't work (although I see no strict
reason why they could not work if the firmware of the router would allow
traffic in both directions). However that's not a big problem since I
rarely use these features and if I need them I can always locally
connect a PC to the printer.

Another question: Assuming I had a JetDirect print server, could I just
connect it to the router via Ethernet cable and then print from the PCs
on the local network?

I do not know about a firmware update to PCL5 for any HP inkjet. Print
servers do not need such a thing AFAIK. If you have a printer driver
which makes the printer printing on USB, the same driver will make it
printing through a print server.

To make the extra functions of HPLIP (scanning, ink level check, ...)
working via an external print server, you will probably need an original
HP JetDirect box.

I upgraded to HPLIP. I was able to succesfully set up my printer if I
connect it by USB cable with my PC. Of course the problem I described
persists. If I understand correctly I somehow need to update the
firmware of the printer to make it PCL5 capable. Is this possible? And
if yes: how can it be done?

HPOJ is not supported any more by HP and by most distributions. Please
upgrade to HPLIP from your distro or from http://hpinkjet.sf.net/  If
your problem still persists after completely removing HPOJ and setting
up HPLIP, please post here.

[hpoj-devel] HP OfficeJet G85 and PLC5

[Jens L. <jen...@go...>]

Hi,

recently I bought a new WLAN router, which has an integrated printserver
(US Robotics USR029108). The printserver simply does not work although
everything else is normal, i.e. no error messages or strange behaviour.
After some discussions with the US Robotics support they suppose that
the problem is that the printer (a HP OfficeJet G85) only supports PLC3,
but the printserver needs support for PLC5. Is there anything I can do
about that, i.e. are there any updates for the printer? Or is there any
other solution?

I'd be glad to get some help, because I didn't actually find a lot of
useful information about this topic, so I thought it might be a good
idea to ask the experts. :-)

Currently I use hpoj 0.91 on Debian 3.1 and have no printing problems
except the one described above. (I know that there is hplip, but as long
as the printserver does not work I still use the parallel port.)

hpoj is no longer being maintained, though there are some patches that can be 
extracted from the fc4 hpoj SRPM that you may be able to use. 

It would be better to use hplip instead, if you can. An RPM exists for fc4 
which works, but I had trouble with hpssd.py crashing until I partially 
disabled selinux. 

]# su (give root password)
]# yum install hplip 

If hpssd crashes, edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux
and change:
#SELINUX=Enforcing
SELINUX=Permissive

I would prefer to have selinux fully enabled. Hopefully the problem will get 
fixed.

This list doesn't see much traffic nowadays. The hplip forums may be more 
helpful.

[hpoj-devel] PSC 1410

[Alien <ali...@us...>]

I have this model, and i've experienced that when scanning something, I see 
some white artifacts and the detail isn't great at all.

furthermore, i seem only to be able to scan until 600dpi , while i was under 
the impression that this model was able to scan at 2400dpi.

i have scanned stuff, but i cannot add it as attachment, since the mail would 
be too large...

do you have any idea how to improve the image?

maybe some extra parameters in the config files?

[hpoj-devel] Partial print problems

[P.Saffrey <uc...@uc...>]

I am running hpoj 0.91-9 with hpijs 2.1.7 on a Cups server on Debian
Sarge. I'm finding the printing to be unreliable at best. At the moment,
I'm trying to print a postscript reduction of a powerpoint presentation. I
managed to get the first 6 pages to print with an lpr command. Then it
printed a page with a few lines of garbage at the top and then a lot of
blank pages.

I've tried printing pdf and ps forms of this document with no more
success.  I've tried using ptal-print directly from the machine on which
the printer is running and it prints the first page followed by the page
with the lines of garbage and then blank pages. I can't find any error log
in the cups logs files and I can't find any hpoj log files at all - are
there any?

Could this be something wrong with the file itself? Any suggestions, in
that case?

Any help gratefully received,

Peter

I think it should be part of PyQt, but that is supposed to be installed.
it used to work fine up to a couple of weeks ago

ANY hints would be useful

TIA

Yes, assumptions 1-3 are correct. Also with "--disable-network-build"
libnetsnmp is no longer required at configure/compile time.

[hpoj-devel] What does --disable-network-build exactly mean?

[Johannes M. <js...@su...>]

Hello,

if HPLIP is compiled with "--disable-network-build",
there is no longer "network support".

But what exactly does this mean?

I assume the following:

1.
No CUPS DeviceURI like "hp:/net/..." will work,
but network printers can still be used with HPIJS
via the generic CUPS backends "socket" and/or "lpd".

2.
No SANE device ID like "hpaio:/net/..." will work,
therefore there is no network scanner support at all.

3.
No device status and no device maintenance via hp-toolbox
neither for network printers nor for network scanners.

Is this list complete or did I miss something?


Kind Regards,

[hpoj-devel] Re: [hpoj-devel]psc1315 can't print from gimp

[bruce <bb...@co...>]

Using kubuntu, my psc-1315 will scan with gimp and print text from other  
applications, but it won't print from gimp.  Setup seems to not go 
right.

In gimp printer setup, printer name is psc1315, but printer model always 
says "Postscript Level 2."  When I click on "setup printer' I have a 
choice of many HP printers, but none are psc, just deskjet and 
lazerjet.

If I browse and enter /etc/cups/ppd/hp1315.ppd where it asks for a ppd 
file, it never prints.

Any help appreciated,
bruce

That is exactly what developers should not do. They wrote a special filter =
not=20
to show all the files, and there is no way to do basic things. Silly.

On Windows XP. I can access the flashcard on the network.

On my Mandriva box, I can see it with "smb:/" in Konqueror, but cannot acce=
ss=20
inside because I am asked a password. Strange.

(On Windows Me, this device seems to be impossible to install !)

Thanks

Under Mandriva, click the "Devices" desktop icon, and look whether in
the windoe opening then will be a new icon for a USB storage device.
Click on it to access the files on the card in your printer's card
reader. This only works with the printer connected via USB to your local
machine.

Accessing the card via the hp-toolbox uses an HP-specific protocol and
not USB mass storage. It shows only pictures and is very slow, but it
works also when the device is connected via parallel port or ethernet.

AFAIR the PSC and PhotoSmart 2xxx support USB mass storage.

I cannot access it neither with "media:/" nor with "remote:/" in konqui.

I did not have the tools installed.
I have just made a completly new installation (Mandriva 2006 - december), a=

I have got the tools now, all working.

I can see the pictures in the card reader, but no other sort of file.

HI

I am using Ubuntu 5.10 which has HPLIP. My printing works fine, but when 
I scan with Xsane, the image is cropped to about 70%. Does anyone have 
any ideas?
