For scanning: Check whether you have a line only containing "hpaio" in 
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf. If not, add this line and you should be able to scan.

Till,
I couldn't find any way to uninstall hpoj, so I deleted two big directories 
named hpoj and rebooted.  Then lpinfo-v gives:
root@betty docs]# /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v

direct usb://Unknown?serial=CN42QG301Y5H
direct usb:/dev/usb/lp1
      [......]
 
The localhost:631/device menu listed the psc1210 with its serial number and 
all seemed to work up to "print test page," which gave "can't connect."  
However, I was able to print using the printer icon in Kate and kmail  
HOORAY!!  : ^ )
Many thanks for the help.

Cannot print a picture from gimp and have lost ability to scan from gimp.  Any 
ideas on these problems?

Re: [hpoj-devel] Difficulty with PSC 1210

[Till K. <til...@gm...>]

Somehow one needs to get rid of this HPOJ virus.

So the best perhaps is to proceed as follows:

- Uninstall HPOJ completely
- Reboot
- While rebooting, turn off and turn on your printer when the computer 
is in its BIOS self-checks.

Run "lpinfo -v" again when the computer has rebooted. Does it still show 
"direct hp:/no_device_found"? If so, check whether

- the device appears in /proc/bus/usb/devices (should be).

- "printer" or "usblp" kernel module is loaded.

- the daemons of HPLIP are running (processes hpiod and hpssd).

The first command line, I had to use the one in parentheses:

Re: [hpoj-devel] Difficulty with PSC 1210

[Till K. <til...@gm...>]

You have

direct ptal:/mlc:usb:psc1200

in your "lpinfo -v" output. This means that the old HPOJ is still 
running. You must stop HPOJ, otherwise HPLIP will not see your device. 
So do (the commands in parentheses if the first commands do not work, 
all commands logged in as root):

chkconfig --del hpoj (or    mv /etc/ptal /etc/ptal.orig)
service hpoj stop (or    /etc/init.d/hpoj stop)

Then do

killall -HUP cupsd

and the device should get visible with "hp:/..." in the "lpinfo -v" 
output. And then you will be able to create the correct CUPS queue.

What is the output of "lpinfo -v" (you must be loggen in as root)?

Which program do you use to set up a print queue? Perhaps you should try
also the web interface on http://localhost:631/

After the installation of HPLIP, did you connect and turn on your device 
  and then, with the device connected and turned on, restart CUPS 
("killall -HUP cupsd" or "service cups restart")?

[hpoj-devel] Difficulty with PSC 1210

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

The new hplip documentation and installation are very understandable and 
clear.  However I am having a problem with my PSC 1210.  Loading on a R/H 9.0 
machine using KDE.  
/proc/bus/usb/devices finds the printer and provides the serial number etc., 
but when I get to step 10 
  10. From the Device drop-down list, click hp:/usb/[printer name, serial
  number].
  For example, "hp:/usb/hp_deskjet_5600?serial=MY31R1K02179".

I don't see anything with printer name or serial number.  I see
    "hp_no_device_found"

I tried several of the devices with no luck.  Of course it won't print -- the 
cups print test page gives "cannot connect to server"  And lpr doesn't do 
anything and no error message.

Scanning with gimp works perfectly, but gimp won't print either.

yum installed version 3.5 of PyQt, so the hplip toolbox doesn't work.  
Installing version 3.8 runs into dependeency problems.

Can this work with R/H 9.0?

My USA-purchased Photosmart PSC 2610v is printing and scanning well under=20
Linux. I think this would be considered the same model.

The 2610v can be connected either of two ways: ethernet or USB, but not bot=
h=20
at the same time. It has an embedded Jet Direct device for direct network=20
printing. It also has an embedded web server which can be accessed for some=
=20
functions.

Connected through ethernet, printing and scanning work using hpoj. If you w=
ant=20
to set the printer up for ethernet connectivity, choose a static LAN IP=20
address for the printer though its panel, then configure the printer as a J=
et=20
Direct device with 'ptal-init setup' and CUPS.  When setting up a CUPS prin=
t=20
queue, if you don't see a list entry for the 2600 series, try choosing one=
=20
for the PSC 2500.

hplip (currently in development by the hpinkjet group) doesn't yet support=
=20
scanning over ethernet.

Connected through USB, eithor hpoj or hplip should work. I haven't yet trie=
d=20
to use the 2610 connected through USB, though.

[hpoj-devel] static building hpoj

[Bennett T. <be...@ra...>]

I've not yet gotten the hardware hooked up to see if this works, but
I've gotten an apparently successful completely static build of hpoj
with the attached patch. This is for Bent Linux.

Looks like the tweaks to Makefiles and whatnot for static linking
are almost completely done, I only had to twiddle a few bits to get
it to work.

Oh, and the -lbind -lm stuff is probably just because I'm building
on a uClibc-based distro.

[hpoj-devel] Preliminary Debian hplip packages availavle (was: Announce: hplip-0.8.2)

[Mark P. <ms...@de...>]

I have placed some preliminary Debian packages of hplip up on
http://people.debian.org/~msp

They are very rough around the edges, please use with caution, but also
provide any feedback through this forum.

[hpoj-devel] Sparc HPOJ support (was: Bug#239796: is this bug fixed?)

Hi bear,

No the issue for hpoj parallel support for sparc does not appear to be
resolved yet. But this also appears to be an upstream issue with the way hpoj
detects parallel support. Unfortunatly there isn't much upstream development
these days :-(

Earlier discussion on this issue is archived at http://bugs.debian.org/239796

On a side note you shouldn't need to use hpoj for connection of a laserjet as
hpoj is mainly concerned with the HP multi-function devices.  I would suggest
you have a look at http://linuxprinting.org.

Sorry,

That should be http://snapshot.debian.net

There you can find the deb apt.sources lines:

deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool hpoj
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool hpoj

Or you can download the packages directly yourself.

You can use `apt-get install hpoj=0.91-2` or you can download the indivual
packages and install with `dpkg -i hpoj.xxxx.deb`

This maywell be your best option.

Have a look at http://snapshot.debian.org.

As I doubt this is a Debian GNU/Linux problem, but rather a upstream hpoj
issue, I have forwarded your bug report there in the hope they can help. HP
haven't been supporting this product under linux much lately, but have a look
at http://hpoj.sf.net and try the support forum there.

Cory,

Thanks for this long awaited release.

A couple of issues from a Debian GNU/Linux perspective.

=2E When following the Debian Installation instructions to the letter the
update-rc.d command fails with the following:

[...]
update-rc.d: error: expected runlevel [0-9S] (did you forget "." ?)
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove

                -n: not really
                -f: force


=2E In trying to generate a Debian package for hplip (I'm currently the Deb=
ian
maintainer for hpoj) DESTDIR is not honoured for the following installation
candidates:

error: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cupsext.so: Permission denied
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644

ors.xml

error: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pcardext.so: Permission denied
/etc/hp/hplip.conf


My build-log is available at:
http://people.debian.org/~msp/hplip_0.8.2-1_i386.build

It also tends to place of lot of arch independant files under /usr/hplip, t=
his
would be better has /usr/share/hplip, but the use of $(datadir) rather than
$(prefix) in a number of places.

What we did with davidp in hpoj was split up the install target into a
user_install (for base files and applications) and root_install (for /etc/ &
init.d files). The Debian package called user_install (honouring DETSDIR) to
place the base files in the correct location, but didn't call root_install.
Instead using the debian/rules to place /etc & init.d files.  Could you look
at a similar scheme for hplip as it would greatly help package maintainers
and would be transparent to other users of the upstream source.

Some other suggestions I have are:

Could you also put a news entry on the hpoj.sf.net page?

It is relevant for the hpoj project, right? As I understand from this
announcement it will sooner or later obsolete the hpoj project, right?

	You can copy from the card but not to it. If you want to make it a r/w
system, you would need to mount the card as a USB mass storage device
but there was no easy way for us to do that at this time...

	Thanks for being understanding. This is my priority today to
investigate this issue. I would try the older packages and see if they
work for you. I would imagine that is where mine came from.

hplip looks very promising. I hope that before long, it will include better 
support for net-connected devices. For home use (printing from a wireless 
laptop, for example), it's very convenient to have the all-in-one accessible 
without having to turn on the computer it would otherwise depend on.

The docs should be more clear about what actually works/doesn't work yet, IMO.
When I tried to follow the documentation for setting up printing,
'probe -bnet' wouldn't work. Apparently the '-bnet' option is unsupported. I 
had to guess at the device string to enter in CUPS. After guessing that  
hp:/net/Photosmart_2600_series?ip=(printer's LAN address) might work, I tried 
it and it did.

I noticed that scanning over LAN is in the TODO list. I hope it will be added 
soon. When I try to start xsane, it can't find the PSC's scanner. Using hpoj, 
the scanner is accessible.

/usr/hplip/toolbox starts up and mostly works. It can't access the PSC's 
scanner, though.

'/etc/init.d/hplip start' returns 'OK' for hpiod and hpssd, but 'hplip status' 
returns an incorrect answer:

]# /etc/init.d/hplip status
hpiod (pid 5566) is running...
hpssd dead but pid file exists

But hpssd is actually running:
]# ps ax | grep hp
 5566 ?        S      0:00 ./hpiod
 5574 ?        S      0:00 python ./hpssd.py


Regarding photocard access, I don't see a way to copy JPEGs to the card over 
LAN. I hope it can be implemented.

Thanks for working on this, hpinkjet folks.
