[hpoj-devel] HPG85 scan over jetdirect printserver 500X

[Michael S. <M.S...@we...>]

Hi mailing list,

do need some help as I got stuck and don't find a workaround.

Using Suse 9.0, I have set up a HP500X printserver to share resources
between a XP and linux box.

Printing (cups) works fine, no concern.

Scanning doesn't work at all. Scanner got recognised and set up using
ptal-init setup. But when trying to scan, sane, scanimage or other
application do not find the scanner.

I have run scanimage in a debug mode and got following output messages:
=========

Hi
	Hope someone can shed some light on this problem. I have a Offiject G95
using 170x jetdirect. I have ran ptal-init setup and created
hpjd:192.168.1.100 configuration in /etc/ptal. However when I run
service hpoj start nothing happens. I am running Redhat 9 with kernel
2.4.20-30.9 and hpoj 0.90.17. When I start xsane it can't find the device.

Cheers,

[hpoj-devel] HP officeJet 6110 Network sharing

[Charles Garcia-T. <ch...@ga...>]

 Hi there

        I've an officeJet 6110 on my Suse9.0 box and it works fine. 
My problem is sharing it out to some WindowsXP clients on my network. 
When I install the network printer on a windows machine, I am not offered
an officeJet 6110 driver. Even if you do a "Have Disk" you'd be hard pressed
to find a driver on the HP CD that came with the printer, or indeed
download on from their site.  I got in touch with HP who eventually pointed
me to support page detailling equivalent drivers for Office Jets. This
suggested telling windows that the driver is a DeskJet 690C. But when I do
this the printer does not print at all. In fact the only windows driver I
can use that will run the printer is a straight OfficeJet but then I am
stuck without colour support. So in short how do you get the bugger to work
with colour over a network share where the server is  a linux box? Help
would really be appretiated

        Cheers

        Charles

You do not only need HPOJ 0.91 but also HPIJS 1.5. After installing 
HPIJS 1.5 and restarting CUPS, your printer will be listed by all 
printer setup tools.

Hello:
Running Fedora Core 1
I ran the make install and everything went fine.
I rebooted and the system found my printer.
I logged into X windows and tried to install the driver but there is no HP 4110
Listed.

Now what do I do?

Thank you

Re: [hpoj-devel] Adaptation ofHPOJ to kernel 2.6.x

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

My patch is only to take care of the new kernel module name "usblp" 
without breaking compatibility to the old 2.4.x kernels with "printer". 
There is no fix for any kernel/libusb/HPOJ incompatibilities. These 
still need to be fixed by someone.

P. S.: My PSC 950 works with kernel 2.6.x.

[robertohw <rob...@uo...>]

(PLEASE HELP!!!!)

Oi,

Finally, someone to save the day! (or
so I thought...)

Ok, this is what happens (PSC1210):
-> Kernel 2.4.18 : NO printer/ NO scanner
(could not connect while running
'ptal-init setup')

-> Kernel 2.6.0  : NO printer/ scanner OK
(ptal-print fails)

So, I downloaded you patch for 2.6.0
and patched hpoj-0.91 source using

$ bunzip2 -dc
hpoj-0.91-kernel26.patch.bz2 | patch -p0

(is that it?????????????????)
and did:

$ make clean
$ make distclean
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

that's when the funky stuff started:

1) after make install i got a 'nothing
to be done for all' message on every
folder 'make' ran... Is that
right???????????????????????
2) ran

$ ptal-init setup

still no printer:
$ ptal-print
ptal-print: connecting to device
"mlc:usb:psc_1200_series"...  failed!

Tchau,

Thanks a lot for ANY response on this.
It's been a month or so that I have a
PSC stopped here, just waiting!

     Either I misunderstand you or else you misunderstand the
directions.  Running tar should create a directory hpoj-0.91/ and one of
the files in that directory is an executable file (not a subdirectory)
configure .  I checked this:

$ tar tzf hpoj-0.91.tgz | grep configure
hpoj-0.91/configure
hpoj-0.91/configure.in

(Note that "tar t" produces a list of files in the archive, without
unpacking it.)  The recommended procedure is roughly

$ tar xvfz hpoj-0.91.tgz
$ cd hpoj-0.91
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make test
$ su
# make install
# exit
$

Read the file hpoj-0.91/README, which will point you to further
directions in the doc/ subdirectory.

I also have this problem, but I have version 0.1.7 of libusb. I have tried the
patch mentioned in an earlier message, it didn't seem to help. I get the
following errors when trying to probe for USB printers:

And then this message:

Am I doing something wrong? It worked fine under 2.4. Everything has been

Never mind, the fresh build of sane fixed it.  I know better, when it doubt, 
build it from scratch.  Sorry for the unnecessary post.  While I'm at it 
though, thanks for all the effort on the hpoj project.  The psc 2410 basic 
features work flawlessly under Linux (great print and scan quality), and good 
support/performance for hp multi-functions under Linux was the main reason I 
bought it. 

Thanks again,

[hpoj-devel] PSC 2410 prints great, scanner not found..........

[Aaron K. <ak...@po...>]

Summary: HP PSC 2410 usb multi-function, RedHat 9, hpoj 0.91 from scratch (not 
rpm), hpijs 1.5 from scratch (not rpm), printing works flawlessly, scanner 
not detected with scanimage -L. 

Well, I think I've covered the basics, and hunted through newsgroups and 
(some) mailing list archives, so here's the problem.  I have a PSC 2410, and 
had it set up on a RedHat 7.3/Windows ME (of all things) dual boot.  Worked 
fine under Windows, and after building and installing hpoj and hpijs, and 
updating ghostscript, it worked flawlessly under Linux as well -- printing 
and scanning.  Tears of joy were wept. 
I then reinstalled both OS's from scratch, setting up a completely new (no 
upgrades) RedHat 9/Windows 2000 dual boot.  (I have yet to set up the 
multi-function under Windows, wanting to first get it set up under Linux.)  
Sane rpms were then updated by an automated update program to frontends 
1.0.9-2, backends/backends-devel 1.0.9-5.1.  I removed the included hpijs rpm 
and built and installed hpoj (0.91) and hpijs (1.5) from scratch.  I followed 
the same setup steps (following the hpoj docs) as I did before, everything 
responded as before, and printing once again works flawlessly using cups.  I 
then went on to the steps I took for scanning (which were basically just 
following the steps in the hpoj docs scanning section).  The scanner is not 
detected using scanimage -L, whereas it was before.  I then started going 
through the troubleshooting steps, some important parts of which are 
summarized below. 

Connectivity troubleshooting 
-----------------------------------------
a) The original ptal-init setup process worked fine, establishing one device 
named mlc:usb:psc_2400_series which gets used by default without a problem. 

b) Restarting the driver (ptal-stop, ptal-start) shows no noticeable errors, 
and printing is still fine after doing so. 

c) ptal-devid, ptal-print < /dev/null, ptal-hp device, ptal-hp clock, and 
ptal-hp display all behave nicely (ptal-hp display shows blank, but did so 
when scanning used to work as well). 

--> d) ptal-connect -service ECHO fails, even when specifying the device name.  
I can't remember if this worked successfully back when scanning was working 
under 7.3, so I don't know if this should be working for the PSC2410 or not.  
If it should, then this is the only troubleshooting step I came across which 
failed. 

e) scanner.o is not loaded. 


Scanning troubleshooting 
------------------------------------
a) I did not run ptal-connect -scan or sane-find-scanner before scanimage -L, 
and have tried restarting the ptal driver, turning off the printer, and 
rebooting multiple times with no change in the lack of scanner detection. 

b) /etc/sane.d/dll.conf has an uncommented hpoj line at the end of it.  The 
hpoj line was added by the hpoj installation process, and doesn't contain any 
traling text or comments on the line.  I also commented out the hp line just 
to be careful. 

c) /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpoj.so.1 exists, and is a symlink as follows.......
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpoj.so.1-->/usr/local/lib/libsane-hpoj.so-->/usr/local/lib/libsane-hpoj.so.1.0 
/usr/local/lib/libsane-hpoj.so.1.0 exists, is owned by root:root, and has 755 
permissions.  These symlinks and files were (presumably) installed by the 
hpoj installation process (checked the timestamps). 

d) Specifying the device name, as in scanimage -d hpoj:mlc:usb:psc_2400_series 
--test results in 
scanimage: open of device hpoj:mlc:usb:psc_2400_series failed: Invalid 
argument

e) Though I didn't do so before scanimage -L, I did run both ptal-connect 
-scan and sane-find-scanner later on.  The former seemed to respond fine, and 
the latter, interestingly, found some form of usb scanner.  The outputs 
were........

ptal-connect -scan 

ptal-connect: connecting to device "mlc:usb:psc_2400_series"...  successful.
(various scanner noises, then hangs, presumably waiting for input) 

sane-find-scanner 

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure 
that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [hp], product=0x3611 [psc 2400 series]) at 
libusb:002:002
  # A USB device was detected. This program can't be sure if it's really
  # a scanner. If it is your scanner, it may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't 
be
  # detected by this program.

So that's it, everything seems to be working fine (other than perhaps 
ptal-connect -service ECHO......), and the sane backend stuff seems to be set 
up as it should be, it just doesn't detect the scanner.  I think I covered 
the usual bases, so let me know if you have any ideas.  I'm off to remove the 
sane rpms and install it from scratch. 

Thanks,

Is there a fixed for this.. Our printer is HP1100a

Thanks

Re: [hpoj-devel] Printing from Windows

[Cory M. <Cor...@hp...>]

The easiest way is to download the drivers locally from the web. Then
when you are prompted for the driver, choose "have disk" and point to
the folder with the driver installed... That will also give you the most
functionality.

Re: [hpoj-devel] SuSE 9.0/Officejet 0.91/SMP/USB HPGX85

[Cory M. <Cor...@hp...>]

Using YaST be sure that CUPS and HPOJ are setup up to start on runlevels
3 and 5. Then, use the web interface http://localhost:631 to setup your
device.

[hpoj-devel] Printing from Windows

[Jake N. <jn...@bu...>]

Hi,
	I've been researching this for a while now, but I can't seem to get the 
windows drivers to install for a printer shared off a linux machine.  I 
compiled and installed hpijs version 1.5 and I use cups.  I also have 
samba.  My printer is an Officejet 4110

	With cups i can print a test page properly.  I can see the printer if i 
put in the linux machine's IP from windows, but then it asks me to 
choose a driver.  I cannot find a way to get the HP drivers to install 
for the remote printer.  (I would like to maintain as much 
functionallity of the printer as possible).  I've also tried to use 
samba by enabling cups sharing, but that also does not work as windows 
can not find the driver.

Any suggestions on how I can get the windows driver installed to use the 
cups shared 4110?

Thanks,
Jake Nelson

Re: [hpoj-devel] SuSE 9.0/Officejet 0.91/SMP/USB HPGX85

[Laurence K. <lr...@ea...>]

Dear Jerel Crosland:

	When you installed version .91 of hpoj, where did things end up?  Are 
ptal-init, ptal-mlcd, and ptal-printd all in /usr/sbin?  That is where SuSE 
expects to find them, along with ptal-cups and ptal-photod.

	Does SuSE say that CUPS will not run with an SMP kernel?  If it does run then 
you don't want to use YAST anyway to set up the printing, or so the hpoj 
documentation says.  I successfully set up my OfficeJet V40 to print and scan 
using the CUPS web interface.

	You might also want to check the archives, there used to be problems with 
hpoj and SMP kernels, but I thought that had been fixed.

[hpoj-devel] Tell me about scanners

[Eddie C. <ed...@ca...>]

Hello, everybody

	I just happened to bump into this website and this email link.   I wanted 
to speak to you about HP USB scanners.  I bought a scanjet 4600  just 2 
months ago.  There isn't a  linux driver , I can't use it on my Linux PC.  
I have written email, written regular letters, and even joined a SANE 
developer list.  HP straight out says they don't support Linux.  Now,  I 
see this website saying  HP is trying to support a linux driver for  the 
OfficeJet.  

Well, Why won't they support/create  a linux driver for USB scanners ?
  HP makes $80 million a yr,  why can't they hire a couple of linux 
programmers and  create a working linux driver for scanners?   It's very 
frustrating to read articles and ads in magazines where HP brags about  
supporting linux, but then having them tell me straight out that they DON'T 
support linux.  Right after I spent my hard-earned money on one of their 
scanners.

[hpoj-devel] Adaptation ofHPOJ to kernel 2.6.x

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

Oi,

kernel 2.6.x has the module "usblp" for USB printers and not "printer" 
any more. To make the "ptal-init" script compatible to both 2.4.x and 
2.6.x kernels I have made a patch. You can get it on
