[hpoj-devel] Getting the HP 4215xi to work

[Barsalou <ba...@at...>]

This seems like pretty straight forward stuff and I believe I am running
the latest hpijs.

I can ptal-print, ptal-connect -service ECHO.  The log messages indicate
that the printer exists.  Cups seems to think it prints the stuff.

But absolutely nothing comes out?  Shouldn't I be able to just send a
job right to the printer by using the ptal-print command?

What other steps can I take to figure out why this is not printing?

[hpoj-devel] Getting the HP 4215xi to work

[Barsalou <ba...@at...>]

I got this working finally.  I'm not really sure what did it, but I
think it is because I used the redhat-config-printer-gui tool.  It
didn't seem to like using the cups only method.

I did have to reboot to make it work, but I think it was because of the
upgrading of libusb, and other items.

I am using FC1 with the rawhide rpm for hpoj.  Here is a list a relevant
rpms that I had downloaded to make it work:

cups-1.1.19-13
hpoj-0.91-7
hpijs_1.5-4.2
ghostscript_7.07-15.2
foomatic_3.0.0-21.3
usbutils_0.11-2.1
usbview_1.0-10
libusb-devel_0.1.7-3
libusb_0.1.7-3

I was using apt-get so if there were any dependecies, they were
installed as well

I fooled around a bit before rebooting, but after rebooting, I went
through the instructions once more and everything worked.

I did use the redhat-config-printer tool to create the printer.  I
choose the HP 4115 and all the settings that the instructions say to
use. 

Hope this helps someone else.
