Introducing HPLIP
Hewlett-Packard is proud to announce the introduction of HP Linux
Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP). HPLIP is a complete single and
multi-function printing device connectivity solution for users of Linux
OS. The goal of this project is to provide =B4radically simple=A1 printing,
scanning, photo card access, and device management to the consumer and
business Linux user.
HPLIP brings new and improved benefits to the customer. Supported
features include capabilities such as:
* alignment and cleaning of cartridges and basic supply status
=20
* flatbed and Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) scanning via SANE
applications (e.g., XSane)
=20
* CUPS backend called =B4hp=A1 that supports bidirectional printing
connectivity for USB and network =20
=20
* application for downloading photos from photo card slots
=20
* improved installation experience for multi-function device
customers
=20
HPLIP provides support for over 300 HP printer models including:
Deskjet, Business Inkjet, Photosmart, Business Inkjet, PSC, Officejet,
Mono/Color LaserJet, and LaserJet Multifunction Peripheral (MFP).=20

A-ha!!! This is more like it! The instructions page looks awsome. Has anyone tested this with PSC1210? The thing is mine is actually not here with me anymore, I lent it to someone who uses windoze. So if this works (preferably on debian+kernel 2.6.9+udev) I'll give it a shot. Thanks, Roberto.

I hope it can be implemented. 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...

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
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | sNN kNN]
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] .
-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
xml/errors.xml /home/msp/src/hpinkjet.sf.net/hplip-0.8.2/debian/hplip/usr/h=
ome/msp/src/hpinkjet.sf.net/hplip-0.8.2/debian/hplip/usr/hplip/data/xml/err=
ors.xml
error.png
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:

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. Mark |

Thank you for the patch, I have made an RPM for Mandrakelinux 10.1 now. Here are the packages for download: Downloads ========= Patch (adapted and bugfixed): http://www.linuxprinting.org/till/tmp/hplip_0.8.2-1.diff.bz2 Source RPM: http://www.linuxprinting.org/till/tmp/hplip-0.8.2-1mdk.src.rpm Bimary RPMs: http://www.linuxprinting.org/till/tmp/hplip-0.8.2-1mdk-i586-rpm.tar.bz2 Bugs ==== For Cory -------- Your DESTDIR support had some bugs, at the installation of files in to /etc the DESTDIR was missing, but at the insertion of the HPLIP paths into the config files you have inserted DESTDIR. DESTDIR should NOT be inserted into the config files or any other files which get installed, but every destination path where "make install" puts a file HAS to use DESTDIR. Also the installation of C libraries for Python should respect DESTDIR. ./setup.py install is wrong, it must be ./setup.py install --root=$(DESTDIR) (with $DESTDIR being "/" when the user does not supply it) in the Makefiles. C Library packages in distros are accompanied by a '-devel' package. For that the .h files with the API of the library have to be installed into /usr/include This is missing in HPLIP. SANE backends should go into ./usr/lib/sane and not into /usr/lib "make install" should not call chkconfig or similar tools to set up the links for the startup scripts, or it should be easy to turn this off by a command line setting, as in an RPM or Debian package "make install" is not run on the machine where the actual installation takes place. chkconfig is usua;;y called by the postinstall script of the package. This script is executed when one installs the package and not already when one build the package. "make install" does not stop when an error occurs, for example the "Permission denied" due to the missing DESTDIR support at the library installation for Python. Cory, see also the incompatibility with Mandrakelinux Cooker below. For Mark -------- The patch on your home page adds all machine-generated files as logs and so on to the package. It has more than 50000 (!) lines. The relevant part are only the 130 lines which you are showing in your e-mail, but in the e-mail they are destroyed by e-mail-encoding. Probably the biggest part of your Debian package are these superflous lines. Your patch comments away the installation of pcardext.so, a C library for the python programs to access memory cards. So most probably your Debian package will not be able to read memory cards. Installation on Mandrakelinux 10.1 ================================== The downloadable packages are built on a Mandrakelinux 10.1 box and on 10.1 they work without problems. Some remarks: - Mandrakelinux 10.1 includes compatible versions of all required packages and libraries. Installing packages with "urpmi" installs the needed packages automatically. - Do not install HPLIP if your device is ethernet-connected, as ethernet support is not fully implemented yet, stay with HPOJ (at least on production machines). - Remove HPOJ and change the URIs of the appropriate print queues by the "hp:/..." URIs of HPLIP (for example with "lpadmin -p <queue> -v hp:/..."). You get the URIs with HPLIP installed, HPOJ uninstalled, device connected and turned on, CUPS restarted and "lpinfo -v". "urpme libptal" removes HPOJ completely. - foomatic-rip is not included in the RPM. Have the 'foomatic-filters" package of the distro installed. - "hplip-hpijs" conflicts with "printer-filters" (file /usr/lib/hpijs). Uninstall "printer-filters" or install "hplip-hpijs" with "rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force hplip-hpijs*.rpm". There are no other conflicts. - Under no circumstances run "printerdrake" or the printing part of the Mandrakelinux Control Center, as this way HPOJ gets installed and configured automatically and then HPLIP cannot access your printers any more. HPLIP support will be added to printerdrake later, but before release of Mandrakelinux 10.2. Other RPM-based Linux distributions =================================== You will most probably have to "rpm --rebuild" the source RPM package. Incompatibility with Mandrakelinux Cooker ========================================= Mandrakelinux 10.1 has Python 2.3.4 and PyQt 3.12. There HPLIP works completely, independent whether one installs via RPM or directly from source. Mandrakelinux Cooker already advanced to Python 2.4 and PyQt 3.13. Here all except the Python GUIs works: Printing via applications, command line, XPP, kprinter, scanning via xsane, photo card access via the text mode tool /usr/share/hplip/photo. The toolbox and all the other GUI tools of HPLIP do not work. For me this seems to be an incompatibility either of HPLIP with PyQt 3.13 or of PyQt 3.13 with Python 2.4. Python 2.4 seems to be compatible with HPLIP, as the daemons and text mode tools work. This incompatibility is independent of whether one installs via RPM (RPMs built on Cooker box, you can "rpm --rebuild" the downloadable source RPM for testing) or directly from source.

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?

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")?

Yes, I tried to do all of the install in the order specified. Just now I
deleted the printers and repeated from killall -HUP cupsd and still get the
same result.
It doesn't ask for name or root password and the device dropdown list doesn't
have this printer -- just "hp_no_device_found."
Does PyQt have anything to do with this stage of operation or is it just for
the gui printer setup?

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/

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.

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).

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
network socket
direct hp:/usb/psc_1200_series?serial=CN42QG301Y5H
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct parallel:/dev/lp0
direct ptal
direct scsi
serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
[.....]
serial serial:/dev/ttyS31?baud=115200
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?

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.

Another Success! Still can't print from gimp. In gimp, the printer setup lists a bunch of hp deskjet, hp designjet, and hp laserjet models, but no hp psc models. One other choice is postscript level 1 and level 2, but nothing I have tried makes the printer move at all. bruce |

As the current HPs are not really supported by Gimp-Print, they are not
listed. Choose PostScript Level 2 and remove the "-oraw" from the
printing command, then the GIMP plug-in generates PostScript leave the
rest to the print queue. And there HPIJS does its job.

One thing I noticed -- when I print on the other computer with a canon printer, it takes a few seconds for the blue activity line to get across; indicating that is is finishing its processing and sending it to the printer. With this setup, the blue activity line goes across very fast like it's not doing much processing. Maybe the difference is usb being faster than parallel. bruce |
