[hpoj-devel] HP OfficeJet 635 - Does HPOJ provide a GUI

[David W. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I have searched Google and the list for answers to my questions but
can't seem to find them, sorry if these have already been asked and
answered.

I am wandering if the HPOJ software provides a GUI of some sort.  I
have the OfficeJet 635 at home, and at the moment it is running off a
Dlink Router that has a parellel port so it is shared around the
house.  This only allows you to print, but I want to be able to
configure the printer for recieving faxes (i.e the number of rings to
wait etc) and thought maybe this project and my linux box will help me
do this.

I am also hoping that I would be able to see on the linux box the
faxes I couldn't print (no paper, ink etc), but I think from the
support matrix, this isn't supported.  Can someone also confirm this.

Many thanks,
Dave - the relative linux noob!

Does the hplip GUI provide the ability to configure the number of
rings for the fax machine, and the fax machine name etc?

Also, are there any screenshots anywhere?  I have searched
the web but can't find them.

Many thanks,
Dave

HPOJ doesn't support fax, and since its development is stopped, it never 
will.

HPLIP supports a toolbox GUI called the HP Device Manager.

HPLIP does not yet support fax.

[David W. <dav...@gm...>]

Sorry to ask this again...

I know there is no send/recieve fax support, but I would like to know
if I can configure the number of rings and the ring type etc for the
fax component of the 635 (like there currently is the Windows util).

Also, are there any screen-shots anywhere?

Regards,
Dave

I have a slightly different, but related, question to the one below.

Is there any place where I can get documentation (or just information)
on the breakout of the various parameters ("Set-Up", I believe it was
called) on an HP OJ 7130 that are accessed via the front panel special
keys in some combination (i.e. * and #, I forget the exact sequence)?

I recently had to contact tech support to resolve an issue of erroneous
pickup when the unit was set to auto-answer, and they stepped me through
a sequence that allowed for setting a variety of numbered parameters that
controlled, for example, fax eavesdropping.  After setting them, I asked
the rep where I could find such information, and of course the answer
was "you can't have them - you could mess up your device with them."

Whatever.  Anyway, I would just like to have a reference guide of some
sort - no different, IMO, than having a full listing of AT commands and
parameters for a modem.

Any pointers to such information, or an authoritative answer of "you can
never know those", would be helpful.

(I'd like the whole enchilada, not just those devoted to fax support.
I'm just using the fax parameters as an example).

thx!

<snipped>

If you do remember the exact means of accessing service menus, please *don't* 
publish it. I haven't worked for HP, but I did have access to a similar 
service system.  I was asked not to divulge it, and I don't plan to. When I 
viewed the settings that could be changed, I could see that although some 
options could be useful if they could be easily changed, some of them looked 
like they could really foul up the device, rendering it unusable, and 
necessitating a lengthy call to tech support, which probably would have to 
refer the problem to some higher tier.  Obviously (to me) it could be a very 
expensive mistake for a technology company to give untrained users easy 
access to settings that are meant only for factory setup or by trained 
technicians in a repair facility.

In many locations, there will be curious kids (and others) who want to know 
how everything works, and love to push buttons.  I'm pretty sure that a great 
many printers would be repeatedly (sometimes deliberately) fouled up once 
this kind of info were made public.  The cost of the resulting tech support 
calls and eventual lost sales would be passed on to customers.  I don't think 
we want that.

My Bad!  The OfficeJet635 uses hpij, which does not seem to have *any*
gui.  At least, I can't find it anywhere after compiling and
installing.  It seems that having the printer plugged into my linux
server with hpij provides little (or no benifit) to having it plugged
into my Dlink router.

Not knocking this project, I love your work and ay use it with a
different printer in the future, but for me, the Dlink wins out for
ease of use/configuration.

Many thanks for your help anyway.

Dave
