Installation TroubleshootingIssue 1: 'hp-makeuri' fails to find my network printer Solution:
$ hp-makeuri <ip-address> For example: $ hp-makeuri 192.168.1.1
hp:/net/Officejet_9100_series?ip=192.168.1.1
http://localhost:631 (or YasT, etc) and install the printer by pasting the generated URI. Issue 2: There is no listing in CUPS or my printer installation tool for the exact model number of my printer. Solution:
Issue 3: I've plugged in my USB printer, but it doesn't show up in the CUPS interface. Solution: Restart CUPS. There are two basic methods: (Note: You must be root to execute these commands) # /etc/init.d/cupsd restart or: # killall -HUP cupsd Issue 4: I can 'ping' my network printer but 'hp-makeuri' won't generate a device URI for it. Solution:
Issue 5: I am sharing a printer from another Linux machine using CUPS and I am unable to print to it. Solution: This configuration is currently unsupported in HPLIP. To print in this configuration, use HPIJS only. Issue 6: I am sharing a printer from a Windows machine and I am unable to print to it. Solution: This configuration is unsupported currently in HPLIP. To print in this configuration, use HPIJS only and the SAMBA backend (smb:) Issue 7: I am trying to setup my printer in SUSE using CUPS and am having problems. Solution: To install on SUSE, unless you have created a CUPS admin, you must use YaST. Otherwise, printer setup using CUPS will fail. Follow the YaST instructions in the Installation Instructions section. Last update: Thu Mar 16 17:21:05 2006 |
