proprietary plug-in not send after plugging printer

[Mindaugas B.]

I have HP LaserJet 1018 printer, witch requires proprietary plug-in.
Long time I succesfully used printer in openSUSE.
But now my printer not receive proprietary plug-in, when printed is attached
via USB.
Yesterday I updated to hplip-3.13.4-2.11.1 from
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Aang-cz%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3A12.3%3AUpdate&package=hplip
It does not helped.
Now I use workaroud:
Open hp-toolbox,
select my printer, use option „Download Firmware“ to send required proprietary
plug-in to printer. After this, I can print.

Maybe in openSUSE 12.2, I see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805016 :
At each attach of printer, dialog propted to install proprietary plug-in,
but printer just worked. And if I followed dialog and installed plug-in,
dialog still opened at next time.
So I just ignored that bug.
But this bug in openSUSE 12.3 installation, in contrast, don't care about fact, that plugin must send to
printer!

I open bug in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815186
/etc/udev/rules.d/86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_1018.rules: https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=535120
fraction from /var/log/cups/error_log : https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=535119

[Mindaugas B. (embar-super)]

P.S. mentioned workaroud works until next computer reboot or plug/unplug of printer.

[Amarnath Chitumalla (amarnath-chitumalla)]

Hi Mindaugas,

From above logs, plug-in is installed correctly .
Regarding 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_1018.rules, this uploads firmware from PC to printer during USB plug and play (no user interaction required).

From this logs, Plugin missing or Download Firmware pop-up might have not come.

Are you getting Plugin missing or Download Firmware pop-up? Please explain us he problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath

[Mindaugas B. (embar-super)]

There is NO pop-up dialog about missing plugin.
And NO pop-up dialog for download of firmware.
(But yes, dialogs does apeared in earler versions with earler openSUSE 12.2
(and apeared without necessity);
But now I use openSUSE 12.3).

The problem is that I must manualy send firmware, because it is not send automatically after plugging.

[Mindaugas B. (embar-super)]

I try to find udev log, but unsucessfully.

Content of /etc/udev/udev.conf is next 3 lines:
# see udev(7) for details

#udev_log="info"

Strange, but firmaware will be automatically send, if I execute as root and re-plug:
udevadm control --log-priority=info
or
udevadm control --log-priority=debug

But it don't send any firmware after execution any of next and replugging:
udevadm control --log-priority=
udevadm control --log-priority=err
udevadm control --log-priority=error

So maybe this is openSUSE specific bug? (in openSUSE 12.2 and 12.3 were strong changes in boot procedure)

[Mindaugas B. (embar-super)]

If I use:
 # udevadm control --log-priority=debug
Then
 I get atached /var/log/messages

Robert Milasan suggest, that problem is this:

But even if this message is shown, firmware was send, because "udevadm control --log-priority" =DEBUG, and
firmware not send if I set empty option ( "udevadm control --log-priority=" ) as by default.

[Mindaugas B. (embar-super)]

Johannes Meixner (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815186#c9) suggest, that
"HP should at least specify the '-i' option when calling hp-firmware
from a udev rules file to avoid those error message."

[Johannes Meixner (jsmeix)]

Regarding general issues with firmware upload
you may have a look at my own bad experience
with a similar model "HP LaserJet 1020", see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/187049

FYI:
Related to "the '-i' option" have a look at

[rabauke (sven-burmeister)]

Same issue with openSUSE 12.3. hplip-3.12.11-2.2.1.x86_64.

This did work before and installing the firmware via the hp-toolbox works as well.

[rabauke (sven-burmeister)]

Some debug output from turning on the printer:

There is no pop-up though to install the plug-in. Would not be necessary anyway since it was installed many times before.

Dear Maintainer,

My printer LaserJet1018 works no more with latest hplip package.
Printer can be detected and setup via hp-setup just nicely, but for any
job (incl. test page) I get:

Also, when I reboot with my printer plugged-in, my system doesn't boot.

Hi,

In OpenSuse 12.3, udev rules have been changed to systemctl service to run command. This change is supported in latest HPLIP release.
Please install latest HPLIP from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install.html.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath
