i have no idea what all this means?

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

According to the error_log this looks like a ghostscript issue, reassigning.

[Rajinder Singh (rajindersingh)]

How can I resolve this issue?

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz (arekm)]

socket://169.254.18.21:9100 - that stupid propertiary HP module wants hp:// and otherwise reports " Error: This module is designed to work with HP Printers only"

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

How did you set up your printer? system-config-printer (System -> Administration -> Printing)? Web interface of CUPS (http://localhost:631/)? Can you tell, step by step how you have set up your printer? A fully automatic setup (system-config-printer, select auto-detected printer, then click "Forward", "Forward", ...) should set up the printer correctly.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Printer is not correctly set up, can be a problem of system-config-printer.

[wribeiro (wribeiro)]

Same thing here:

Ubuntu 10.10
Client has HP Professional M 1132 MFP attached to a Windows Server 2003 machine via USB. Other Windows machines print through network fine.

- Installing the printer through System->Administration->Printer locates the printer (via SAMBA) just fine and I can install the driver for it (there are 3 options, all of them are installed ok).
- Cups Web Interface also installs the printer, like described above.
- hp-setup HPLIP Toolbox (HP Device Manager) doesn't find the printer

After installation, trying to print, an error is reported.
Running the diagnosis, depending on the driver used, the message may vary:
- "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"
- "/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed" "printer requires a binary plugin, run hp-setup"

In both cases, the log (listed below) gives the message: "Error: This module is designed to work with HP Printers only"

I have been using a Lexmark printer for years in the same way, without troubles. My problems only began recently, trying to install HP multifunctional.

Can somebody help me?

It seems that HP's proprietary plugin works only with their backends and therefore not as SMB-shared printer on another computer. You can also use alternative drivers like foo2zjs or foo2hp.

[wribeiro (wribeiro)]

Where can I find theese alternatives drivers?

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

wribeiro, is installed on Ubuntu by default. Start system-config-printer via System -> Administration -> Printing, right-click the icon of your printer, select "Properties", and click "Change" at "Make and Model". Click "Forward" on the screen for the manufacturers and on the next screen chabge the driver by the list on the right. Choose an entry which contains something with "foo2zjs", "fpp2hp" , or "foo2xqx". Click "Forward" until you reach the end of the wizard and "Apply" to close it. Try to print again. Now it should work.

[wribeiro (wribeiro)]

I tried all of the alternative drivers, none of them work.
After a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10, I installed the driver hpijs 3.10.6 and, until this point, everything goes ok.
When I try to print, the following error occurs: "usr/lib/bugs/filter/foomatic-rip failed"
The debug text is attached to this post.

Printer: HP Professional M 1132 MFP attached to a Windows Server 2003 machine via USB. Other Windows machines print through network fine.
Ubuntu 10.10, clean install

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Do you have HP's proprietary plug-in actually installed? Run the following commands in a terminal window:

sudo apt-get install hplip-gui
sudo hp-plugin

and follow the instructions on the screen. Simply use the default choices in hp-plugin. Does printing work for you now?

[wribeiro (wribeiro)]

Till, thank you for your support.
hplip-gui and hp-plugin were installed without errors, but printer is still not working.

Device Setup in HPLIP doesn't find the printer.
Cups Web Interface works, installs the printer, but the same error (or very similar) occurs when I send the document to the printer. Depending on the driver selected, there is a different error message and a different log.

I am very upset about it because it has hindered the work here in the office and I'm about to replace Ubuntu by Windows XP after 5 years using Ubuntu. :(

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Looks like that this printer can only be used under Ubuntu if it is connected to a Linux server. If the printer is USB-only, the Linux server must share it out to the Windows machines via Samba, if it has a built-in network connector (do not use an external print box) then stay with your setup for it for your Windows machines and in addition, set it up on one Ubuntu machine using system-config-printer or hp-setup (make sure to look for network printers in these programs) and share it out from this machine for your other Ubuntu machines.

[wribeiro (wribeiro)]

I'm very disappointed with all this situation, once there is a Lexmark printer connected to another USB port of the same computer, that works absolutely fine for all machines in the network.
Is unacceptable to have a modern HP printer installed and shared in a Windows Server machine and can not print through the network in Ubuntu 10.10. I am being forced to substitute Linux for Windows in at least three or four computers in my office. Regrettable!!

Even its direct installation in a Ubuntu 10.10 machine doesn't work. There is a huge bug in hp-plugin, that I had to correct in order to have the plugin installed.

urllib.py, line 264, is necessary replace the code
   size = int(headers["Content-Length"])
by
   size = int(headers["Content-Length"].split(",")[0])

because the result of headers["Content-Length"] is something like "9999, 9999", instead of "9999" that seems to be expected.

Thank you.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

wribeiro, which version of HPLIP are you using? For me the proprietary plugin installs without problems.

[wribeiro (wribeiro)]

I'm using HP LIP version 3.11.1, the last one, I suppose.

Maybe some difference in the environment, or language (I use Ubuntu and Windows in Brazilian Portuguese) make the error occur only in some cases, I don't know.
But my real need is to access the printer over the network, if that does not work it will be frustrating for me after 3 full days (until now) devoted to this problem.
Why HP does not spend a little more time and completes the full development of the driver?

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Probably you need help from HP now. Please report HPLIP bugs via

http://launchpad.net/hplip/

Report two bugs;

1. Printer which needs the proprietary plug-in works only with the "hp" backend, not with standard backends like "smb".
2. "hp-plugin" works only after applying a small change (possibly caused by Brazilian Portuguese language setting?)

To check whether a program has problems with your Brazilian Portuguese language setting try calling it overriding the language:

LANG=C hp-plugin -i
LANGUAGE=C hp-plugin -i
LC_ALL=C hp-plugin -i

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

(2) is already reported. It is bug 740140. Please continue the discussion about this problem there.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

wribeiro, thank you for the fix/workaround suggestion in comment #14. I can reproduce the bug also on my system with US English language setting and HPLIP 3.11.1, so it seems not to be any interference with languages. Your fix is a change on a file which belongs to the python2.7 package. Therefore I cannot fix the problem immediately and I have added a Python task to bug 740140.

[wribeiro (wribeiro)]

Ok, I also described the fix/workaround there, but I had created the 2 suggested topics before. So one of them is a duplicate of bug #740140.
