hp-devicesettings fails to find printer

[martin_jacobs]

To be able to use borderless printing with my PhotoSmart C7280 connected via WLAN, I wan't to switch off
"Fit-to-Page", which is not offered by CUPS printer administration. hp-devicesettungs fails to find device given by printer name, see trace at the end.

All Photosmart print queues are created with hp-setup, in total I've 5 queues of the same device with different base settings (chosen in CUPS) (draft, draft/duplex, best, best/duplex, photo/phototray).

Print control is done by CUPS 1.3.11, which works fine. pstoraster comes from ghostscript 8.64 with hplip-hpijs support.

Scanning based on sane-backends 1.0.19 and hpaio backend from hplip 3.9.6b works fine, xsane works fine, don't know why hp-check does not find xsane, even scanning from within gimp 2.6.7 works.

This printer has no device settings. Currently, the device settings utility
is solely for setting power management options on printers with batteries.

Hi,

thanks for this explanation. Which (command line) tool hp-* do
I have to use to get borderless printing?

Regards

Martin
