Bug Description
=== Short description ===
The printer (HP LaserJet 1200) is not autodetected properly in Lubuntu 11.10. It reports on USB, but it does not print.
Manual printer settings do not make any change, nor with different drivers (CUPS+Gutenprint, Foomatic, HPLIP).
Maybe I just need your advice on diagnostics.
=== What i tried ===
Printing under Lubuntu 11.10 alpha 1 is broken. I had Ubuntu 10.10 before, and my HP LaserJet 1200 was working out-of-the-box. Now it is not.
1) After installing Lubuntu having the printer plugged in, the system choose tu use the "HP LaserJet 1200-CUPS+
1b) The same when I choose the "HP LaserJet 1200-CUPS+
1c) I installed the "foomatic-
2) I removed the printer (at system-
Adding new printer was not automatic (!), I had to click Add Printer. Choose HP, "HP Lj1200 Foomatic/Postscript [en] (recommended)".
During adding in system-

The printer seems to be added successfully at a first glance, printing a test page marks the print job as "Finished". But the printer starts blinking green light as if it was receiving data and does nothing for at least half an hour.
3) After installing the "hplip" package, the printer adding behaves differently. It does not ask for the manufacturer and driver, but only for some details regarding page geometry and printer memory.
4) I tried the "hpijs pcl3" driver. The printer still behaves the same wrong way. It blinks, but does not print.
What shall I try next? (I did not try https:/

Can you now, after having installed HPLIP, try to set up your printer again? Remove all its print queues and turn it off and on again. Does something happen? Does it get set up automatically?
If not, do
sudo apt-get install system- config- printer- udev
If a package gets installed, turn off and turn on your printer. Does it set up automatically?
If yes, try to print. Does it work?
If not, set up the printer with system- config- printer. Try Postscript as the driver at first, if this does not work, run
sudo apt-get install hplip-cups
Start system- config- printer again and try to set up your printer with hpcups as the driver. Does this work?
If all this does not work, please follow the instructions in the sections "CUPS error_log" and "Capturing print job data" in https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingPr intingProblems
Please tell the results of everything you did here.
