Every print causes the printer to pause at first page on a Deskjet F2280

[dyle]

I have a Deskjet F2280 installed and using CUPS 1.4.1. I was not able to pick a PPD file from the hp-setup utility but within the CUPS interface I was presented with the "HP Deskjet F2200 series" which rather close matches my printer.

Printing is ok, but for the very first page.

No matter what I print: right in the middle of the first page the printer aborts printing and sets itself to "Paused". I then manually have to click "Resume Printer" in CUPS and this feeds the paper (with some printing on it) and I have to restart the whole printing process again.

This is pretty annoying for a set of reasons:
1. I have to start up the CUPS interface every time I want to print something
2. The aborted print causes a waste of paper which is avoidable
3. One needs to be root to "Resume Printer" and as such noone except me can print.

The last one is a killer, since there *are* non-root users on the machine.

What further info is needed and what can I do?

Thx, in advance,
Oliver

Hello!

Thanks for posting hp-check output. Looking at few error and warning messages in output log, I would like to verify if HPLIP components are actually in use. Can you please send me CUPS log file located at /var/log/cups/error_log (after log level is set to debug and the problem is reproduced once)?

The instructions for getting the CUPS debug log is available at

Thanks,
Suma

Hi,

Ok.

# /etc/init.d/cups stop
# rm /var/log/cups/*
# grep LogLevel /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
LogLevel debug
# /etc/init.d/cups start

Attached is the error.log and access.log in a tarball (error.log exeecd 100K!).

Thx for help!

Hi,

Thanks for posting the log files.

Can you try adding the user "dyle" - which is the user trying to print as seen in the log files - to "lp" or "lpadmin" group and see if that helps?

Do you see any warning messages (or light) on printer when it pauses printing?

Regards,
Suma

Hi,

Please post /var/log/syslog too (ensure problem is reproduced once).

Thanks,
Suma

Ok. Here is the relevant output:

# grep dyle /etc/group | grep lp
lp:x:7:lp,dyle,jasa,janos,zala
lpadmin:x:106:root,dyle

So the user is listened in the groups.

And the syslog for a printing page reads:

Just for Info:

I kicked the bogus cups-halutils-0.6.19 and everything is fine ...
