HP Laserjet p1505 not responding after install w CUPS

[Colin Stuart]

Using Ubuntu 8.04 I installed new HP LaserJet P1505 with CUPS. Although the message in the print window says "processing" then "completed" nothing gets printed. There is no actual response - it will not print a thing, not even a test page. To check things out I (very reluctantly) installed the printer on Vista: no problems.

According to http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_P1505:

This printer is supported by the foo2xqx free software printer driver.

In Ubuntu 8.04, install the hplip-gui package and launch HPLIP Tools from System > Administration. It will take care of installing it and downloading firmware.

Did you try that?

[Colin Stuart (cdstuart)]

To be honest, I haven't tried. My printing needs were sufficiently
urgent that I took the HP back to the supplier who traded straight
across for a Samsung ML2510 which works beautifully. Much thanks for
your effort in responding.

Pascal,

I've used the information you gave, and receive the same result as Colin.

The printer was recognized by Ubuntu on install, with the foo2xqx driver, the HPLIP tools detect the printer and show everything. When I attempt any kind of print job, nothing happens.

Regards,

Kate

This printer needs to be configured using hp-setup to function correctly, the HPLIP tools do not take care off this.
The automatic printer detection and configuration (plug 'n print) does not install the firmware that is required for this printer to work.

Simply running:

sudo hp-setup

From a terminal should resolve this problem.

This is a bug in the plug 'n print detection which should not automatically set up printers that require additional firmware to be loaded, reassigning.

HP Laster jet now seems to work fine with ubuntu 10.
