WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!

CUPS is talking to my HP OJ-4215!

THANKS!

Glad to help. This fix comes from Patriot's work with CUPS 1.3.9.

Hello,

Wondered if anyone could help. I'm a newbie to puppy and am using Boxpup 4.1.3 which I like a lot. Unfortunately, CUPS printing doesn't seem to work.

Puppy is Boxpup 413
Installed PET package hpijs-2.8.12.pet
Printer is an HP DeskJet F380 all-in-one printer. It's connected via USB.

Symptoms: error message when trying to print via CUPS. Nothing appears on the printer.

In the CUPS browser I get this error:
HP_F380_USB_1 "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed"

Printer details are shown here as:
Description: HP Deskjet F300 series
Location: Local Printer
Printer Driver: HP Deskjet f300 Series Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.12.26
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: usb://HP/Deskjet%20F300%20series?serial=CN66UGK1KD04KH

Then I changed /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip to switch debug on.
This creates a logfile in /tmp/foomtic-rip.log
I think that this is the error:
renderer command: gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 -sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" -sDeviceModel="deskjet 3600" -r300 -sIjsParams=Quality:Quality=0,Quality:ColorMode=2,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:PenSet=1 -dIjsUseOutputFD -sOutputFile=- -

I didn't want to post the entire log file as it's big, but can do it if required.
Anyone have any ideas on what I should do next?

Go to the folder /usr/lib/cups/filter
Locate the file foomatic-rip-hplip and open it in a text editor
Change the top line to #!/usr/bin/perl -U
Save it and try to print again.

@rcrsn51,

thanks for the help. I changed the file and restarted cups - still get the error.
I then rebooted and tried again - same error.

The log file has this - wondered if the 'inappropriate ioctl' bit had any bearing on it. Sorry, managed to miss that line in my earlier post:

It also wants the -U patch applied to the file /usr/bin/foomatic-gswrapper. Just to be safe, also apply it to /usr/bin/foomatic-rip.

Thanks for the amazingly quick reply and I'm glad to report that it's working now!

I just changed the first file , /usr/bin/foomatic-gswrapper , then restarted cups and the test print worked. Many thanks for your help!

HPIJS updated to 3.9.4b

Cartridges went bad in my old Deskjet3930, so picked up
an even older Deskjet3650 for a few dollars; works fine with
new driver.

With the first printer I deleted the 600+ extra drivers one by one;
this time saved the one I need and trashed the rest of the package.
Saves about 5mb of space.

thanks

sorry
I'm looking for about PET package hpijs-2.8.12.pet. everyone could help me and say me where is it?
thanks

HPIJS updated to 3.9.12

I did a clean reload of my laptop and now my HP LJ P-1006 is not working.

I tried the hplite app and nothing.

I tried the latest HPIJS 3.9.12 and still no joy.

It all looks OK, no errors, I just get nothing when I tell it to send a Test page.

The job seems to be sent into the ether as it doesn't show up as Active or Competed.

I am running Puppy 4.31

WDYT?

Just observed this in CUPS:

HP LaserJet p1006 hpijs, 3.9.12.29, requires proprietary plugin

The driver challenge for Linux is described and solved here:
http://www.foo2xqx.rkkda.com/

Puppy is not mentioned so I will look around for the Puppy PET - since using stuff for other distros often does not work ... or breaks things.
