Hi exProphecy,
please try:
1. Switch off and switch on your printer. Check if it appears in cups. In case not,
2. Restart cups doing:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/cups reload 
/etc/init.d/cups restart
and recheck cups.
I hope that helps.

Well, restarting CUPS won't help because the problem is not detecting the printer in my network. The problem is detecting the DRIVER for the printer. It seems that the printer model/driver for my HP PSC1315xi ALL-IN-ONE is not here. It's odd though because I installed hpijs just for kicks and I saw the HPPSC1310 driver WHICH does work for 1315xi. So how come the HPLIP package, which is supposedly supposed to have all the driver that HPIJS should have, does not have my driver?

The hp-psc_1310_series-hpijs.ppd.gz driver is included in hpliplite (just rechecked!). Look at /usr/share/ppd/HP
Bizarre...

HUH that is quite odd. I redownloaded the hpliplite package and when I was installing it, the licensing window popped up. It never popped up before.. weird? I suppose the first download was corrupted? Anyways, yea after redownloading and reinstalling the .pet, I was able to find the driver you mentioned. Anyways, thanks a bunch!

Uhm.. wait, okay I was able to find the hp-psc_1310_series-hpijs.ppd.gz in my ppd folder. But I just reopened cups and it isn't there.

EDIT: Nevermind I see it. Thanks!

Printing is working though?

Check that hpaio is in the file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

Please try opening an rxvt terminal and type:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio.so.1 /lib/libsane-hpaio.so.1
and try xsane again.

This is a fairly old post but may be of some help.

Did you write all slashes? Please try it again.
Also, what is the output of:

Code: Select all

sane-find-scanner
and

Code: Select all

 scanimage -L

cannot execute the hpliplite packages?

#45 Post by mow9902 »

Thanks for the detailed process to install these scanner packages. I have a full HD install of puppy 4.0

I downloaded libnetsnmp.pet and hpliplite-3.9.2.pet

However, when I try to install the packages nothing happens. When I execute the files from a terminal window I receive the error message "permission denied" for both files.

What would this be please ?

I think in a consolewindow you had to type:
petget thepackage.pet

Thanks for the quick reply MU

As you can tell - I am very new to all of this.

Per your advice I typed:
petget libnetsnmp-15.pet ...and the output was:

/usr/sbin/petget: line 1257: 4775 terminated yaf-splash -font "8x16" -outline 0 -margin 4 -bg orange -text "PETget package manager"
Processing, please wait...."

...and another message almost exactly the same except
/usr/sbin/petget: line 1395: 4947 terminated (and then the rest the same)

I'm assuming this means that the petget script has terminated with some error for some reason; and the rest of the message is just the output of the orange box on the screen.

I get the same sort of error when I do a petget on the other package.

Any further advice would be very much appreciated. thanks

Is there any log file I can send or create to send to you so you can see exactly what I am seeing ?

this looks ok.
Look in the hidden folder /root/.packages.
(Click on the eye in rox-filer to see hidden folders).

There you should have:
libnetsnmp-15.files
It lists all installed files (you can open it with the editor).

If it is not there, you still could extract them manually, and copy the contents to your system.
But it would be important to see, why petget will not work for you.

Thanks Mark

I looked in the .packages directory and do NOT see the file libnetsnmp-15.files

BUT I do see the libnetsnmp-15.pet file there again ie it looks like instead of extracting any files, it simply moved a copy of the .pet file into the .packages directory.

How do I manually extract .pet files? thanks

As to why petget doesn't work the way it should - I have no idea. It has also worked fine in the past. How can I tell whether it is a problem with the pet package itself, or something in my system setup?

pet packages won't install - SOLVED!

#50 Post by mow9902 »

Mark - thanks for your guidance. There must have been something wrong with the original package I downloaded. I downloaded both again, and they both worked fine this time - and my scanner is FINALLY working.

Sorry to have bothered you unnecessarily.
