I'm about to start using the HP laserjet Pro 200 Colour MFP, I have HPlip and HP scan installed for my HP Deskjet F2480, its been working well for a couple of years now. Do I need to install foo2xxx_rcrsn.pet to get the Pro 200 working. My distro is Slacko 5.9.3.

Hello Rcrsn51,
Update: I have built a 64bit version of HPLIP specifically for Tahrpup64. This is a combo print/scan package . Download it here.
Code:
e0936e8883891fe0f2acf1cd67c95ff0 hplip_print_scan_tahr64-3.15.9.pet
Mediafire says file not there. Is there an alternative site to find this .pet?

Thank you for your response in advance.

Sky

Thank you, perdido,

Is the download website secure? Seamonkey is giving me warnings that it isn't.

Your Welcome Sky Aisling.

Pale Moon complained but I granted it a security exception. The download checked out ok.

Self signed security certificate

Code: Select all

lab2000-linux.homepc.it uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.

How to Install Your Printer/Scanner in Puppy

#399 Post by Sky Aisling »

Hello, :)
I'm having no joy attempting to make hplip_print_scan_tahr64-3.15.9.pet to work on two of my machines. One machine is a 32bit machine the other is a 64 bit machine. I am running the same Tahrpup on both machines, one via CD, one via HDD.
To my surprise when I run a startup check to see which version of Tahrpup I am running the check tells me that I am running a 32bit Tahrpup NOT a 64bit Tahrpup.
Will this make a difference in the hplip_print_scan_tahr64-3.15.9.pet running?
Thank you for your reply in advance.

Hi, all.

I'm actually getting a wee bit concerned about Bill.

Every single link to stuff he's put together is coming up with 'Invalid or missing/deleted file'. To me, this points to one of two things:-

Either he's no longer with us (period). Or,
He's given up on Puppy.

You tend to get this from file-sharing sites when stuff hasn't been accessed for, say, 6 months or more. But with the number of Puppians accessing these links, that wouldn't happen.

So that leads me to the unhappy conclusion that he's finally given up on Puppy.....and has deleted everything himself...(???)

Don't know what to think. 'Course, I could be completely wrong; I don't know what happens with file-sharing accounts if the account holder doesn't access them for several months (even though other people do)...

I do hope he's okay.


Mike. :(

Hi Sky,
Couple things to consider.
The 32-bit machine cannot run a 64-bit operating system.
The 32-bit operating systems cannot run the 64-bit driver.

You can find kernel version by typing

Code: Select all

uname -r
in a terminal window and hit enter. Once you know kernel version then just need to find the correct driver.

Hello perdido,
Couple things to consider.
The 32-bit machine cannot run a 64-bit operating system.
The 32-bit operating systems cannot run the 64-bit driver.

You will need the 32-bit hplip_print_scan driver compiled for the kernel version in the 32-bit install (like the hplip_print_scan_tahr64-3.15.9.pet is for kernel 3.15.9)

You can find kernel version by typing

Code: Select all

uname -r	
in a terminal window and hit enter. Once you know kernel version then just need to find the correct driver.
I am running Tahrpup-6.05 32bit with kernel 3.14.56. (note: I update through quickpet regularly)
Do you know where I find a hplip .pet to match this configuration?
I've searched but to no avail.
Thank you for taking time to reply.

Sky,
Looks like I was wrong in assuming the last numbers in a hplip driver package are kernel version, they are the driver version. :oops:
Was just a coincidence that the numbers were so close to the kernel version.

So the driver versions are not kernel specific.

That makes it easier to get a working driver. So the latest it seems is 3.14.4

Those are from here, lot of different versions of various drivers.

Embarrass not, how many times have I misread the numbers on a piece of code? So easy to do.

Help needed -- using an HP 3500c scanner with TahrPup. For some reason, I can apparently scan again and again as long as i do NOT use the preview window function to preview When i do that, i get the message

Code: Select all

Error during read: Error during device I/O.
I installed the hplip_scan-3.16.x.pet package, still no joy.=, even after rebooting. Any thoughts?

Some similar loss of connection with PeaseyScan, but not all the time. Still not sure if it has to do with scan mode (color/lineart, etc.). Thoughts?

EDIT: Seems it definitely is tied in with the color mode only, not Grey or other settings. I've tried the various matrices (NTSC, etc.) to no avail. Will keep testing as able, but feedback appreciated.

What driver were you using BEFORE you installed the hplip_scan-3.16.x.pet package?

What scanner program were you using BEFORE PeasyScan?

Thanks for the quick reply (and this entire thread!)

Sorry -- i should have mentioned i was using xsane first.

I don't know what driver i was (or am now) using nor how to determine that -- ?? :( If you can tell me how to find that out, of course i will post it.

I did follow the advice at an Arch Linux forum and added hpaio and hpoj to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. but that didn't seem to help.

Gracias....
