This worked without a hitch on my other gentoo computer. Same version of hplip (latest stable). I even packaged it with quickpkg and installed on the second computer. No luck.
Oh, also same use flags.
EDIT: When running hp-setup with the debug flag "-g" I get a message " debug: Cache miss: envy_4520_series" Does anybody know what this means and how to fix it?

Rather blundered onto the solution. I copied "/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat" from the working gentoo computer to the non-working computer. They should have been the same but that got the non-working computer to automatically detect the Envy 4520 and got rid of the deceptive "cache miss" message.
Then following a tip from an on-line discussion, I ran gunzip on /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-envy_4520_series-hpijs.ppd.gz. I hadn't had to do this step on the first computer.
Also should mention that luckily I still had a Win 7 computer because a windows computer is necessary to attach the printer to the wireless router.
BAD hp, BAD! |
