 |
|
I followed the Gentoo Wiki on printing to set up my printer, but when I went to print my test page nothing happened.
when I view the cups log I get the following error.
| Code: |
tail /var/log/cups/error_log
[19/Dec/2015:10:42:16 +0000] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files
|
Thanks for any help in advance.

I can't help with the error you posted but I can show how to setup your printer using HP's software.
The following instructions are based on Gentoo amd64 KDE4 openrc installation with a scanner. Since your's doesn't have a scanner you can eliminate: gocr and xsane.
1. Add the following to package.use before compiling:
| Code: | net-print/cups -usb zeroconf
net-print/hplip scanner snmp
media-gfx/xsane gimp ocr
app-text/gocr scanner |
2. Install packages
| Code: | | sudo emerge -av cups gocr hplip xsane |
3. Add cups to init and add your user to lpadmin and lp groups.
| Code: | | sudo rc-update add cupsd default && sudo gpasswd -a yourusername lpadmin && sudo gpasswd -a yourusername lp |
4. Restart or start cups
| Code: | | sudo rc-service cupsd restart |
5. Reboot or logout
6. Setup your printer via HP's software
A. Select utilities/HP Device Manager from the applications menu
or
B. Run via terminal:
7. If you don't want the HP software to start on bootup, edit the following:
Rename /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop to hplip-systray.desktop.orig |

Thank you for your help. The hplip package worked great for me.
I emerged it, clicked on the HP logo and set up my printer.
I was able to print a test page and I also was able to print this page.  |
