 Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2003 12:26 am Post subject: trouble with HP Officejet G55 |
 |
|
i'm having problems installing my officejet g55 using USB, i've managed to get it working via parallel port however i can't get it to print via USB, all corresponding modules are built and loaded (usbcore & printer), both show up under lsmod and dmesg tells me a printer has been plugged when i turn on my printer.
another thing, is there any reason this shouldn't work? :
foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-OfficeJet_G55 -c /dev/usb/lp0 -n Default -d hpijs
'cause it returns:
lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible
Could not set up/change the queue "Default"! |

ok, i fixed the problem, it turns out this was the correct command:
foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-OfficeJet_G55 -c file:/dev/usb/lp0 -n HP-Officejet_G55 -d hpijs
however, now when i go to localhost:631 and try to print a test page i get the following:
Description: HP OfficeJet G55
Location:
Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
"Unable to open USB device "usb://HP/OfficeJet%20G%20Series?serial=SGE08E1HZ2VL": No such device"
Device URI: usb://HP/OfficeJet%20G%20Series?serial=SGE08E1HZ2VL
any clues?? |

ok, now i'm completely lost... now i get this:
Description: HP OfficeJet G55
Location:
Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
"Media tray empty!"
Device URI: usb://HP/OfficeJet%20G%20Series?serial=SGE08E1HZ2VL

BTW, echoing to /dev/usb/lp0 doesn't print anything either... |

ok, plugin your printer and make sure it's powered on, as root run:
after your done with that, run:
u might want to
| Code: | | rc-update add hpoj default |
to avoid having to run the previous command everytime u want to print.
then inside the cups web interface add the printer using the ptal: device and u should be up and running, BTW i use the hpijs driver |
