|
|
Hi all,
I have a HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw connected via Ethernet with a fixed internal IP. Lately* I am having issues in printing to it.
Okular can print without problems (once I disabled Double Sided Printing in the global printer settings, otherwise it would complain about mismatching settings), but Libreoffice says: "Could not start printer. Please check your printer configuration". On other programs (Brave browser and KMyMoney for now) nothing happen: I get the normal print dialog, I click Print, the dialog disappear as it should, but nothing get printed; I tried to keep open the print queue program and nothing appear there when I click the above "Print" button.
I already tried to reboot the PC, reboot the printer, delete the printer and re-setup it, but without changes. I am using:
kernel 6.6.10-zen1-x86_64
net-print/cups-2.4.7-r2
net-print/hplip-3.23.12
net-print/hplip-plugin-3.23.12
Thanks and best regards.
* I rarely print from this specific computer and I keep it updated daily, so it is impossible to backtrack exactly when and with which update the problem started. _________________ Marco Di Fresco

Same problem here. I have solved it with
Code: | emerge cups-filters |

marco.difresco,
I went through this a few weeks ago. Its resolved now but I don't know why. It's the same printer model too.
Like you, I update fairly frequently too.
I don't have
net-print/hplip
net-print/hplip-plugin
installed, so its probably not those packages. _________________ Regards,

There was a relevant News item back in November, "CUPS no longer directly depends on its filters":
Quote: | cups-filters is required for current versions of CUPS. To prevent depcleaning
if you are a CUPS user (and it was not installed just as a dependency for
something else):
emerge net-print/cups-meta
