HP 5150!

[theD3viL]

I have this printer (hp5150c) and i want to print with it.


Anyway, i installed (compiled) cups, ghostscript, gimp-print, foomatic, and many many things but its not works!


My lsusb detect it:


Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 03f0:6204 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 5150c
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c025 Logitech, Inc. MX500 Optical Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000


But CUPS dont detect it. At USB Printer #1,2,3, ... dont show up.



What to do? What is wrong?

Do you have the usblp driver in your kernel ? And if it is a module, is it loaded ? You should have lines like these in dmesg:

I have enabled USB printer in kernel. But in dmesg it didnt show up.

I have the same printer. If you compiled usblp as a module, you can check if it's loaded by using lsmod.

It's been a while since I set it up, but I remember having to set up foomatic and run a few commands before CUPS can add the printer. I just followed the CUPS guide.

I'm not able to make this printer print.

lsusb detects it, but there are no drivers for it in KDE 3.4.3 (Control Panel -> Peripherals -> Printers -> Add new user -> local USB also DOES correctly FIND it). I have cups and every AMD64 ffomatic ebuilds emerged (except its masked GUI).

Thanks in advance.

Is that really a usblp issue? Isn't there something missing in your package listing? The package for using HP printers is called hplip, alternatively there is some hpoj. There's even a wiki at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HPLIP

[Sachankara]

Compile usblp into the kernel (not as a module), emerge hplip, start the cups server, log in at localhost:631 using your browser, add the printer and print. That's all I have to do to connect a HP 5150 to my computer(s).

Thanks to all.
I just needed to install the hplip package. It now prints flawlessly
