 |
|
Hi.
After switching from Mandrake to Gentoo I cant get my USB printer (HP Deskjet 5550) to work any more with CUPS.
I am using the web gui to add and administrate the printer.
When adding the printer I can select "USB Printer#1 (hp deskjet 5550)"
But when getting back to the status page I receive something like:
"unable to open USB device usb://hp/deskjet%205500?serial==Êÿ¿P£: No such device"
For me it feels like CUPS can not find the correct address for the printer.
I have the following modules loaded:
usbcore
uhci
printer
Anybody that have any clue whats going on?
Best Regards

Looks like you may not have the correct USB drivers loaded.
Try building your kernel with the following support compiled in:
Enable USB kernel support
Compile in UHCI support and EHCI (if you have USB-2)
Compile in USB printer support
hope this helps... |

Isn´t that what I just have loaded as modules?
Is there any difference if I load these as modules or have them compiled in the kernel?
The computer is a old IBM Pentium 2 so I suppose I do not need the USB 2 support.
Regards.

Sounds to me that cups doesnt have the correct device:
Go into CUPS Admin (http://127.0.0.1:631)
Delete the current printers and run this command:
| Code: |
foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-DeskJet_5550 -c file:/dev/usb/lp0 -n hp5550 -d hpijs
|
[/code] |

Any idea why this happens? When adding the printer throu the web-GUI it finds the printer as a connected USB device.
I did work correctly running Mandrake default installation and latest CUPS.

Tried the configuration method above.
| Code: | foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-Deskjet_5550 -c file /dev/usb/lp0 -n hp5550 -d hpijs
|
Received the following.
| Code: | | Cannot read file /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-Deskjet_5550.xml!Could not run "foomatic-combo-xml"/"foomatic-perl-data"! at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Foomatic/DB.pm line 545. |
It seams that I dont have the correct XML file. Shouldn't the ppd file be enough?
I am not as good as I want to be in configurating CUPS.
If anybody have any advice, please feel free to reply.
Regards
Lars

| Check your installed CUPS and FOOMATIC revisions against portage. It appears from the changelogs for foomatic that the HP-Deskjet_5550 xml file was introduced quite recently. |

Ive just had my printer config disappear after a cups upgrade and so had to run it again.
Rather than trying to remember it, I just came to this thread and copied the code from the window. I copied yours and it failed with the same error.
Your problem is that you are missing the colon after 'file' in
file:/dev/usb/lp0
