 Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 1:37 pm Post subject: Unable to use HP Photosmart 8450 |
 |
|
I have reinstalled cups, foomatic chunks and hplip, and I just cannot get my HP8450 working, though it had worked in the past. I deleted the printer in cups because it had stopped working - I kept getting a "foomatic-rip failed" message when trying to print test pages which I was unable to fix. I cannot get hp-setup to add my printer again - it finds the printer on the network, fails to offer me a suitable PPD, so I select the recommended one and then the setup fails with no useful message.
A manual printer setup gets the printer back up, but I still get the error "usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed". I'm sure I'm using the correct driver: HP PhotoSmart 8400 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)
The cups error log looks like this:

Can anyone help here?
After all these years, Linux printing still seems to be the most nightmarish kluge, I have never had a smooth ride setting it up.

Hi guys, just ran into this with my Brother HL 2070N. Here's how I fixed it:
-Emerged the foomatic db and filters packages
-Logged into cups web interface and chose "Printers" then "Modify Printer"
-At the Name/Location/Description screen hit "Continue"
-On the device screen, make sure your device is selected and hit "Continue"
Here's what made the difference for me- I had downloaded a .ppd file from linuxprinting.org for my printer. The foomatic packages added many more native options, and I was able to select a different driver for the printer.
After this change, the error message was gone, and I was able to print a test page.
Hope this helps.
