HPs work really well from linux, the hplip-software does all the configuring 
for you.

My current HP one can scan and print directly to/from USB drives. No need for 
a computer.
Newer HP printers can also scan to fileshares, email, just like most other 
"advanced" units.

After you have used it a bit and made use of all the options, can you
post back on what worked well and what didn't?  Also, notes on any
tricky setup problems may prove interesting as well. 

Thanks.

Hello,

I strongly recommend a Brother laser/thermal printer. They can do
color now. You can alternatively buy reservoirs for ink based
printers.

Color lasers are usually "business" instead of "home" but I would not
buy a home printer if I could afford it. The savings will be quite a
bit. A business printer will last a decade or more, and is not that
much more expensive. Someone mentioned laser getting better, I would
agree.

Cheers,
 R0b0t1

As you're in France it shouldn't be a problem, just watch for the
currency conversion. They've been about for years dealing in refurbished
kit, although I think these printers are new.

All our lasers have been Dell, and there's been minimal problems with
them. Our current one is the Dell 1765 multi-function, which isn't on
the list :-( I think our current printers are the 4th and 5th we've had
from them.

HPs and Epsons are allegedly linux-friendly.

One thing to look out for - do you do a lot of scanning? One of the
reasons I like the Dells is that they have what I call "push scanning" -
configure them to connect via Samba, then you can put the original in
the feeder, select "scan" on the front panel, and the scan appears
automagically on the computer. With both HP and Epson, you usually have
to put the document in the scanner, then go to the computer and run the
scan software. A pain in the arse.

Hi,

For my birthday (!) my children want to offer me a multifunction
printer, copier.

I ask you for an idea which one they could buy.

For example:  Multifonction A3 HP Officejet Pro 7612

[gentoo-user] printer recommendation

[thelma]

I need to replace one of my Brother printers and am looking for a
replacement.  I have had luck in recent years with Brother printers:
- HL-5250DN (needs to be replaced)
- HL-5370 - working OK

I only need a B/W printer with an Ethernet interface. Toner usage is
important. Average pages per day will range from 20-50.

Brother recently improved with their Linux drivers; installing one under
Gentoo from RPM (with minor adjustments) was ok.

Looking at Brother web-page, they have:
- HL-L5200DW - 8000 pages per $177.49 toner seems OK
It has "Advanced security features to help protect sensitive documents"
I don't know what that is, have to ask Brother.
However, http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/Brother
does not mention this model, so I have no reference as to how well it
works with Linux.

HL-L2360DW - Seems OK but it only makes  2,600-pages per $100/toner;
this is NOT OK.

I used to have HP but I don't like their toners with chip technology, so
NO HP, unless they have changed.

Any other recommendations?

I could at this time go in localhost:31 and tried to stop the action in

and made some settings (I don't remember which !!).

I've lost track of all the details of this thread, so please excuse me
if this has been suggested already.  If I recall, you are using CUPS,
and if so, this document[1] explains how to set margins from the command

I remember doing the required math for this a couple of years ago, and
ended up just going with something like a2ps and being done with it.

[gentoo-user] Printer margins

[Dale]

Howdy,

I finally got around to ordering some ink cartridges.  Now I want to do
some printing.  Thing is, it tries to print ALL the way to the bottom
which ends up blurred and unreadable.  I've looked in Seamonkey
settings, nothing.  I've looked in Hplip, nothing there.  I've even
looked in cups, well, nothing that makes sense.  I don't like the new
cups interface.  I didn't see anything there related to margins and when
I looked in the config file, I couldn't make sense of what to change.

So, how does one change the bottom margin to say 1/2 or even 3/4 inch or
something?  Is there a way? 

Thanks.

Re: [gentoo-user] Printer margins

HPLIP installs several executables. Have you made sure you have started the

I set this up a while ago but checked it again.  I don't see any way to
adjust the margins anywhere in hplip.  I even tried to set it up again
but basically all it does and see the printer and add it.  There's not
anything to set up really.

[gentoo-user] printer problem solved by new flag

[Philip Webb]

I've just successfully got my HP DJ-2510 printer to work after a struggle.
I updated Hplip recently  there's a new flag : USE=hpcups ;
in the printer dialog at Port 631, this needs to be chosen :
when I used the 'hpijs' filter, it refused to print with filter failed,
but when I chose 'hpcups' it went thro' properly.

I'm reporting this to help others who may run into the roadblock.

I believe allowing CUPS to handle it directly is the preferred
solution. Though that's not ideal if you're looking to, e.g. dump a
text file directly to /dev/lp0, or write syslog to a printer.

So, really, it depends on your use case. I expect the majority of
people would find they want CUPS to handle it.

 What kind of printer? How is it connected to the computer?

It's an old Samsung ML-1450, connected by a USB cable.  The printer, of
itself, works fine.  It prints on my mdev system.

 What USE flags do you have enabled for the CUPS build?

# emerge -pv cups gives:

In particular, I've got usb set there.  In my kernel config,

# CONFIG_USB_PRINTER is not set

, although I've tried setting it too, to no avail.

 If you re-emerge CUPS, it will spit some warnings at you if it detects
 problems with your kernel configuration.

It gave me no warnings.

Personally I prefer enabling USB printer support in kernel instead of

chokes when you shut off and on the printer many times. Once that

If you have HP printer, install hplip package. Read cups logs in

For my personal experience, I have yet to have a HP printer not work.
You can get the ink levels and such too.  It has a GUI thingy for that
but I think it has a command line tool as well, in case it is hooked to
a server or something with no GUI.

The way I buy a printer, I find the cartridges first.  Then I find a
printer that uses the cartridge.  My current printer uses the 74XL and
75XL cartridge.  Those are the high capacity ones.  They print about 3
times the pages.  I buy the generic ones and they are both cheaper and I
think they have more ink.  They certainly last longer than the HP ones.
 I did buy one set of HP XL ones since they were on sale locally.

If you can afford a laser printer up front, that is cheaper in the long
run, as others have already posted.  Just keep the printer in a
relatively dry location.  Read that as low humidity.  If you have
humidity problems, turn it on and let it warm up a few times a week.  I
did that at my friends business when the printers were in the basement.
 Real humid in there.  If left long enough, the print gets pretty bad.

Hope that helps.  Lots of option.

Get an HP Inkjet printer and buy a cartridge refill kit from eBay for
about $10. Also, ink for about the same price. It's so damn cheap,
cheaper than laser. Go for laser if you want high speed printing.

Refilling voids warranty, but nothing happens to the printer. I've
been using refilled cartridges on my HP PSC 1410 for seven years now.

You're welcome.  Have a look at the 1.4.4-r2 USE flags.  There's a usb flag 
there which allows cups to access raw usb devices directly - you may not need 
another driver for your printer.

[gentoo-user] Printer not working after world update

[Vincent Launchbury]

Hi list,

I've been using my printer problem free for years, but a recent world
update seems to have broken something. Now whenever I print I get:

   (/usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 1!
   [Job 129] Job stopped due to filter errors.

and the job eventually vanishes from the queue. I've tried reinstalling
(and later downgrading) foomatic-filters, ghostscript-gpl, and cups.
I've also tried deleting and re-adding the printer, restarting cups,
restarting the printer.. etc, and nothing seems to be helping.

The foomatic-rip script says the return code 1 means printer error
occured, but my printer's error light isn't flashing.

Also, revdep-rebuild shows nothing, and I do read ewarns. Hopefully I
haven't missed something obvious. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Vincent.

Current versions:
   foomatic-filters-3.0.20080507
   ghostscript-gpl-8.71-r1

 you are wrong, kernel with ehci only:

 [   31.592651] usb 1-3.1: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
 address 4

And the device works?

However, I refer to Universal Serial Bus EHCI Specification [1]
on page 3:
A USB 2.0 Host Controller includes one high-speed mode host controller and 0 
or more USB 1.1 host controllers (see Figure 1-2). The high-speed host 
controller implements an EHCI interface. It is used for all high-speed 
communications to high-speed-mode devices connected to the root ports of the 
USB 2.0 host controller. This specification allows communications to Full- 
and Low-speed devices connected to the root ports of the USB 2.0 host 
controller to be provided by companion USB 1.1 host controllers.

and on page 4:
High-speed devices are always routed to and controlled by the EHCI host 
controller (eHC). When running and configured, the eHC is the default owner 
of all the root ports. The eHC and its driver initially detect all device 
attaches. It has additional control bits visible in each port register to 
manage the routing logic. For example: if the attached device is not a 
high-speed device, the eHC driver releases ownership of the port (and thus 
control of the device) to a companion host controller. For that port, 
enumeration starts over from the initial attach detect point and the device 
is enumerated under the cHC. Otherwise, the eHC retains ownership of the port 
and the device completes enumeration under the eHC.

It seems like all is as it must be :-) - see below. The printer declared
to be Full Speed, i.e. 12Mbit/s, and the speed is got. 

Just curious why printing is too slow (periodical lags between pages).
Probably, some cupsd tuning is needed (CPU eating is ~0%, of course).

Did you configure a printer in (I assume) cups?  If so, what does lpq

If you still need to setup a printer in cups, you should be able to do

It's possible you'd need to flip a switch when you want to print, but it would

Daniel,

Thanks for your quick reply.

 I couldn't think of a more complex solution right now, but
 couldn't you simply make your IP static? I've done it at work
 because our DNS was failing, simply copied the network
 configurations gained with DHCP and made it permanent...

Question: how does one *make* a static IP? I thought that IP was 
assigned by DHCP? Isn't that the way that DHCP works? It leases an IP 
to a specific computer, which then gives up that lease when it's done 
using it. At that point, DHCP is free to re-lease that same IP to 
whomever else requests it, correct? If that's the case, what would 
prevent another computer from accidentally obtaining that same IP?

Otherwise, if this is a viable solution, how do I make it work? I'm 
comfortable editing config files, but I just don't know where to go 
to do it.

Thanks again, all, for your help.

this is a more complicated question than it appears.  Let's say, for  
instance that you have an actual dhcp server, not just a router/ap  
giving out ips.  Now, most dhcp servers allow you to either  
statically, or dynamically, associate an IP with a MAC address  
(hardware address).  I can set my dhcp server up such that you ALWAYS  
get the same ip address for a given mac address.  This is helpful in  
some cases where you have more ip space than machines and want to  
know who gets what.  I can either do that by manually adding the mac  
into the configuration, or by making an infinate lease time.  in both  
cases, you've got a static dynamic address :)


if you have more machines than ip space (a class C subnet has on the  
order of 254 possible addresses), you have to have dynamic dhcp for  
those.  in that case, you have a much shorter lease time, and when a  
box comes on, it asks for the last address it has, and the dhcp  
server says yes if no one is using it, or no, use this one if  
it's in use.


however, IP is NOT limited to using dhcp.  you can manually set your  
machine to have a given ip address (since this is the gentoo list,  
it's in the /etc/conf.d/net file).  if you're manually setting an ip  
address, you do have to be careful that you're not setting it in the  
range that the dhcp server will assign.


email me offline if you need more detail than thatip theory in  
general is a little off-topic.

netbios name). You will then be able to print locally from the Linux
box via CUPS and you can install the printer just like any other
shared printer (\\your_gentoo_box\printer_name) under Windows. Gentoo
has excellent Samba setup howtos if you need more info. In this case
you break no rules and there is no complex DNS setup stuff. Hope all
this makes some sense.

Well, this is more of a server solution than a workstation one, you'll
probably turn your computer off once in a while. DHCP wil not give
anyone an IP that is already in use (its against TCP/IP rules), so, if
you have your machine running with an IP, DHCP will not lease it (at
least I think so because my machine never conflited).

 to a specific computer, which then gives up that lease when it's done
 using it. At that point, DHCP is free to re-lease that same IP to

Yes, if your DHCP sends a DHCP_RELEASE command to the server, it will
give up that IP and it will be available for another computer.

 prevent another computer from accidentally obtaining that same IP?

You just never RELEASE the IP, and when it expires you LEASE it again,
and DHCP cache will always try to get the last IP, of course, I've
done it in a server running all the time, first I tried RELEASING and
automatic LEASING it again in TIMEOUT seconds (where timeout is the
LEASE time minus a few seconds, it alll depends on how big is your
server's lease time), I've created a script to do that, but deleted it
long ago. Then I decided to simply configure /etc/resolv.conf,
/etc/conf.d/net and /etc/hosts so I would have an static IP, and let
TCP/IP do the rest (not allow the DHCP server to LEASE that IP to
someone else). I couldn't find anywhere in the web if that SHOULD
work, it just does, for me.


 Otherwise, if this is a viable solution, how do I make it work? I'm
 comfortable editing config files, but I just don't know where to go
 to do it.


You ifconfig to get the IP your're using right now and the Netmask
used in your network environment. Then you edit the /etc/conf.d/net
file to configure your ethernet interface to have a static IP, using
the one you're already using from DHCP and set the netmask you got
from ifconfig, and let be your /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts that
were written by the DHCP client.

 Thanks again, all, for your help.

Well, in fact, I think it does. I forgot that the main problem was in

Samba will broadcast netbios stuff over the net so you can see your

 Samba will broadcast netbios stuff over the net so you can see your

 Back before in-home networks were practical, my dad had a little gray

 front - A/B.  I think that box was for the old parallel printer ports,
 but I'd imagine that if you go down to Best Buy or another computer
 store they'd have something similar for sharing a USB device between
 multiple machines.

Now a days they usually call such devices KVM switches.  Although, that may 
be a term specific to boxes like that which allow a monitor, keyboard, and 
mouse to be shared between all the computers in a rack.

All,

Samba proved to be a very simple and effective fix. Plus, as was said 
earlier, it doesn't break any of the rules that my school has in 
place.

Thanks again, all, for your help.

[gentoo-user] Printer Sharing with Samba

[Kris Kerwin]

Hi folks!

I have a quick question.

I'm a college student. I share my printer with my roommate. We have 
separate computers; he uses Windows XP, and I Gentoo. Together, we're 
behind our school's router which dynamically assigns us both IP's.

Currently, in order to share our printer, we simply unplug it from one 
another's computers. However, we would like to be able to share it 
over the network instead to make life easier for the both of us. 
However, there are a few problems that I'm foreseeing.

First off, I have a laptop with only one ethernet port, so setting up 
an ad hoc network between us is out of the question. Also, my school 
has a one port - one computer rule that prohibits routers.

Second, since we're both behind a DHCPd server, we both have dynamic 
IPs. There's no easy way to point his computer to the right server if 
it has a dynamic IP.

Third, since we're both behind a router, using something like DynDNS 
to provide a static contact despite the dynamic IP won't work either.

So, I guess what I'm wondering is if there's any way to make this 
work, or if I'm SOL?

Thank you much for your help.

[gentoo-user] printer won't stop puking

[Robert Persson]

My (parallel port laser) printer started spewing garbage (i.e. pcl data as 
text - a few characters per sheet) as a result, I think, of a loose cable.

Trouble is I can't stop it. I cleared the print jobs. Even stopped cups. Tried 
to rmmod parport_pc and lp, but was refused. Tried pressing the stop and 
reset buttons on the printer many times. Nothing doing. The only thing that 
stops the flow is disconnecting the parallel cable.

I'm about to reboot, hoping that that will do the trick. But surely there's a 
way to stop the diarrhoea without rebooting, isn't there?

One of the very few shortcomings of cups is that it is very hard to delete an 
active print job. :-(

Don't, it won't help. Do a ps ax | less and try to find everything remotely 
related to printing and converting. Kill all those processes - there will be 
several.

At times you also have to go to the cups cache directory and delete the
print job there as well, as on restart it stats the printjob from the
beginning again.  They really need to fix this ...

When I shut down cupsd the printer continued spewing. Also, when I rebooted, 
the printing didn't start up again. I don't understand how this could be a 
cups problem in that case.

[gentoo-user] Printer configuration for Flash

[Willie Wong]

Hum, does anyway know how to set up the printer configuration for the
Macromedia Flash plugin? 

Someone wrote a nifty flash page from which he offered a print button
to print the content generated. Unfortunately, it seems to only want
to send the job to lpr, without an option to print to file. Right
clicking on the flash widget doesn't help, since the Setup option
isn't very well done. 

Two problems are encountered:

  1) I don't have a printer on this box. cupsd was left over from a
  long time ago when I did. So lpr really wouldn't do any good. It
  would be nice if I could print to file and copy it to be printed
  elsewhere. 

  2) Even if I do have a printer, the print command still won't work,
  since there kept popping up an error:

lpr: error - unknown option ''!

  I assume there was an environmental variable the plugin is reading,
  possibly in trying to determine which printer to print to, and that
  included passing a single-quote enclosed string to lpr

Temporarily I have the problem solved in a very non-elegant way: I
replaced /usr/bin/lpr with a stub entry that is basically a
shellscript that calls 'cat' and dumps the output to a file in /tmp

But I hope there is a better solution...

Thanks, 

W

I restarted cupsd  with debug2 and produced way too much data, the

Hi Creighton,

I've had a problem like this before.  In my case there
were several drivers to choose from (I use the kde
print wizard).  I picked another driver and
ghostscript was happy after that.

 Sounds like you need to edit /etc/hosts to tell the system that tux is a

 ought to do it.

Yes, that would be a problem G.  Check /var.log/cups/ for the log files 
and see what they say.

It no longer tells me that it cannot find tux but it still says that

I would first open the CUPS administration web interface
(http://localhost:631 in your web browser) and see if the printer had
some stuck jobs in the queue, and stop them if so. If that didn't work,
I might even go so far as to remove the installed printer, stop CUPS,
restart CUPS, reopen the web interface and reinstall the printer.


I can't, cupsd dies quickly.





Well, that's a problem.

At what point does it die (what are you doing when it dies), and what
does it say with its dying breath (error message)?

 Sounds like you need to edit /etc/hosts to tell the system that tux is a
 synonym for localhost:
 
 127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost tux
 
 ought to do it.
 
 Hope this helps,

Have you emerged hpoj and hoijs, and added hpoj to default?

Have you read -

and -

Are there any clues in the log files in /var/log/cups/ ?

I have done all of these things, or tried anyway.

 Take a walk over to http://www.linuxprinting.org/ it will answer every
 question you have...

 I am feeling helpful this evening so here:

 1. Your printer should work perfectly
 http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_722C

 2. Cups guide:
 http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html

 Pretty much emerge cups and download the ppd file for your printer
 from here:
 http://www.linuxprinting.org/ppd-o-matic.cgi?driver=pnm2ppaprinter=HP-DeskJet_722Cshow=0
 than copy that into /usr/share/cups/model/ than restart the cups
 daemon. Now open up firefox or what ever internet browser you use and
 type: http://localhost:631/admin login as root. Select Add Printer and
 yeah go from there...

 That should help you get it working or at least on the right track...

 Hope it helps
 Cheers
 Rav
