I have an HP OfficeJet 7310xi with a network interface.
According to
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/inkjet_aio.html, this is
a supported device
but I can't get it to work (entirely).
/etc/hosts
192.168.0.5 officejet
I tried hp-setup but it couldn't find a PPD for my printer
hp-setup --makeuri=officejet
:
Found device: hp:/net/Officejet_7300_series?ip=192.168.0.5
:
Using queue name: Officejet_7300

Choose a PPD file that most closely matches your device:

number on the device.)

I tried to Add Printer from http://localhost:631/printers with similar
results
Name: Officejet_7300
Location: desktop
Description: HP OfficeJet 7310xi
Device: AppSocket/HP JetDirect
Device URI: hp:/net/Officejet_7300_series?ip=192.168.0.5
# copied from hp-makeuri officejet
Make: HP
Model: # nothing close!
I tried /usr/sbin/system-config-printer and it finds a PPD
Queue name
Name: officejet
Short description: HP OfficeJet 7310xi
Queue type
Select a queue type: Networked JetDirect
Printer: officejet
Port: 9100
Printer model
HP
OfficeJet 7300
Evidently, this PPD file is automatically generated from
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-OfficeJet_7300.xml as there is
no difference:
foomatic-ppdfile -p HP-OfficeJet_7300 | diff
/etc/cups/ppd/officejet.ppd /dev/stdin
Although I can print, I cannot do much else.
For example, the HP Device Manager fails:
hp-toolbox
HP Device Manager - No Installed HP Devices
No installed HP devices found.
To install a device, use the CUPS web interface
(http://localhost:631)
or the printer installation utility that came with your
operating system.
:
Note: Only devices installed with the hp: CUPS backend will
appear in the HP Device Manager.
This is interesting:
egrep 'hplip|hpijs' /etc/cups/ppd/*
*% You may save this file as 'HP-OfficeJet_7300-hpijs.ppd'
*ShortNickName: "HP OfficeJet 7300 hpijs"
*NickName: "HP OfficeJet 7300 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)"
*FoomaticIDs: HP-OfficeJet_7300 hpijs
USE -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs%A%B%C -dIjsUseOutputFD%Z
-sOutputFi&&
So, using the "printer installation utility that came with [my]
operating system", it appears that the cups interface to the printer
uses HPIJS instead of the hp: CUPS backend to HPLIP.
However, using "the CUPS web interface" doesn't work either because
there is no suitable PPD.
Help!
