Re: Configuring a HP Laserjet 1018 USB printer on KDE
Unfortunately for me neither http://localhost:631 or http://locaalhost:631/?
worked for me. I get error message Firefox can't establish a connection to
the server at localhost:631. for both.

Well, I beg to differ with you. That's one way to do it. Yours is
another.
To install the printer do the following
1. Alter permission on the device nodes chmod 0660 /dev/ulpt0
2. chgrp cupsd /dev/ulpt0
3. Add yourself to cupsd group by editing file /etc/groups
I didn't have to do any of this.
4. Move the commands of the native lpd printing system so that you can
use
CUPS commands
mv /usr/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp.bak
mv /usr/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr.bak
mv /usr/bin/lpq /usr/bin/lpq.bak
mv /usr/bin/lprm /usr/bin/lprm.bak
This is good advice, *if* the cups install has not already overwritten the
base
for you.
.if defined(CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE)
if test -e /usr/bin/lp; then ${CHMOD} -h 0 /usr/bin/lp; fi
if test -e /usr/bin/lpq; then ${CHMOD} -h 0 /usr/bin/lpq; fi
if test -e /usr/bin/lpr; then ${CHMOD} -h 0 /usr/bin/lpr; fi
if test -e /usr/bin/lprm; then ${CHMOD} -h 0 /usr/bin/lprm; fi
if test -e /usr/sbin/lpc; then ${CHMOD} -h 0 /usr/sbin/lpc; fi

4. Restart cupsd for instance by adding cupsd_enable=YES into your
/etc/rc.conf at the same time
disable lpd daemon by adding lpd_enable=NO
Also good advice.
5. Reboot
6. Point the web-browser to http://localhost:631 to add the printer
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. I got the source code for the
page
displayed in my browser. If I added a ? to the end (
http://localhost:631/?),
then the page was displayed.
NOTE:
1. Your printer is using foo2zjs reversed engineered driver which you
must
compile from ports. People
have reported mixed results with the driver! You have to compile the
driver
before you start adding the printer.
Seems to me, for HP printers, the hpijs driver is the right choice.
print/hpijs
2. You might need to disable your firewall or at least port 631 which is
used
by Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
which is in turned used by CUPS.
Only if you want to be a print server. If you're just printing from a
workstation, you don't need to worry about incoming traffic on 631.
Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from
manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is
correctly
installed and running. Error: localhost: read failed (14).
This sounds like he didn't put cupsd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf.
If I use LPR/LPRng things seem to be going well until I get to the
screen
asking for URI: I have no clue as to what it is asking for.
You might have to uninstall and reinstall cups. I did. The first time
didn't
work for some reason.
I used KDE's control center to set up the printer as well as the printer
manager. Everything worked fine after the initial failure and the
subsequent
reinstall.
