Dear All,
I am trying to test HPLIP drivers by trying to unlock full
functionality of Photosmart C5250 which is one of
the all-in-one devices from the Photosmart C5200 series. HPLIP builds
without hitch on 4.3 Beta. The same goes for CUPS, SANE-backhands,
XSane, foomatic-filters, foomatic-db, engine.
Unfortunately the hp-setup doesn't see the printer. The all-in-one is
not usable as scanner as well.
I have disabled ulpt driver and umass drivers from the kernel and hpssd
is started before the cupsd. I read
installation message very carefully. It is excellent! I am attaching
dmesg, hp-check.log, and sane-find-scanner.
On the positive note printer is fully functional with CUPS and PPD file
generated from the fomatic-db as long as ulpt driver is left in the kernel.
I must say that unless umass driver is disabled printer is recognized by
the kernel as umass even when ulpt driver is in kernel. Also if I remove
ulpt driver the printer is still sing as umass. Only after I remove both
drivers the printer is
seeing as ugen device. Can somebody direct me if it is possible to
reverse the priority of driver in kernel or
make certain device invisible for umass driver?
Also the good news is that foomatic-db engine and foomatic-filter are
fully functional.
I was able to rip PPD files for Photosmart C5250 and LaserJet 4L. I was
able to print on both printers using CUPS.
I was also able to print on LaserJet 4L with LPD using foomatic-rip as
input filter in my printcap file.
I didn't bother to try foomatic filter for Photosmart C5250 but I see no
reason why would not work.
I am stamped by the inability of HPLIP to see the printer. I will try to
get some older OfficeJet series
all-in-one to see if I can unlock full functionality.
Most Kind Regards,
Predrag Punosevac
P. S. The above is an extraordinary example of how ridiculous is trying
to compensate bad hardware (non PostScript
printers and proprietary scanning language) with very complicated software.
