Situation: hp-setup failed to create the print queue, and displays the dialog box "failed to create printer queue, please restart CUPS." and restarting CUPS did not resolve the issue.
Known issue but unknown reason therefore no real solution yet, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/howtos/known.html
How do I go about getting my print queue set up and defining the correct ppd file for printing.
Using YaST or a manual setup of the print queue should work. For a really manual setup use "lpadmin", see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell Short summary: To be safe restart the cupsd: # rccups restart Run the CUPS backend directly and note the DeviceURI like: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp direct hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1220?serial=00XXXXXXXXXX "HP LaserJet 1220" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The DeviceURI is here 'hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1220?serial=00XXXXXXXXXX' (i.e. the second item which is output). Find a PPD file: # lpinfo -m | grep hpijs Choose a suitable PPD file and note the PPD file name. Set up the queue: # lpadmin -p <queue-name> -v <DeviceURI> -E \ -P
Side question: even though the scanner works in kooka, YaST2 scanner shows it as unconfigured.
This is strange but I would silently ignore it as long as it works.
