[Bug 230493] New: HPLIP daemon should be started by default.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230493 Summary: HPLIP daemon should be started by default. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: 178155@glocalnet.net QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com During installation of OS 10.2 the hplip and hplip-hpijs packages were installed by default. The versions are 1.6.10-23. My HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C parallel printer is detected and installed by Yast2-printer module and is working. When I try to start the HP-Toolbox from the meny it just wont start, cursor turns into a bumping HP icon for about 30 seconds and then nothing happens? Running hp-toolbox in a terminal give this output: Copyright (c) 2003-6 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details. error: Unable to connect to HPLIP I/O. Check and make sure HPLIP is running. error: Unable to create client object. So I went into Yast edit runlevels and activated and started the service, then in a terminal rccups stop and rccups start as root. Tried hp-toolbox again and now it started. For a normal user this procedure is much to complicated, if an official package is installed during installation and there even is an icon in the start-meny it should work "out of the box". I've been nice today and marked this as an enhancement but I think it is very close to a "bug".. ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The problem is that currently there is no reliable autodetection method to detect HP all-in-one devices, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Set_up_a_HP_OfficeJet_%28%22all-in-one%22_device%... Additionally see bug #184798 item A) and https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=184798#c12 With the new hplip_api there might hopefully be a more reliable autodetection method to detect HP all-in-one devices. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 184798 *** -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
