Hello The printer I am trying to install is a hewlett-packard officejet v40 on Suse 7.3 I went to yast2 and then choose autodetect printers. When it was finished it found Hewlett-Packard Office Jet V40 on usb port (/dev/usb/lp2vendor=03f0prod_id=0f11) When I tried to test the configuration it does not respond. In other words when I tried to print a test page, I get a message saying "Test page being sent to the printer......" but nothing is printing out. I have been working on this most of the morning and can not seem to get the printer configured. Can anyone make some suggestions on what I am either doing wrong or what else I might need to do. Thanks in advance. Respectfully, -- Bob B

I just tried it and unfortunately it did not work. It is ok. I decided to use the older printer which I know works. I now have it up and runing and with the network printing to it. That printer is a hp deskjet 672c. When I get some more time I will go back to trying getting the new printer on. Thanks for your suggestions. -- Bob B BMT Solutions
hi, DId you check /etc/printcap? When you have an occurence of "lp0" in the file, replace it, if it was not made automatically, by "usblp0". It's the way to have a lexmark z52 USB working. HTH. -- Yves Baudrier Linux registered user # 182046

Hi Robert, The whole stuff with theses all-purpose boxes appears to be not that easy. There is a lot of docs with the hpoj-package, which is supposed to talk to this printer ... supposed to. It won't automagically do so:-((. I just wrote an answer to a guy really frustrated about this issue on the cups list, I'm just ccing you there. I am working on the V30 which is identical to the V40 with only some minor restrictions. Cheers ....

Hi Bob,
Your problem is nearly identical to mine. Did you come any further in
the meantime?
Well, for the beginning I can only recommend you to check if hpoj-0.8-23
from the SuSE 7.3 CDs is installed, and check the documentation which is
stored in /usr/share/doc/packages/hp-officeJet then.
This is a lot of stuff to be checked, and the biggest trouble IMHO is to
find out which things you really need to do and what is just reference
for experts (e.g. if one additional daemon will be started on reboot, it
doesn't bother me what this daemon will be doing as long as it does what
I need ...I only want to know what I have to do in order to make it work
...) Well, I contacted the developers list

Well, I contacted the developers list
about the issues I have in the moment. What you need to do manually (acc. to my poor experience) is:
- create both /dev/ptal-mlcd and /dev/ptal-printd directories, since somehow the SuSE rpm fails to create these (Why??). Permissions root lp 660 - create the print queue file, like this: ptal-printd mlc:usb:OfficeJet_V40 -like /dev/lp0 - hack /etc/cups/printers.conf that way: (...) <Printer usb_lp> Info Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet V40 Location USB port (/dev/ptal-printd/mlc_usb_OfficeJet_V40) DeviceURI usb:/dev/usblp0 (...) Location USB-port might have been /dev/usblp0 as well!

Thanks a lot for the info. At present I have had to put it on the back burner. I have some higher priority projects have to finish. But you have given me some excellent direction on where to proceed. Thanks again. -- Bob B BMT Solutions

Hi Bob, In the meantime I have even compiled a new ghostscript version 6.52 from source, with integration of ijs support - some progress, though no breakthrough. The information about this is on: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php#verifyghost which IMHO contains a little mistake - see appendix. Postponing this issue seems an excellent idea, since I almost believe this is gonna be a trip like or even worse than the CD-R story ... now it should be easy with the 7.3 autodetection, but remember the trouble with manual setup of SCSI-emulation before ... rewind the endless threads ... In SuSE 8.2 we will have fully-automatic support for HPOJ all-in-one devices and nobody will remember the blood, sweat and tears it takes me now:-)). Well, I tend to fall back to this option for the worst case as well, since I got a SCSI scanner, I got an HP610C printer (to be correct ... my wife got one, and it's connected to our box ..), and fax© are working ... I only would like to take the HP610C to my other residence some day .... but it ain't urgent. Anyway, if there should be some progress, I'll report to the list ... Cheers .... Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@yahoo.com Appendix: Bug in documentation on http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php#verifyghost In section '5. Update Ghostscript if necessary' under d it reads: d. Make the following change to the ../gs/gs6.51/src/unix-gcc.mak file. from: cdj550.dev to: cdj550.dev ijs.dev It should read: from: $(DD)cdj550.dev to: $(DD)cdj550.dev $(DD)ijs.dev If you proceed as described, you miss one $(DD) in the makefile (the one before ijs.dev) and make will stop at this point. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
