[opensuse] which hplip should I install?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just got my new printer, an HP Color laserjet Cp1515n (the demo page says "cp1510 series). Yast detects it: Description: Color-LaserJet-CP3505 Location: Printer Driver: HP Color LaserJet CP3505 Postscript (recommended) Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, not published. Device URI: usb://HP/Color%20LaserJet%20CP1515n This prints correctly, it seems, but the options listed are incorrect (not the same printer). According to the hplip page, this printer is supported by hplip: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/models/color_laserjet/hp_color_laserjet_cp1515n... ] HP Color LaserJet cp1515n ] ] Supported by HPLIP (requires HPLIP version 2.8.5 or later). opensuse 11.0 has 2.8.4, so I need to update. Where from? I know that packman has it, but I do not want to activate the entire packman. Or should I just use the "Automatic Installer: HPLIP Self Extracting Installer" from "http://hplip.sourceforge.net/downloads.html"? (hp-setup does not find it, says "HP_Color_LaserJet_CP1515n attributes found in /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat" in the log; I do need to update.) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

And there is also "Print Class: LJColor,Postscript". It is a PostScript printer and you don't need any driver at all for normal printing - only the right PPD file - that is all. But if you need extra features (e.g. what hp-toolbox offers) you should set it up with "hp-setup" (run it as root) to make sure it gets a "hp:/..." device URI (and not a generic "usb:/..." device URI which does not work for hp-toolbox).

Currently I am a bit late (I provide only 2.8.5 but this should be o.k. for you) but another even more friendly openSUSE member provides already the latest hottest best version 2.8.7 ;-) By the way: I like the openSUSE build service.

I'll have a look. [...] I don't find it. The usb device is listed in the cups device drop list as: "HP Color LaserJet CP1515n USB#1 (HP Color LaserJet CP1515n)" and if I choose that, I don't see that generic print class in the next droplist. If I try from Yast, I don't know what make/model to choose either. The current choice, cp3505, works fine (postscript), but I have to be careful not to choose an option that is not supported by my printer. It will suffice till I update the driver.
It is a PostScript printer and you don't need any driver at all for normal printing - only the right PPD file - that is all.

It fails, because the printer is unknown to its database.

Right.

Yes. Again this doesn't help you but it is the truth that you don't know in advance what kind of quality RPMs from whoever's repository are.

A nice example that the same repository can contain totally different kind of quality RPMs. E.g. HPLIP is much better tested than pkpgcounter. I only packaged the latter so that it builds (someone asked for it) but have no time for anything else.

Ah, it is the printer complaining and wasting a good piece of paper. They could have added a bigger LCD display... and charge 100€ more. Better not. :-}

I don't think so. The self test page says these personalities and otions are installed: PCLXL (20040201) PS (20040201) PCL (20040201) DIMM Slot 1: empty And in settings, the personality is set to "Auto".

Yes, it prints :-)

Good question!
Or does "HP Postscript level 3 emulation" perhaps mean that PostScript is only emulated by the (Windows) driver? Please test as described above whether or not this device really understands PostScript.
I thought the same. It does understand postscript. While I was shopping around I was baffled by that statement for some time, but I thought that as it has almost 100Mb of ram chances are it has an interpreter. It also specifies the list of fonts contained internally, when in some other models it says that it depends on the fonts of the host computer, and they have about 16 MB ram. Plus some friends told me that that paragragh is typical HP parlance. And I run your test which confirmed it :-) It might be that the interpreter is not licensed or something :-? Who knows.
By the way II: Have in mind that HPLIP is made only by a few people at HP (i.e. one cannot expect that they can test any model really thorougly). Therefore I think it would help them very much when many many users of HPLIP write to the HP management that they buy HP printers because there is a actively maintained free Linux driver.
Right! Now I need email addresses. I'll use my ieee alias ;-) You know, I can not even register the product because as I did not run their installer CD, I haven't been asked. Funny! Although they know that I bought it, I did it directly from them. I need time to read that CD. Sigh... time is an scarce comodity. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I provide for testing HPLIP version 2.8.7 (packages hplip-2.8.7 and hplip-hpijs-2.8.7) for openSUSE 10.2, openSUSE 10.3, openSUSE 11.0 and for the openSUSE development version "FACTORY" for 32-bit Intel compatible (i586) and 64-bit AMD (x86_64) via the openSUSE build service at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/ In particular for openSUSE 11.0 for 32-bit Intel compatible computers it is available at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/openSUSE_11.0/i586/ The packages are * only for testing * without any guarantee or warranty * without any support As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer center crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem. On the other hand this does not mean that those packages are known to be terrible broken but they are not thoroughly tested so that any unexpected issue can happen. For example I did only a quick test with a HP LaserJet 1220 all-in-one device on a 32-bit workstation with openSUSE 11.0 so that whatever mess might happen otherwise. Do not use FACTORY if your system is 10.2 10.3 or 11.0. Use the matching package for your particular system. FACTORY is not better, it is worse when you have openSUSE 10.2 10.3 or 11.0. Using whatever packages from FACTORY in a openSUSE 10.2 10.3 or 11.0 system causes crashes in arbitrary cases because you would also need the base system from FACTORY. You can easily mess up your openSUSE 10.2 10.3 or 11.0 system with FACTORY updates. In case of problems the RPM changelog via rpm -q --changelog hplip might provide hints which change cause an issue in particular on older systems (openSUSE 10.2 10.3). The version number 2.8.7 is higher than the version of the original packages in openSUSE 10.2 10.3 or 11.0 so that you may have to remove installed hplip-2.8.7 and hplip-hpijs-2.8.7 packages manually using (as root) rpm -e --nodeps hplip hplip-hpijs before you could re-install the original packages for openSUSE 10.2 10.3 or 11.0.

I know the drill :-) Ok, I installed and it worked. So far so good. Nothing exploding here, so far. All four "flavours". I had to reinstall all of them because because the device uri had changed in between and because cups reported the old drivers in the configuration. Printer Driver: HP Color LaserJet cp1515n Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.7.3 Printer Driver: HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series Postscript (recommended) Printer Driver: HP Color LaserJet cp3505 Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.7.3 Printer Driver: HP Color LaserJet CP3505 Postscript (recommended) Notice that both 1510 and 1515 are the same model: that's why your search/grep did not find the ppd in factory. I have four settings because the 1515's have too few options (some are missing, like resolution in postscript), and the 3505's have to many, some of them the printer do not have (like three trays or duplex). I also browsed the install CD, but I did not see any ppd file. Most are compressed cab files and exes, so probably I will not see anything unless I install it for windows - and my windows is too old to cope, I'm afraid (Win-Me).
The version number 2.8.7 is higher than the version of the original packages in openSUSE 10.2 10.3 or 11.0 so that you may have to remove installed hplip-2.8.7 and hplip-hpijs-2.8.7 packages manually using (as root)

I found a ppd in the CD; in the ".../Drivers/Win2K_XP_Vista/" directories there are a lot of *cab files, and expanding them with "cabextract" I got a HPC1510S.PPD file, which looks promising, but is useless. Creating a printer in cups with it results in a printer that uses the driver "Local System V Printer", with only two configurable options: Banners and Policies. I don't know if there is another file in some other cab archive.

For HPLIP bugs (i.e. when you have the feeling that it is their software which doesn't work and not my packaging of HPLIP or our YaST or CUPS or the USB system or...) and/or if you have a support question regarding HPLIP see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/mailing_lists.html In particular when the device prints using the HPLIP driver (the printer driver in HPLIP is called "hpijs") but the outputdoesn't look as you expect, it is usually a problem in their driver which we cannot fix (usually we don't have the printer model so that we cannot even reproduce it) so that it is recommeded to contact the HPLIP team directly.

Hi,
I just got my new printer, an HP Color laserjet Cp1515n (the demo page says "cp1510 series).
Yast detects it:
Description: Color-LaserJet-CP3505 Location: Printer Driver: HP Color LaserJet CP3505 Postscript (recommended) Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, not published. Device URI: usb://HP/Color%20LaserJet%20CP1515n
This prints correctly, it seems, but the options listed are incorrect (not the same printer).
According to the hplip page, this printer is supported by hplip:
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/models/color_laserjet/hp_color_laserjet_cp1515n...
] HP Color LaserJet cp1515n ] ] Supported by HPLIP (requires HPLIP version 2.8.5 or later).
opensuse 11.0 has 2.8.4, so I need to update. Where from? I know that packman has it, but I do not want to activate the entire packman.
Or should I just use the "Automatic Installer: HPLIP Self Extracting Installer" from "http://hplip.sourceforge.net/downloads.html"?
(hp-setup does not find it, says "HP_Color_LaserJet_CP1515n attributes found in /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat" in the log; I do need to update.)

Carlos, Were I in your shoes, I would definitely try sourceforge first. If I could use something and _not_ activate the packman repo, that would be my first choice. After looking, looks like the automatic installer is worth the first shot: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hplip/hplip-2.8.7.run -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Its my first day with it, I have to try options to find the ones that work best. I don't want to have to investigate why a page does not print right when I do have to print a page for real. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
