[opensuse] hplip suse10.0 HP f335 create print queue failure
Hardware: HP F335 Printer, Scanner, Copier Software installer: hplip-1.6.12.run hplip version: rpm -q hplip hplip-0.9.4-4 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. Scanner is available under kooka, and test scan worked. Printing is not setup. How do I go about getting my print queue set up and defining the correct ppd file for printing. Side question: even though the scanner works in kooka, YaST2 scanner shows it as unconfigured. What's up with this situation, what impact does/could it have on other scanning software? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Known issue but unknown reason therefore no real solution yet, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/howtos/known.html

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 </usr/share/cups/model/<PPD file name>

This is strange but I would silently ignore it as long as it works.

It seems that using YaST for anything other than deleting the printer causes it to lock and become unusable unless re-installed. I have tried three times to print a test page from this,but the printer just nuked.

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).

Set up the queue: # lpadmin -p <queue-name> -v <DeviceURI> -E \ -P </usr/share/cups/model/<PPD file name>
This worked quite nicely with a few minor adjustments. The end result for the command is as such: lpadmin -p HP-F335 -v hp:/usb/Deskjet_F300_series?serial=CN69JJZ0YN04VQ -E \ -P /usr/share/ppd/HP/HP-DeskJet_F300-hpijs.ppd.gz Note the location of the ppd.gz file was slightly different.

This has resolved itself, YaST2 does now show the scanner as being configured, but also as an unconfigured scanner in a separate entry. Using hp-toolbox I have been able to check the ink levels, print a test page and launch x-sane for scanning. I would call this a success as it is doing what I desire.

I assume this is because you built HPLIP from the sources or you got an RPM from whatever download source. Usually all PPDs must be located under /usr/share/cups/model/ so that CUPS and printer config tools know about them. Isn't there no symlink from whatever sub-directory under /usr/share/cups/model/ to /usr/share/ppd/HP/?
