HP USB printers are not supported

Open louies0623 opened this issue 2 years ago • 18 comments

I have an HP Deskjet 1010 printer and when I try to print a document, the system does not show any printers on it.

Can you add the printer in http://localhost:631/admin, by clicking on "Add printer" and adding a local HPLIP printer?

That model doesn't have internet printing function, only USB connection.

louies0623 avatar Jan 19 '23 07:01 louies0623

Yes. USB printers possibly need to be set up in CUPS in that way.

probonopd avatar Jan 20 '23 18:01 probonopd

Is there a way to make it plug and play, this is too much trouble. Moreover, CUPS does not have a search option on the hardware selection list, and it is very tiring to search line by line.

First step is to make it work at all. Does it work like this?

probonopd avatar Jan 22 '23 10:01 probonopd

20230122_185210 It doesn't respond when I press the "Apply" button here.

Maybe you need to use System -> Applications -> Preferences -> Print Settings

probonopd avatar Jan 22 '23 13:01 probonopd

I tried it, it didn't work.

louies0623 avatar Jan 24 '23 12:01 louies0623

Does your printer work on e.g., GhostBSD?

probonopd avatar Jan 24 '23 19:01 probonopd

Is working.
Plug and play, no configuration required. 20230126_100631

Can you find out why it works there but not here? Do they ship additional packages related to that printer? Do they run additional processes?

probonopd avatar Jan 26 '23 19:01 probonopd

Tell me how to check.

louies0623 avatar Feb 01 '23 13:02 louies0623

Again the question, can you add the printer in http://localhost:631/admin, by clicking on "Add printer" ?

probonopd avatar Feb 01 '23 18:02 probonopd

it works and can go next.

louies0623 avatar Feb 01 '23 19:02 louies0623

OK, great. Then we can remove the Gtk based application and link to that web page instead.

probonopd avatar Feb 01 '23 19:02 probonopd

Just one thing, on GhostBSD, if you use your link, you will end up with an error, you can only use the detect hardware option from the menu to be fine.

louies0623 avatar Feb 01 '23 19:02 louies0623

Just to be extra sure: On helloSystem can you add the printer in http://localhost:631/admin, by clicking on "Add printer" and it works?

probonopd avatar Feb 01 '23 22:02 probonopd

I can only confirm that it is still stuck on this problem in the Hello system. https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/issues/460

And ghostbsd is successfully adding the printer with the URL, but there is an error notification after adding the printer with the URL.
