Thinkpad T520 with Debian 7 Wheezy Linux

Posted 02-28-2015 at 02:06 PM by floppy_stuttgart

I downloaded Debian7 stable 64bit lxde iso, from the debian download page https://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ , on a linux pc.
I installed the Debian iso on an usb stick with the program "unetbootin" (pc connected to the internet with a LAN cable).
I booted the pc from the usb and installed a parallel boot Win7 / Debian according that advice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYw3FUnh-CQ
a) I installed the realtek firmware on the pc in order to make the wifi working (it did not work out of the box) "apt-get install firmware-realtek" from the "non-free". The wifi is seen with "lspci -nn" "Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [10ec:8176] (rev 01)"
b) I installed gnome "apt-get install gnome"
c) I installed the flashplayer in iceweasel according https://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer

Finally, the wifi driver was not working stable, so I had to install another.
In a root terminal

I got a new printer/scanner and wanted to make it working for that thinkpad (the printer/scanner is installed on a raspberry pi server).
The hplip page http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...40_series.html
inform the version Minimum HPLIP version 3.13.8 should be used for my printer hp deskjet 2544 allinone 03f0:c211

On the raspbian server, the version of hplip is
"dpkg -s hplip"
Package: hplip
Code:
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 383
Maintainer: Debian HPIJS and HPLIP maintainers <pkg-hpijs-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: armhf
Version: 3.12.6-3.1+deb7u1 ....
For the reason I have issues in making that printer working (it printed one time and not again after making sane setups; it should print but there are no error and pages dont come out + scanimage -L dont work), I am installing the newest hplip version on my raspberry PI.

On the raspberry pi server
Quote:
sudo passwd
(give a root pw)
Quote:
sudo apt-get remove hplip
Quote:
sudo apt-get autoremove
Quote:
sudo reboot
Quote:
sh hplip-3.15.4.run
(dont run with sudo; have look here http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...os/debian.html and here https://www.liberiangeek.net/2014/04...more-printers/)
Quote:
make
(perhaps that step and next step is not necessary: the install script ended with a "memory..." error; it why I made both steps manually again)
Quote:
su -c "make install"
Quote:
su -c "usermod -a -G lp,lpadmin $USER"
(now disconnect usb and reconnect)
Quote:
sudo reboot
Quote:
sudo hp-setup -i
(follow http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web.../hp_setup.html)

With advices from http://dev.shyd.de/2011/03/debian-pr...lip-cups-sane/ and http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/SANE-Scanserver_im_Netzwerk and
on the raspberry pi server
