HP PSC 1315 - Printer detected under CUPs but not working (hplip/hpijs driver)
Edit:
This problem has been solved by me. I have googled around and found that many others have similar problems. Read the problem description below. If you have similar problems printing/scanning with the HP PSC 1310 device (I cannot say whether other HP MFD models will work with this)
I just installed CUPS and hplip/hpijs for the HP PSC 1315 multifunction printer that I have. The driver recommended was hplip on one website and hpijs on another. So I installed both through synaptic.
When I click on print test page in CUPs web-interface or through the HP printer manager (hp-toolbox), I get the following message in jobs
Code:
processing since
Tue Jun 7 07:33:19 2005
But there is no activity in the printer. I am unable to find a solution to this. Is there anything that I have to do or diagnose to find out the solution to this problem?
I can confirm that when the printer is switched off, CUPs identifies this state and gives a message saying that
Code:
"open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds..."
Device URI: hp:/usb/psc_1310_series_?serial=MY524CC1F0O2
The printer works fine under Windows. Can anybody help me?
Regards.

HP PSC 1315 Printer Issues
I would suggest first uninstalling both drivers, and try the hpijs driver. If that one doesn't work, uninstall it and try the other. The HCL here on linuxquestions.org claims that the hpijs driver is the one to use with that printer.
I have that printer myself, though I haven't tried to use it with Linux yet... I don't have a working linux machine at this point
I'll keep everyone up to date on this. I searched google/linux and found a similar thread at justlinux.com but nobody seems to have a solution to this.
Success! Printing and scanning both work with the device HP PSC 1315 Multifunction Printer under Linux. These instructions apply for local USB setup only. Instructions may be different for setting up a remote network printer.
NOTE: If you are a Debian user like me , save yourself all the trouble and install CUPS, hpijs, hpoj, sane and other related programs from apt-get or synaptic. All required packages are available from the Debian repositories.
<--- BEGIN Debian Related Instructions --->
What (Debian) packages you need (you may not need some of them, but I installed them anyway. Some packages may also be installed as dependencies, but I cannot remember all that so I'm listing them all here )
hpijs
hpoj
hpoj-xojpanel
sane
sane-utils
libsane
libsane-extras
Packages related to CUPS
In general, search for all CUPS related packages. If you feel that you may need them, install them. Does no harm at all if you install anything extra. If you don't use Debian, continue below and follow generic installation instructions from the links below. <--- END Debian Related Instructions --->
For scanning install the hpoj drivers and then when configuring the device (post-installation), keep the device switched on. This will automatically recognize the device and that's it! All you need to do is to test scan an image using kooka or xsane!
Notes:[list=1][*]You might need to restart the CUPS daemon a few times during the installation process. For this the command is as shown in the next point.[*]Both printing and scanning will work. However, note that sometimes after scanning, printing might not work. The error message might be that the USB port is busy. Try turning off and then turning on the device and if this doesn't work restart the CUPS daemon as root.
Code:
/etc/init.d/cupsys restart
(Slackware users might have to type /etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart or a similar command.
Keep the device switched off after installing the hpijs driver while adding the printer device using CUPS (Type http://localhost:631 in your browser for CUPS setup). Please select the printer device as (in case you are using a local USB printer) USB Printer #1 in the CUPS printer setup. Make sure that the device URI is usb:/dev/usb/lp0.
Keep the device switched on when installing the hpoj drivers. This will automatically detect the device connected to USB port and you need perform no other steps. Just take a sample scan from kooka or xsane to make sure it works.
Best of luck to anybody reading this. If you need any help, please post in this thread

Thanks for the detail instructions. My printer works, but using CUPS to configure HP PSC 1315/1310 doesn't show up in "Model/Driver for HPPSC1310. Also, the device URI is: ptal:mlc:usbsc_1310_series_. Mandriva 10.1 is the OS.
What are the commands to print from Firefox and Adobe Reader?
The printing seems to work under Firefox for me. At least the printer seems to respond when I give the print command. I haven't tested with an actual paper yet.
What does the "printer" field say under Firefox?
Also is your printer URI in CUPS?
It should be usb:/dev/usb/lp0 if it is a USB connected printer. This is very important.
One thing I didn't mention, there's another printer listed (right now it's not hooked up to the computer)
Once USB Printer #2 was selected, the rest was as you said.
CUPS-1.1.21-0.rc.1.7.4 is the version installed. (It's not the lastest, but this should still work, shouln't it?)
With the configuration as it is now, I can't print.
Under "Forum Rules" it says "You may not post attachements." So I can't post the screenshoot, but basically what it shows is listed below.
