Printing to an IP Printer in Fedora Core 2
ok, so i'm running fedora core 2. the kernal number is 2.6.8-1.521. the printer i'm trying to connect to is a HP LaserJet 5si
i'm trying to connect to my printer at work, which is setup as an ip printer. i've tried adding it in the printer configuration using networked cups (ipp) as the queue type. i put in the rest of the information (printer manufactor and model number). however, no test page ever came out of the printer. this is what was in the log file: Code:
I [17/Nov/2004:15:09:24 -0700] Adding start banner page "none" to job 1. Code:
Network hot '128.187.136.111' is busy; wil retry 30 seconds...INFO: Connecting to 128.187.136.111 on port 631... |
Which driver did you choose? What is the queue that you used?
good luck. |
the driver that i picked is hpijs
the queue type is: Networked CUPS (IPP) Server: 128.187.136.111 Path: /printers/queue1 |
Looks like the correct driver, what does the following command return?
lpinfo -v ENTER good luck. |
when i type lpinfo -v , and get a message saying bash: lpinfo: command not found. however, i have a man page about this command, so i figure that it must be there somewhere. ideas? btw, please excuse my :newbie: -ness.
|
Try issuing it as root or su -.
good luck. |
hmm...no, issuing the lpinfo -v command as root didn't do anything different
|
Try using this.
/usr/sbin/lpinfo -v good luck. |
thanks. i finally got the command to work. here's the ouput (although i'm quite sure what this means):
network socket network http network ipp network lpd direct canon:/dev/lp0 direct epson:/dev/lp0 direct parallel:/dev/lp0 direct ptal direct scsi serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200 serial serial:/dev/ttyS1?baud=115200 serial serial:/dev/ttyS2?baud=115200 serial serial:/dev/ttyS3?baud=115200 serial serial:/dev/ttyS4?baud=115200 serial serial:/dev/ttyS5?baud=115200 serial serial:/dev/ttyS6?baud=115200 serial serial:/dev/ttyS7?baud=115200 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp0 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp1 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp2 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp3 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp4 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp5 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp6 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp7 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp8 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp9 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp10 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp11 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp12 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp13 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp14 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp15 network smb on a side note: how do i make it so that i can just type lpinfo -v and not have to give the whole path? |
Can you ping the printer?
ping -c4 128.187.136.111 good luck. |
