Slackware 12.2 HP PSC 1209 CUPS not printing
Howdy again folks.
After getting the udev issue resolved, I'm not stumped with a CUPS issue. Specs: Slackware 12.2 Kernel 2.6.27.7 custom build HP PSC 1209 connected via USB Using HPLIP and CUPS Printer is recognized and configures just fine when accessing from http://localhost:631. hpcheck and hp-info are all good. Problem - When printing from an application or localhost:631 the print jobs just get queued in /var/spool/cups and never get printed. This happens from root as well as user accounts. When trying to print a test page from the CUPS interface the printer stops and the error "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" is displayed next to the printer name. This is the result when printing from other apps as well (Gimp, OpenOffice, etc...) The connection to the printer is good as firing off 'hp-align' from the command prompt shoots out the alignment page in perfect quality. I also took Didier Spaier's suggestion, from another thread, of trying the stock kernel. Booted the hugesmp for Slack 12.2 and the same results happened. Back to my custom config at the moment. At the end of this message is the error_log dump (with LogLevel=debug) from an attempt to print a test page from CUPS. Any ideas? Thanks all! error_log: D [13/Feb/2009:21:23:50 -0800] cupsdReadClient: 6 GET /printers/psc_1200?op=print-test-page HTTP/1.1 D [13/Feb/2009:21:23:50 -0800] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.

Hi Antitu,
as I saw a dBus connection error in your logs, I stopped dBus (/etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus stop), then tried to print a test page from localhost:631. I got the "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" message. When I restart dBus (/etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start) all goes well. I would first check that /etc/rc.messagebus be executable -- but I suppose it is, then see if there are some other problem around dBus, as a wrong setting or whatever. [EDIT] In my system I saw a directory named /etc/dbus-1 with two regular files and two directories in it. May-be you could look there. |
Thanks for the tip.
The rc files in question have executable permissions, and are running. I even tried restarting the services. Same result - queuing without printing... I'm not sure how the /etc/dbus-1 files work. If this is a lead to the solution I'll need a pointer on what to look for. Thanks again! |
Unfortunately I do not know more than that about dBus :confused:
Anyhow I would try to 'rm -rf /etc/dbus-1' then reinstall the dbus package. Other than that I saw this in CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT for Slackware 12.2 (last sentence): Code:
Due to the gutenprint upgrade, any printers that use gutenprint drivers via cups will have to be reinstalled.Or, may be a problem with user rights ? I guess you already checked that your user belongs to the 'lp' group -- and 'plugdev' as well if you use HAL. [EDIT]Suggestion about gutenprint issue can be relevant only if you upgraded from Slackware 12.1, of course. |
Re: Slackware 12.2 HP PSC 1209 CUPS not printing 1/2 solved
First, thanks Didier Spaier for the tips. Again you pointed me in the right direction that shed light on one of the problems. HAL wasn't loading. The daemon was terminating immediately after starting.
I ran /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes and the first error that popped up was that it couldn't communicate with IEvent. Oops. Must have accidentally turned that off in my kernel config. Turned it back on and HAL is loading. I label this as 1/2 fixed because I am able to print via CUPS, but not if the printer is installed with HPLIP's hp-setup. I erased all config files for HPLIP and CUPS and reinstalled the base packages. If I install the printer via CUPS, I can print. If I install the printer using HPLIP I get the backend error again. So, I removed all of the HPLIP printer configs and stuck with the CUPS printer install. Not sure why the HPLIP printer setup fails... One day I might investigate but for now I'm good to go. Thanks again! P.S. Didier Spaier - In following your suggestion of 'rm -rf /etc/dbus-1', the cups.conf file in there got whacked. I forgot to back it up... But, I was able to rip it out of the package and it got put back after I reinstalled CUPS anyway. Just a FYI. |
Normally I don't install a printer via hp-setup, mostly because it doesn't work. But if you can install it via CUPS then it should work just fine. In order for scanning to work (if it has a scanner) at one point during the install you need to choose the option with the printer serial number in it, if you don't, the scanner will not work.
