and should be in cups
please read the fedora documentation http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/index.html and then use the web tool go here ( this will be YOUR COMPUTER) http://localhost:631/ |
thanks guys,
the problem seems to be cups: [CODE] [root@duke8814 foo2zjs]# make cups if [ -x /etc/init.d/cups ]; then \ /etc/init.d/cups restart; \ elif [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups ]; then \ /etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart; \ elif [ -x /etc/init.d/cupsys ]; then \ /etc/init.d/cupsys restart; \ elif [ -x /etc/init.d/cupsd ]; then \ /etc/init.d/cupsd restart; \ elif [ -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh ]; then \ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh restart; \ elif [ -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh.sample ]; then \ cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh.sample /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh; \ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh restart; \ fi Stopping cups: [FAILED] Starting cups: [FAILED] make: *** [cups] Error 1 [\CODE] when i use system-config-printer, the "add" button is disabled (gray color), so no printers are available to be installled. am i missing something ? |
It seems like you are building cups from source; Do the following:
Code:
yum install cups* |
why are you building cups ???
it is installed by default ! and if for some reason it is not ( removed from the default install ) you the code above "yum install cups" you also need to be root to use the "system config printer" Gnome GUI as a normal user launch it Then a pop up window will ask for the root password if you are using the root login to the gui hack that program will not work the password pop-up will not show |
hi guys,
i have re-installed cups and also tried to enable the cups service (system-administration-services) but it does not starts. when i use system-config-printer, the "add" button continuous disabled (gray color), so no printers are available to be installled. the procedure at http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/ success except by the cups related step. thanks for comments |

no Josh,
following your link was the first thing i did: [CODE] Compile: $ make Get extra files from the web, such as .ICM profiles for color correction, and firmware. Select the model number for your printer: $ ./getweb P1005 # Get HP LaserJet P1005 firmware file $ ./getweb P1006 # Get HP LaserJet P1006 firmware file $ ./getweb P1007 # Get HP LaserJet P1007 firmware file $ ./getweb P1008 # Get HP LaserJet P1008 firmware file $ ./getweb P1505 # Get HP LaserJet P1505 firmware file Install driver, foomatic XML files, and extra files: $ su OR $ sudo make install # make install (Optional) Configure hotplug (USB; HP LJ P1005/P1006/P1007/P1008/P1505): # make install-hotplug OR $ sudo make install-hotplug (Optional) If you use CUPS, restart the spooler: # make cups OR $ sudo make cups [\CODE] last step, "make cups", fails. [CODE] if [ -x /etc/init.d/cups ]; then \ /etc/init.d/cups restart; \ elif [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups ]; then \ /etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart; \ elif [ -x /etc/init.d/cupsys ]; then \ /etc/init.d/cupsys restart; \ elif [ -x /etc/init.d/cupsd ]; then \ /etc/init.d/cupsd restart; \ elif [ -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh ]; then \ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh restart; \ elif [ -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh.sample ]; then \ cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh.sample /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh; \ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh restart; \ fi Stopping cups: [FAILED] Starting cups: [FAILED] make: *** [cups] Error 1 [\CODE] thanks ... |
Ok I have how-to.
Stop building cups and just install it the yum way. Then, install hplip and hplip-gui. You can then add your printer using the system config printer thing in the system menu and go to the hp gui program in the system menu. One of the options will be to "Install Printer Driver". You should click this and follow instructions. Then you should click "Download Firmware" and the printer should make noise. You are finished. Good luck Alex |
sorry guys, i was out of town and didn't solved this issue :-(
in fact, cups was installed in the yum way but doesnt start (system-admin-services---->cups) i also installed hplip, but setup process fails: Code:
/usr/bin/hp-setup& i have done this process http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/ however, i looks to be until fc13. is there any special issue for fc14 ? best regards hector |
with fedora you DO NEED to be root to edit the printer
but from the gnome gui a pop up asking for the root password should pop up also from the recomended web interface a user name/ password pop up will show use 'root" and your root password http://localhost:631 then tell firefox to remember it . |
there is something wrong with cups.
the link http://localhost:631/ doesnt answer ... however, the printer is recognized by fedora: Code:
Code:
thanks for comments .... hector |
Can you verify that you have the cups service running? And if anything, nmap localhost and see if there are any ports being opened for cups. That's what I would do just to rule out a bad port number or whatever.

there is not a cups server running; by going to system-admin-services the cups scheduler service is enabled but stopped, and does not restart.
Code:
[root@duke8814 rc.d]# hector |
