I have tried to get Deepin to recognise my HP3630 wifi printer but keep getting the following error message: CUPS server error - 'server-err
 

Hi folks - I have just installed Deepin 15.5 and I am currently trying to get it to see my HP3634 printer.

I have the printer connected through both the USB and wifi and I get the same error message regardless.

I could attach a screenshot, but can't see how?

Thanks

p.s. The error message should read: CUPS server error. 'server-error-internal-error'.

Can you post the output of lpinfo -v ? with your printer connected of course.

Thanks Mill J. Here it is:

Ok great:thumbsup: your printer is being seen. Now how are you trying to add this printer? probably the deepin system printer config app?

Try opening your web browser and navigating to localhost:631 click on admin in the top menu bar, then try to add your printer from there.

Let us know if this works/doesn't work.

If by 'navigate to' you mean type localhost:631 into the search area of my web browser, that doesn't work. It states that 'this site cannot be reached'. Then tells me to check my firewall etc. I am using Opera, by the way.

Do you have a proxy set? In Firefox i can turn the proxy off in the settings without affecting system proxy.

Also most browsers have a url text ctrl and a smaller search text ctrl. make sure you use the url crtl.

This is the message I get when searching proxy:

Under a supported Desktop Environment, Opera will use the proxy settings from your system. If you see this page, Opera was not able to automatically determine your proxy settings from the environment. If you want Opera to use a proxy server, you can configure it either by a command line switch or by setting appropriate environment variables.

I did search in the main URL search box. I also tried in Chrome and got a similar response i.e. site couldn't be found or similar.

That strange, Ok open /etc/cups/cupsd.conf in your text editor(it will likely be read only) Look for:

#Only listen for connections from local machine.

post the two lines that come after that line. And also post the line that comes after

#Web Interface settings...


I've seen very few distros that didn't just work with printing.

I'm not having a lot of luck here:

john@john-PC:~$ /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
bash: /etc/cups/cupsd.conf: Permission denied

john@john-PC:~$ sudo /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[sudo] password for john:
sudo: /etc/cups/cupsd.conf: command not found

john@john-PC:~$ sudo su /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
No passwd entry for user '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf'

I've been using Linux for over 5 years and I've never had this issue before. I've even used earlier versions of Deepin?

I was running Ubuntu 17.10 until about a week ago and the printer just loaded and ran.

For what it's worth I am getting exactly the same issue when trying to get the same printer to work on my laptop.

youll have to run sudo gedit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

I'm not sure what the default text editor is for Deepin, substitute gedit accordingly.

What distro are you running on you laptop?

Happy reading. Gedit kind of works in Deepin. My laptop is running Deepin as well, so this appears to be an inherent problem, maybe with this particular printer. I know that HP printers are usually well catered for.

mine is:So if yours doesn't have the localhost line you need to add it, save it and restart cups via sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart or maybe sudo systemctl restart cups.service depending on your system.

Deepin terminal won't accept 'Listen' as a command.

john@john-PC:~$ Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
bash: Listen: command not found

john@john-PC:~$ sudo Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
[sudo] password for john:

sudo: Listen: command not found

john@john-PC:~$ Listen localhost:631
bash: Listen: command not found

john@john-PC:~$ sudo Listen localhost:631
sudo: Listen: command not found

Just by the by, how do you attach a file (such as a screenshot .png file), to a post?

No listen is not a command. it is a setting in your cupsd.conf file you opened earlier, you need to edit a section in that file from:

#Only listen for connections from local machine.
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock

to

#Only listen for connections from local machine.
Listen localhost:631
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock

I think you need a certain amount of posts before you can add a attach a picture to your post.
