HP DeskJet 3820
Has anybody gotten the 3820 to work on linux. I've studied and studied the pages at www.linuxprinting.org and I can't figure out how to get my printer working. I can't find a straight forward tutorial that explains what I need and how to install it. Please point me in a direction.

firstly how are you trying to connect the printer? network or to parrallel or what?
second can your computer see the device? /dev/lp0 or something? check these things if you still want an answer post. |
Remove any old printer stuff, install CUPS, install hpijs and point your browser at http://localhost:631/ and add that particular printer. Select one of the hpijs printing mechanisms.
|
CUPS is installed and running but http://localhost:631 gives a:
connection refused error. I noticed that port 515 is open and the label on the port says printer but when I go to http://localhost:515 it gives a: access to the port number given has been disabled becuase of security reasons. |
Okay port 631 is open but when I go to http://localhost:631 I get a forbidden error. It says I do not have permission to access the resource on this server.
|
Okay hp 3820 driver is installed. Now what?
|
DUDE how did u get into localhost:631 in the browser?
i am getting the same erros u said you got but then you said you got in but did not tell how you did get in!!!! help. |
Did you start the cups daemon?
/etc/init.d/cups start chkconfig cups on Sorry this thread is very old. The problem was actually in my BIOS. I had to change the option to allow the OS to detect the peripheral devices. |
when i go to /etc/init,d ther eis no cups to start?
i know the driver is installed! do u have any advice? i should change to /etc/init.d/cups then type start? i also just typed /etc/init.d/cups start and that does nothing also. helpppp. thank you |
Do you have cups installed? What distro are you using?
