OfficeJet G85, CUPS Web based Admin test print works, lpr/lp dose not. ptal-print OK.
Hello,
Problem Simple: HP OfficeJet G85 print drivers are installed and CUPS web based admin allows me to add a printer, the button "print test page" in the CUPS web based admin is able to print a page. lpr/lp can not connect to printer, thus can not print. Problem In detail: I run Slackware 10.0 with the default kernel (2.4.26). I am trying to get my HP OfficeJet G85 print to work with it. Searching around on the Internet led me to a few things, one the HP linux drivers (hpinkjet (http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/)), but after installing that I quickly found at that I need the OfficeJet Drivers and I had the InkJet Drivers. So I went to: http://hpoj.sourceforge.net (hpoj (HP OfficeJet Driver)) and compiled and installed that... After I installed that driver I ran: ptal-init setup Which found and set up up my printer at: /dev/usb/lp0 I than ran: ptal-devid which gave me: Code:
MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:OfficeJet G85;CMD:MLC,PCL,PML,SCL;CLASS:PRINTER;DESCRIPTION:Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet G Series;1284.3M:f7f,f7f;1284.4DL:4d,4e,1;SERN:SGG27E15K2VL;VSTATUS:$HB0$NC0,ff,DN,IDLE,CUT,K0,C0,SM,NR,KP078,CP087;AiO:0;DW-PCL; ptal-print which gave: Code:
ptal-print: connecting to device "mlc:usb:OJG85"... successful. Moving on I restarted CUPS with: /etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart and than went to localhost:631 with my web browser and configure CUPS with my printer. I added the printer with the options that the README file hpoj told me to do and named it OJG85. And than I click print test page. Which than printed out a test page correctly. I though I was set. So I went into firefox and tried to print out a page, that didn't work, the printer never printed any thing. So I saved it to a PostScript file and than tried to print it out with the lpr command my self which gave me the error: Code:

First time I have used cups, so I did not know this. Thanks again for the help! Andrew |
