Hi,

I'm testing my CUPS on Centos 4.2, I has a hp f300 USB printer, also plused in Linux. I tried to configure on CUPS web-interface and command line but both are failure to print, the printer drive was downloaded in www.linuxprinting.org, the driver name is HP-DeskJet_F300-hpijs.ppd and put into /usr/share/cups/model/, the CUPS web-interface can detect my printer and also the following command line can detect too:

lpadmin -p f300 -v \
> /dev/usb/lp0 -m HP-DeskJet_F300-hpijs.ppd -E

The cups config file is here:

Thanks for the help !!

hpijs drivers are deprecated in favour of HPLIP for HP printers. There should be an RPM available for HPLIP. Give that a try.

what version of hplip are you using..I had the same problem with cups seeing my printer but not letting me print until I downgraded to 0.97 version of hplip

Thank your reply, I tried the hpijs rpm, but seem need install
libstdc++.so.5, but I cannot find appropriate libstdc++.so.5 for
Centos 4.2 ....

[root@web ~]# rpm -ivh hpijs-1.6-1.i386.rpm
warning: hpijs-1.6-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.5 is needed by hpijs-1.6-1.i386
libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by hpijs-1.6-1.i386
libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by hpijs-1.6-1.i386

Here is some new information :

After tried print test page, its say :

Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, so I click the Show Completed Jobs that have following:

f300-18 Test Page root 15k aborted

If I click the Restart Job button it will display :

Error:

client-error-not-possible



Thanks !!!

Again, deprecated (as in old software). Try HPLIP: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
The Fedora RPM should work.

Can use the Fedora rpm on Centos ?

I trying to install HPLIP, the following error that tell me not
install libjpeg and libusb, but I installed both by tarball,
any suggestion about the both lib ?

error: Missing REQUIRED dependency: libjpeg (libjpeg - JPEG library)
error: Missing REQUIRED dependency: libusb (libusb - USB library)

double check the ./configure for the libs and see if they were installed in the default dir for your distrobution.
for example..I use gentoo..if I install something from tarball .sometimes a package will be installed in /usr/share/lib and the default for gentoo is usr/lib..
