HPLIP & slack 13 -current
Hi! I am trying to setup a networked hP C6280 all in one device attached to my network via Cat5 cable. It has the IP 192.168.0.105 and I am experiencing problems with setting up HPLIP... I know I am not the only one to have this problem, but I cant find specific info for slackware and all the posts I've found on the web are outdated, often refering to slack 9 or having been posted prior to 2006....
I use Slackware -Current (prior to 13.1 release), CUPS V1.4.3 and HPLIP V3.10.2 When I try to setup my device in HPLIP (hp-setup), I select "network/ethernet/wireless device", then HPLIP discovers my printer @ 192.168.0.105 (like I expect), and then I click "add printer" and I get: Code:
Printer queue setup failed. I can setup the device in CUPS, but if I proceed this way, I will not be able to select the attached scanner as a resource in XSANE.... In other words, if I setup the all-in-one device with CUPS, it is considered only a simple printer... I remember that I had the same problem with Slackware 12.2 about 14 months ago, but cannot remember how I fixed it. Anybody would be able to help me??. Thanks! |
I changed the permissions in /proc/bus/usb/002 to read/write for the owner and group and read-only for others. I then re-ran hp-setup and all was well for the printer, scanner, fax, etc. I think you can write a udev rule to cover this, but I don't know much about udev. I usually do it down and dirty.

mlangdn,
there is several folders in /proc/bus/usb/... like 001, 002 .... 007 I tried to change the permissions of ALL of these folders with: Owner: Can view & modify content Group: Can view & modify content Others: Can view content And I checked the checkbox "Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents" but that did not work.... Anything else to try? In fact, how di dyou know it was 002 and not some other folders? I would like to specify that the owner of these folders is root:root |
Just to double check: do you belong to the lp group?
|
sycamorex, yes I am member of lp... in fact I am member of: lp, floppy, audio, video, cdrom, plugdev, power, netdev, scanner and of course users.... I hope this will help!

Run hp-check. That will tell you what folder.
I also told you wrong, which is my fault. The file for me was /dev/bus/usb/002/003 I changed 003 to rw for all. The output from hp-check you are looking for will be like this from mine: Code:

Why are all of you other than the OP talking about usb devices?

You also missed giving up a solution. I realize its oftentimes easier to criticize a possibly wrong answer than to post a right answer - perhaps you forgot to post your solution? |

If the OP is using an ethernet connection to communicate to his all-in-one device, what good is it for you to tell him about USB devices? lpallard, perhaps this will help. |
I probably should have stayed out of this one. I just don't do much on networking.

Brilliant!
