Hplip error "successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes"

Hello,
I have installed cups and hplip but I can't add printer.
My printer is HP DeskJet 5075

$ hp-setup
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.19.8)
Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0

Copyright (c) 2001-18 HP Development Company, LP

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
Found device: hp:/net/DeskJet_5000_series?ip=192.168.0.213
error:  Printer queue setup failed.   Error : successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes

I always get this error "successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes" after "Add printer" on this window:

I checked hp-doctor and only gs is misiing but I don't know how to install it on ArchLinux (I installed ghostscript)
error: gs            GhostScript - PostScript and PDF language interpreter and previewer REQUIRED        7.05            -               MISSING    'gs needs to be installed'

I remember that a few month ago I also had problem with it but I solved it. I can't do this now, I tried for a week a lot of ways (for example installing from hplip from hp page) but without success. I have no idea more.

Re: Hplip error "successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes"

I have had the same error ("successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes") recently, after trying to re-setup my HP Deskjet 2676 which stopped working (maybe an update?).

From trying to add it via CUPS, I figured it had something to do with a PPD file, which is stored at "/usr/share/ppd/HP/something.ppd.gz". Unzip it via gunzip, then running "cupstestppd" on it showed some errors. Removing the lines which it shows errors on then using this PPD file instead of the original worked for me.

Hope this helps

Re: Hplip error "successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes"

solution ?

from contrasutra in

https://www.linuxquestions.org/question … rd-156986/

It's looking for your root password.

The username should be exactly "root" and the password should be your normal root password.

I was personnaly annoyed with the permanent logins and followed Geremia's (same page) repply to remove them:

Change some things in your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file:

Change the authentication type to "None".
Remove any lines that have "@SYSTEM" in it.
Restart the CUPS daemon

the password prompt was removed yet the printer, initially communicating, was no longer :

I uninstalled hplip completely,
reinstalled hplip completely
uninstalled cups completely
reinstalled cups completely

AND MOST OF ALL : I installed priniter-driver-pxljr (for the hp3630 and some others)  AND printer-driver-hpijs (for most other hp printers) from synaptic (apt-repo) packages.

NOW WORKING (still, as in my experience I have to press the down arrow on the printer from times to times  to confirm my willingness to print, absolutely unrelated problematic, though).

Cheers,
rwank:)

I just had this problem on my wife's computer. It turns out that I had not given her permission to print stuff. Just type:

sudo usermod -a -G lpadmin your-username

and try again. No need to reinstall anything

Re: Hplip error "successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes"

The problem is caused by insufficient privileges as hp-setup is being run with insufficient permissions. It is expected to be run as root.

Cups daemon status/error log would provide this detail:

Re: Hplip error "successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes"

Please don't necrobump 4 year old threads, as established, it doesn't "expect to be ran" as root, but as an user that the CUPS server is allowed to add printers for which can be configured in various ways.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS#Permissions

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … bumping%22

Side note, localhost.localdomain can lead to all sorts of issues, fix your hostname
