I installed cups and cups-pdf but can't access localhost631

V1del · 2020-04-04 14:27:15

Did you enable the services? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS

lsusb is part of usbutils

Momoleraclo · 2020-04-04 15:15:38

I think I tried earlier but it gave me an error even with root privileges

Can please re-write me the command please?

Thanks for help

Systemd#Using_units covers checking the status of a service as well as enabling and disabling one.

Momoleraclo · 2020-04-04 15:21:22

Wild guess: add your user to the lp group (you'll have to re-login to apply this or run a new login shell), then re-run hp-setup

sudo usermod -aG lp your_username

I rebooted, nothing changed

Momoleraclo · 2020-04-04 15:59:16

BTW, printer work fine when I use (for example) PureOs as live/test without I do nothing

In Anarchy lshw gave me :

*-usb:3
description: Printer
product: Photosmart B109a-m
vendor: HP
physical id: 4
bus info: usb@1:1.5.4
logical name: scsi8
version: 1.00
serial: CN9AS964SQ05C7
capabilities: usb-2.00 bidirectional emulated scsi-host
configuration: driver=usb-storage maxpower=2mA speed=480Mbit/s

I just did in my term and download :

sudo pacman -S cups cups-filters cups-pdf ghostscript gsfonts foomatic-db-engine foomatic-db foomatic-db-ppds foomatic-db-nonfree foomatic-db-nonfree-ppds gutenprint foomatic-db-gutenprint-ppds system-config-printer

then

[xxxxxx@archlinux]: ~>$ sudo systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.socket
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/org.cups.cupsd.socket → /usr/lib/systemd/system/org.cups.cupsd.socket.

[windows@archlinux]: ~>$ sudo systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.socket

This could be an old bug that has resurfaced since hplip 3.19: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/535056

Try to edit /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat: create a copy of the section [photosmart_b109a_series] and rename the copy to [photosmart_b109a-m]

I dl a pdf from firefox, then open with libreoffice, it gave me a message "read only mode", I try to print : only generic printer available. If I try to print the message is still "could not start printer, please check your printer configuration"

When I try to detect printer with command hp-setup or using graphical hp device manager, still not working.

It worked on my previous installation of Anarchy (less than a week)

Oh, and at some point you'll likely require https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hplip-plugin/
Alternatively you can probably use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/foo2zjs-nightly/

Momoleraclo · 2020-04-04 16:14:36

I'm trying your solutions guys, I'm still there

thanks for your help

You have to open the file with root privileges in a text editor, edit it and save it again to copy the section.

[SECTION]
parameter=value
parameter=value

[SECTION_X]
...

[SECTION]
parameter=value
parameter=value

[SECTION_COPY]
parameter=value
parameter=value

[SECTION_X]
...

What is the debug output of hp-setup?

hp-setup -g 001:004

And please use code-tags for the output of commands:

[code] -> CODE GOES HERE <- [/code]

Edit: As for installing packages from the AUR, please read this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository
