[solved] Problem with HPLip since last update

gnux83 · 2012-06-02 20:43:03

Hi,

since last system update my printer (HP LaserJet M1212nf) which is shared via network does not work any longer. Scanning via xsane works only printing is affected.
Everytime if I want to print any document all I'll get is something like this:
http://privatepaste.com/download/c84615c35d

There isn't any error message or similar. Printing starts as expected, but the result would look like above

hplip 3.12.4-1 and also the required plugin is installed correctly.
kernel 3.3.7-1-ARCH
cups 1.5.3-3

Can anyone help me?

regards,
gnux

A quick search would have revealed a similar thread and a bug on Flyspray.

The new version of hplip (currently in [Testing]) fixes it...

Hi,

have the same problem with my HP 8500 (HP 910). Try to downgrade hplip to hplip-3.12.2 and then to 3.11.12 without success. Error may be caused by cups.

If same one find a solution. I'm very happy.

kind regards

Did you bother to read the forum thread or bug report I linked to? Both have (temporary) fixes in them...

yes I did.

Problem is solved now, thanks a lot!

I had to upgrade hplip to 3.12.4-3 und downgrade cups and libcups to 1.5.3-2...

Once again thanks!

I'm glad you got it solved. The quote you grabbed above was directed at jookoo, who seems oblivious to the fact that there are several solutions to this issue.

Thanks,
the downgrade work.

$ pacman -Rdd cups-filters
$ pacman -U /var/var/cache/pacman/pkg/cups-1.5.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/var/cache/pacman/pkg/libcups-1.5.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
$ rc.d restart cupsd

I have no clue what happened between updates but it seems that my printing is borked.

First off, details:

HP Deskjet F4140, using the hpijs ppd file that comes with hplip. I've tried printing in LibreOffice and vim. Both produce this strange page:

I'm at a complete loss for what to do. I've tried removing all the printers from CUPS, unplugging and replugging the printer, hp-setup, etc. I even tested the "device" tab under Printer Options and tried to make it use Postscript instead of PDF. I think there's something wrong in the configuration and I don't know where to look or what to search for on the net. I tried searching for various phrases here on the forum and the CUPS wiki page had nothing on this subject...

Help?

Merging...

Huh. I didn't know this problem was so common. None of the terms I searched for brought topics up!

Anyway, my routine `pacman -Syu` and readding my printer seems to have fixed things.
