HP Officejet Pro hplip-gui

LinuxRocks · 2012-06-09 20:15:00

Hey All,

I have an HP Officejet Pro 7680 and have installed the hplip drivers. I have added myself to LP, SYS, ADMIN, and some other groups but when I try to add the printer via hp-toolbox, it says it can't communicate with the printer, however, it does show the printer in the configuration screen. This is a network printer also.

When I try to add the printer from the command line as root, it says

[root@linuxbox ~]# hp-setup -i

I was able to set it up using the cups web interface, but I would rather use the hp tools as I have access to ink status, scanning, and other tools.

Anyway to get this to work?

Thanks!
Joe

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

I've always just used the cups web interface, works fine every time - have you tried it that way?

<edit>Apologies, you've already done that....

You got avahi installed? Changed the symlink to python 2.7? Checked /etc/cups/client.conf?

Tell us what you've done so far...

HI there,

Yes, I have avahi installed and running. HP-Toolbox can find the device and even offers to install, but then looses connection with it when I try to do the final setup of the printer.

I have not tried the symbolic link to python or checked clients.conf, Could you be more specific on these items?

Thanks!
Joe
