[SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
Dear friends,
I have an HP Photosmart 5520 printer which used to work, but then it didn't anymore and I tried to figure out why and how to make it work again.
The printer works well from 3 Android Smartphones over WIFI.
The printer works over a browser entering 192.168.1.170 and successfully sending test page.
The printer works over an old Kubuntu version on the same computer sending a test page.
So I assume the printer itsself is intact and the cable is intact too.
The printer is directly connected with a USB cable to the computers USB port, no hub. But tested over a different USB port and over a hub, the problem stays the same.
I reinstalled the cups and hplip packets without success.
I can add the printer over the cups web interface without errors, but it'll stuck, not sending the test page.
I can add the printer over KDE system settings, but it'll not print, stuck at sending.
If I add the printer over the hplip interface including the hook "send test page to printer", it'll give this error
Device error:
Unknown/invalid device-uri field (4).If I add the printer over the hplip interface without the hook "send test page to printer", it'll jump back to page 1 "no installed HP devices found".
If I use hp-setup over console, it'll give no error, but just say done, but no printer was added.

2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to
successfully run.

Re: [SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hplip-plugin/
The version has to match the hplip version.
Alternatively you may try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/foo2zjs-nightly/

Re: [SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
Thank you for your answer.
This two packets unfortunately did not change the problem.
I like to note, that the scanner unit functions flawlessly, which is another point that the wire and printer itself is functual.

Re: [SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
Hmm, maybe your previous stuck print jobs have crashed the usb connection on the printer? Stop cups, disconnect the printer from both power and usb, wait for 5 minutes and reconnect.
Another option would probably be driverless printing with avahi and ipp-usb (or instead of ipp-usb use the wifi connection)

Re: [SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
Also see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … #Debug_log
Raise the debug level, restart the cups service, attempt to print and check the log.

Re: [SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
I noted that in the startup of the system for a second a popup from hplip showed refering to error 5012.
I removed the printer from KDE system settings and used this command recommended by a Xubuntu user.
hp-setup -i 192.168.1.170to set up the printer to the specific IP.
Now it gets recognized by HP device manager and prints the test page.
After a few minutes it gives again the same error code:
Device communication error / Code 5012 / Please correct the problem and try again
but after a refresh of the devices in the HP device manager it sets it to idle again.
I got a huge step further I feel and will test the printers behavior now.

Re: [SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
I figured out, if after the system start, I wake up the printer from sleep (touching the printers display, before I open the HP device manager, it don't show error 5012.
If I print from a WiFi device before opening the HP Device manager, it don't show error 5012.
If I open the HP device manager if the printer is in sleep mode, it'll show error 5012.
I didn't manage to figure out to stop the printer to go into sleep mode yet, I can only set it up to max. 15 minutes.
Maybe the error 5012 in sleep mode a normal behavior in HP devices?

Re: [SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
Since the main problem is solved and I only need to manually wake up the printer, I'll mark this thread as solved.
Thank you.

Re: [SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
As far as I know the printer should automatically wake up if it receives data from usb or wifi. I have no idea why it doesn't work for you. (works for me with an HP OfficeJet)

Re: [SOLVED] printer driver/ hplip problem
I found the solution by chance.
My wife brought her work laptop home with Windows 10.
I installed the windows driver, it apparently updated something (printer firmware?).
Now it works in Arch Linux without any problem, starts with code 1046 - in power save mode.
