HP LaserJet MFP M233dw: "The printer is unreachable at this time."

Freed · 2023-04-25 14:23:19

Hey, I try to use HP LaserJet MFP M233dw.
https://user-images.githubusercontent.c … 53bd38.jpg

I:

sudo pacman -S hplip cups-pdf
sudo systemctl restart cups
xdg-open http://localhost:631/admin

Then `Add Printer -> Internet Printing Protocol (ipp) -> ipp://192.168.151.183/ipp -> input Name -> Make: HP LaserJet MFP m232-m237, hpcups 3.23.3 (en, en)`

Then

sudo pacman -S hplip cups-pdf
sudo systemctl restart cups
xdg-open http://localhost:631/printers

Then enter the printer name, Print test page, but I got

ID	Name	User	Size	Pages	State	Control
hp  	Unknown  	Withheld  	1k  	Unknown  	processing since

I don't know if the way I set up my HP printer works for you, but I use everything everywhere which means there is no need for hplip, and no need for any driver installation as the printer provides the only file needed automatically. The single command I use to set up is:

lpadmin -p HP-Laserjet-Printer -E -v "ipp://192.168.151.183/ipp/print" -m everywhere

Then I can manage it in the cups interface on a browser at localhost:631

After

lpadmin -p HP-Laserjet-Printer -E -v "ipp://192.168.151.183/ipp/print" -m everywhere

, it still

"The printer is unreachable at this time."

I connect my printer and PC in same network. I can open https://192.168.150.244/hp/device/set_c … Print.html to see how to configure it. but I cannot see anything in

lpstat

.

$ lpstat -p -d
lpstat: No destinations added.
no system default destination

Please replace the oversized image w/ links, the board has a 250x250px max rule.

nmap 192.168.151.183 192.168.150.244

I suspect that's because of sudo (don't do that), but to be sure:

loginctl session-status
echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames | sed '/string/!d; s/^\s*string //g'
dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames | sed '/string/!d; s/^\s*string //g'

Fixed.

because of sudo

Even if don't use sudo, it also cannot work. So I try sudo, like a drowning man will catch at a straw.

Uninformed use of sudo is more akin to catching a lead ball…
Please post the outputs I asked for in #6
