Hi, i write here because i have the following problem:
I bought a HP LaserJet p1005 and i installed it with hplip drivers. The printer works fine when i send a job from OpenOffice, but when i try to print something from a gnome app, like evince or one of those tools that use gnome printing system, i can't do it because the button "Print" is disabled.
I post an image to see what happens:
I don't know what else to do .. I tried adding my user to lp group but it still the same..
Thanks for your help!.

You may need to install libgnomeprint package by pacman -S libgnomeprint.

Hi,
I have the same problem as Perkin. The printer works fine when i send a job from OpenOffice or the "Cups-Manager" (localhost:631). But my configured printer is not listed in the print dialogs from gnome-apps and firefox.
The printer worked just fine in gnome-apps before the update of cups yesterday.
I'll be happy about any kind of help.
Regards
// Edit: Installing the package libgnomeprint doesn't solved this issue.

Reporting the same problems after updating cups. lpr works fine, but printing from firefox and gimp won't work (I am using xmonad not gnome).
edit:
installing libgnomeprint SOLVED my problem:
pacman -S libgnomeprint
/etc/rc.d/cups restart

See also this thread. I had a similar problem, and updating my configuration file solved it.

@SamC: Thanks for the hint. Now i can print my pdf-files with lp.
But the problem persists. Now my printer is listed in the print-dialog but when i select it, the print button becomes grayed-out.

Sorry for the double post, but i finally could solve this problem by adding the line
HostNameLookups Double
in '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf'.
Thanks for your help.

I'm glad that I ran across this post. I've just started having this issue and it was preventing me from printing a very important report..

Awesome, this fix worked for me too.

This worked for me too. I added it to the cups page on the wiki.

BUMP!
It seems like this new "cups" feature has reared its head again.
pacman -Q cups
cups 1.4.2-2
pacman -Q hplip
hplip 3.9.12-2
pacman -Q hpcups
error: package "hpcups" not found
pacman -Q foomatic-db
foomatic-db 4.0.3_20090904-2
This is an updated and pretty fresh Arch install. I honestly didn't know I had printing issue til the other day. I'm running FluxBox and was using HPLIP Mgr. This mgr would get to downloading and updated ppd file. I think it was for the fax and then say the queue was not ready and go in cicrles. I cancelled this "mgr" and it cxled all my icons in print dialogs. I have totally reinstalled cups and friends, PDQ doesn't work and LPRng doesn't work for me either. Looking at the most recent notes on HP they with CUPS have changed the hplip for my printer to use hpcups. My printer is a HP Color LJ 1312nfi_mb series. This new hpcups is supposed to have my ppd's. Well it's not on their site and I can't find it in Arch's repos.
LPR from the cli just hangs, the error logs show expected behaviour that CUPS is going to try and resolve both IPV4/6 addresses. Now Firefox, Gimp, OO.org etc don't see my printer. The web interface DOES and can send a test page. ALL KDE4 apps can see my printers and give me options to print. As I said before I'm in Fluxbox.
The host lookup double causes a host not resolvable/reachable error.
This is a new install for cups, hence it is a stock cupsd.conf.
The hint to block nf with modprobe has no effect.
At one time printing did work and I'd like for it to again. The fact that CUPS, PDQ and LPRng breakdown at some point on a Linux supportable network printer is kinda strange. The only common factor is the ppd. PDQ I can't get foomatic-rip to make a pdq filter from the ppd. LPRng won't build, after having to finagle to an http site because the ftp site is refusing connections.
