Hi !
I recently got a new old printer: A HP Laserjet 5P from Oct. '95.
Installation with cups and printing works fine. It's connected via a "Prolific" Parallel-USB Adapter
Now I want to use the hplip-program to read out the level of the cartridge.
But every hplip program like "hp-levels", "hp-info" and "hp-testpage" shows me a:
error: No device selected/specified or that supports this functionality.
or:
error: No printers found. Please setup a printer and try again.
So I startet "hp-setup" to configure the printer with the hplip-programm.
The terminal output:
error: No devices found on bus: usb
The automatic discovery, nor the manual discovery with the given USB Device and Bus ID are working
I tried for the ID's "002:004" and "067b:2305" but none of them is working.
Also working with the command-lien doesnt work:
[root /home/joschi] lpstat -d

[joschi ~] hp-levels -p Hewlett-Packard_HP_LaserJet_5P

How do I find out the right printer-name and device-uri ?
Kind Regards

Try sudo hp-setup or sudo hp-toolbox. It worked very good for me.

Perhaps you need cups to provide an interface for printer.
There is also an alternate method to install via hp-setup. It may help in finding the solution..use the command...... hp-setup -i...... and see what interactive install provides.

Have you considered the possibility that the error message is correct i.e. that your printer does not "support this functionality"?

Try checking www.hplipopensource.com when it comes back online. There should be a support list with printer and what functions are supported.
