How to use my printer & scanner?

[disallowed]

I want to use the hp M1319f. Ubuntu detected and installed automatically the proper driver (hplip). I connect the printer to my TahrPup laptop & nothing happens. What I should do?

Hi....

Check out rcrsn51's guide here. Hopefully, that will get you going.

I connected with the printer ON. /tmp and /dev/null, the "Write" boxes are checked. At "Find New Printers", there was not the model driver on "Make" list. So, I downloaded hplip_print-3.14.10.pet to /root and browsed it from there. I tried to print a page, I chose the local printer, but it doesn't print. It's only lists the trials as "jobs" at localhost.

Does that mean that you installed the PET by clicking on it? Or did you somehow try to extract it?

That sounds like you installed the PET, ran the CUPS setup wizard and saw your m1319f in the Models list. Is that correct?

However, you would also see "requires proprietary plugin". The big-boy Linuxes like Ubuntu can install this plugin, but Puppy cannot.

However, if you go back to How to Install your Printer, it discusses another driver package called foo2xxx. It claims to support your m1318f.

I ran the CUPS setup wizard and didn't saw m1319f in the Models list

So I downloaded (from the link I saw at your guide) hplip_print-3.14.10.pet at root and provided it by clicking on "Browse..." (without install or extract it before) and then "Add Printer". After trying print, I got this state at "Jobs":

Code: Select all

stopped 
"/etc/cups/interfaces/HP_LaserJet_M1319f_MFP failed"

I deleted the printer and added it again, and this time I saw it at the top of the list and said about this plugin required. I selected it from the list and added the printer. But again it didn't print and got the state:

Code: Select all

stopped 
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed"

I deleted the printer again, try to add it again and again I don't find it at the model list.

I try with foo2zjs but can't compile:

Code: Select all

root# tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
root# cd foo2zjs
root# make
bash: make: command not found
root#

[rcrsn51]

provided it by clicking on "Browse..." (without install or extract it before)

1. Are you talking about the Browse button in the CUPS setup on the Add Printer screen? That won't work.

2. A PET package is an installer. You must click on it to install the driver, just like you would do in Windows.

3. The hplip_print-3.14.10.pet will NOT work because of the proprietary plugin issue.

4. You do NOT need to compile the foo2zjs package. At the end of How to Install your Printer in Puppy is a link to a ready-made PET named foo2xxx_rcrsn-2014.04.26.pet. Download it and click on it.

Yes.

It should be at the top. It worked. You 're my hero. Thanks a lot.

[rcrsn51]

It worked.

Excellent.

Regarding the scanner part of your unit. It also requires a special plugin that is not available in Puppy or as a downloadable PET. Your chances of getting it working are slim.

Is there any chance to get a Konica Minolta magicolor 4650EN printer working? (I've never got it on Ubuntu). CUPS doesn't detect it after several times selecting "Find New Printers".

Finally, Konica Minolta magicolor 4650 worked. The steps I followed:

Got the PPD Driver for Linux from http://printer.konicaminolta.com/sup...up.htm#Drivers (bottom of the page)

Extracted the 4650LinuxPPDs/english/

Placed the M4650opn.ppd in /etc/cups/ppd (and M4650PX.ppd, too, but I didn't use it)

At http://localhost:631/admin added the printer by providing the M4650opn.ppd

Any hope to make them fat? If I get the scanner part of hp laserjet m1319f work, I' ll be the most happy puppy.

Sorry. Eventually, the limitations of a light-weight Linux are going to catch up to you.

This is a driver problem. Switching scanning programs will not fix it.

Very sad, really. It's the only reason I can't keep puppy a machine that otherwise works perfect.
