Attached printer not working in openSuse 13.1

w2tq · April 23, 2014, 2:58pm

I just installed openSuse 13.1 (clean, new install, stock with initial updates only) on two machines in a network, one of which has an HP Laserjet printer attached. While I am able to print test pages and pages from LibreOffice, pages sent from Kate, Kwrite, FireFox, other applications fail to print. The print window for the HP shows an grayed-out output file going to pdf.

Curiously, even though the test page printed from the CUPS, the job states “unable to open print file: No such file or directory.”

Previously, in 11.4, I was able to print from all applications through Samba.

All advice welcome. Thanks.

This belongs in the Hardware sub-forum.
Apply On-Line Updates.
What printer, how is it connected, what PPD are you usin?
– you can copy/paste this information from YaST > Hardware > Printers
How did you install/configure the printer exactly?
– did you use the HP Device Manager? If so what does it report?

hcvv · April 23, 2014, 4:37pm

Will be moved to Hardware and is CLOSED for the moment.

hcvv · April 23, 2014, 4:48pm

Moved from Applications and open again.

Thanks for the response and thank you for moving the thread to the proper subforum.

The printer is an HP LaserJet 4050.

I used the recommended driver: HP LaserJet 4050 Series Postscript (recommended). I did not use the HP device manager.

I used CUPS to configure the printer on the remote machine - the printers.conf follows:


# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.5.4
# Written by cupsd on 2014-04-23 08:50
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING

On the locally-connected machine, SuSE configured the printer in automatic configuration during the initial installation of the OS:

Please let me know if you need further information. Thanks.

Solved - for reasons not clear to me (but after other software updates for other reasons), it’s now working.

w2tq · April 23, 2014, 7:26pm

I spoke too soon. While printing appears to be working on the networked machine (through Samba), the problem persists on the machine to which the printer is attached.

eng-int · April 24, 2014, 9:47am

I am not sure, but there are a few things you could try.

I am able to print test pages and pages from LibreOffice, pages sent from Kate, Kwrite, FireFox, other applications fail to print.

I take it that you have mozilla-kde4-integration installed?
Do print commands from a terminal window (e.g. Konsole) produce expected results?
E.g. from my laptop:

ray@giulia:~> lpstat -d ;echo ;lpstat -p ;echo ;lpq ;echo ;lp /etc/os-release ;echo ;lpq ;echo
system default destination: clp500

printer clp500 is idle.  enabled since Thu 24 Apr 2014 08:40:27 BST
        Ready to print.

clp500 is ready
no entries

request id is clp500-10 (1 file(s))

clp500 is ready and printing
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
active  ray     10      os-release                      1024 bytes

ray@giulia:~>

Have a look at System Settings > Hardware > Printers (from the KDE Menu) for anything untoward.
Try creating an new test user, and printing from e.g. Kate.

I take it that the reason for Samba is that you have Microsoft systems on the network. Have you tried remote CUPS printing?

w2tq · April 25, 2014, 11:54pm

As mentioned at the top, there are two machines - one connected directly to the printer and another via Samba over a network. The networked machine is printing properly across all applications. The one connected to the printer (parallel:/dev/lpt1) will not print from KDE applications, Firefox, and perhaps others. It does print from LibreOffice.

I have re-installed the printer several times (and reinstalled the OS, also) and looked at logs, all to no avail. As noted at the outset, the print dialog comes up with a grayed-out output file sending the print to a pdf file.

CUPS, the HP print manager, and other devices all indicate there is a connected printer.

Over the years, others have encountered a similar problem, but I am unable to determine whether and how they resolved the issue.

deano_ferrari · April 26, 2014, 12:15am

Can you please confirm that you followed eng-int’s advice to fully update your system?

w2tq · April 26, 2014, 12:18am

Yes, all updates through Yast and the updater on the desktop. Including any that might have been picked up through KDE Extras 13.1.

deano_ferrari · April 26, 2014, 12:49am

A couple of questions:

Do you have the ‘parallel-printer-support’ package installed? (I’m assuming you do, otherwise unlikely to have been detected in the first place)
When you set up your parallel printer, did you use the ‘hp-setup’ tool, or CUPS, or…?

Strangely the HPLIP page doesn’t suggest support for LPT printing

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_4050_series.html

w2tq · April 26, 2014, 1:23am

Thank you. Please ask any questions, as I may have overlooked something obvious.

The ‘parallel-printer-support’ package is installed.

I first used the automatic installation when the OS was installed (after reboot), then CUPS, the HP tool, and an applet called system-config-printer that apparently works with CUPS.

I too noticed the absence of parallel support on the HP page. But the printer shows up with the path parallel:/dev/lpt1. The port is physically on a SIIG card that plugs into a PCI slot.

Hmmm… it is a curious issue indeed. Does ‘hp-check -t’ turn up anything unusual? (This shouldn’t be necessary, but are you a member of the ‘lp’ group?)

Does it make a difference if the printer is turned on before you boot, (as opposed to after), with printing from KDE?

FWIW, a search turned up a similar issue reported (KDE + parallel printer)

https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?&t=25080

but I don’t think the solution relates to openSUSE at all.

Was there any particular reason you’re using the postcript driver? There are alternative drivers available (eg hplip)

Not knowing the nature of the problem, I can’t say whether they’ll be of any help.

Run 'hp-doctor' command to prompt and fix the issues. 

Done.

The check states that I should run hp-doctor. Alternatively, I could search in Yast for the missing dependencies, but that could lead to other problems. (I am also in the midst of straightening out dual monitors for an nVidia card, but they appear to be running OK without the nVidia driver installed! On both machines!)

When the printer is installed in CUPS, the postscript driver comes up as recommended for the printer - the one I am using and a multi-language version. Perhaps I should try the other, but I can’t see how that would make a difference.

Thanks, I saw the FreeBSD post and did some poking around but could not find a configuration file for qt or anything else that would use such an entry. I did see one file in /etc/sysconfig/ for cups, but not sure what I would enter (e.g., all allow, etc.):

Going back to hp-check (and thanks for that suggestion), should I try hp-doctor?

I will send the error.log in a separate post.

Thanks for your time.

Here is the /etc/sysconfig/cups file:

## Path:        System/Printing/CUPS

#
# change CUPSD_OPTIONS for arguments of start of cupsd

CUPSD_OPTIONS=""

As mentioned, I can’t see a reason to modify this file.

You’re using the wrong driver apparently.
“sample.drv” is only a sample file to show how to create a .drv file yourself. I don’t think it is really intended to be used for printing.
Select a different one.

Do you actually have any drivers installed?
Click on “Driver Packages” in YaST->Hardware->Printers and install some, hplip is of course the recommended one according to openprinting.org.

deano_ferrari · April 26, 2014, 1:12pm

Do you have hplip installed? If so, see if your printer is detected via the ‘hp’ backend by running it directly like this

/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp

You could also run

xdg-su -c hp-setup

and proceed to configure using this utility.
