Can't add my HP printer.

Hi,
First I opened the Printer Configuration utility in System Settings in KDE. I can't do anything there. All the check boxes are grayed out for the server settings. I then thought cups wasn't running, but it is. I did sudo /etc/rc.d/cups start, but cups was already running. I also opened HPLIP and tried to add the printer there. It gets detected, but when I click Add Printer I get an error pop-up saying: Printer queue setup failed.
Please restart CUPS and try again. I get the same in the terminal when I run sudo hp-setup. I know the printer works since I can print from other Linux machines without problem using HPLIP.
I'm on Arch 32
What could the problem be?

Try adding it in CUPS web interface (http://localhost:613).
Try adding yourself to the lp group.
Peruse http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cups.

  • How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible

    How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible..?

    Hi @millep 
    To answer your question, no the Officejet 2620 is not a wireless printer;
     - Source: Printer specifications
    As for the USB cable, personally, I believe the intention is to bring down the cost of the printer by selling the USB cable separately. Many people already have printer USB cables kicking around the house, so instead of paying more for the printer and having an extra cable I believe the theory is reduce the cost and sell the USB separately for those who need to purchase one.
    I hope this answers your inquiry.

  • How can I add header on printing with Numbers

    How can I add header on printing with Numbers? The previous version use to have it and I cannot find it in the new one ...

    Hi Tanya,
    Glad to hear that you found how to edit page headers and footers in Numbers 3.2. I agree that Help in Numbers 3 is woeful. No searchable PDF to download and use offline. All is online (one page at a time) and we need to know the terms we are looking for before we look.
    The first HelpDesk:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ
    For printing to paper where layout is important, I use Numbers '09 (Numbers 2.3) with its Print View. But it is orphanware. As the name suggests, there has not been a major overhaul since 2009. With that in mind, it is a useful version to hang onto while we hope and wait (and provide feedback to Apple) for something in future versions of Numbers 3.x to provide better layout capability.
    Indeed, each new update of Numbers 3.x has restored more of the old features while adding new features that are enhancements over Numbers '09. Many of the Numbers 3 enhancements reflect long-awaited wishes through this forum, and were passed on by Numbers Feedback to Apple. So it seems that Apple does take heed of feedback.
    In the meantime, I enjoy the charm of Numbers '09 whilst exploring the new features of Numbers 3.
    What has been GAINED in Numbers 3 is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5473882?start=75&tstart=0
    (Very long thread because it started with Numbers 3.0, and enhancements have continued through Numbers 3.2).
    Hints on workarounds in Numbers 3 is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23622372#23622372
    Some workarounds are no longer needed, but what amazes me is how many Numbers '09 features (the so-called "lost" features) were not lost; the settings have simply been moved. Moreover, many features such as margin settings carry over with a Numbers '09 document or template into Numbers 3.
    Hints for layout on screen before printing to paper:
    Try Alignment Guides and Rulers as suggested here:
    Print View workarounds
    Use a layout guide:

  • Can't add a new printer...

    I am unable to add a new printer using the printer setup utility in system prefs.
    I am logged in as Administrator
    I am unable to add a new printer through the "add printer" dialogue in the printing preferences of any of my applications.
    Why can't I detect them somehow and re-add them?

    Welcome to the Discussions Westar,
    Just a few questions to start out:
    Have you tried to Repair Permissions with Disk Utilities found in /Applications/Utilities?
    Have you done any other repair/troubleshooting?
    Were these printers already working with your system?
    What is the make/model of the printer(s)?

  • Can't add a new printer UF II

    Hi,
    We've a new Canon printer through the network and I'm trying to install it following the manual steps (install UFR II ... add printer.... more printers... selected Canon IP (UFR II).... added direction (valid and complete)) but then, when I click add, nothing happens, I can't add the printer!!
    Any hints?
    Thanks in advance, regards, Jackie.

    Hi Jackie,
    In reading your reply I would guess that the person who blocked the IP address has most likely done something that is stopping your access to the printer. To see if you have access to the Canon, you can open Network Utility and select the Ping tab. If you then input the IP address of the Canon, set the Pings to 4 and then press Ping, you will get a response if your Mac can connect or no response if there is no path from your Mac to the printer.
    If you get a response then the next thing to check is the port configuration you have used to connect to the Canon. The UFR2 driver only supports Line Printer Daemon-LPD or HP Jetdirect-Socket. If you used IPP then this would explain your issue. If you did use Socket or LPD, then it is possible that the port can be disabled on the Canon. If you could print a Network User Data list from the Canon then you could see if these ports (LPD and RAW) are enabled. If you cannot access these settings in the Canon, you could look at one of the other computers that is printing. Here you could check what port configuration they are using. If you need help with how to check the port setting then please reply.

  • How can you add your own print and export buttons to the CR viewer toolbar?

    I posted a previous question that was asking how to get around the Information Bar in IE7 when you export and print.  Unfortunately the CR viewer file download code gets blocked by IE7 because the buttons don't directly download the file.  However, I have been able to get a regular button that calls the following code and streams the file to the client and IE7 does not block it. 
    Sub PrintPDF(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
         Dim crReportDocument as ReportDocument
         Dim crExportOptions as ExportOptions
         Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions as DiskFileDestinationOptions
         Dim Fname as string
         CrReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
         CrReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("estactionlist.rpt"))
         Fname = Server.MapPath("./") & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = FName
         CrExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
         With crExportOptions
              .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
              .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
              .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
         End With
         CrReportDocument.Export()
         Response.ClearContent()
         Response.ClearHeaders()
                    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=test.pdf")
                    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
                    Response.Charset = ""
                    Response.WriteFile(Fname)
                    Response.Flush()
         Response.Close()
         System.IO.File.Delete(Fname)
    End Sub
    So here are my questions?
    1. Is it possible to add a custom print control/icon to the CR viewer toolbar?
    2. If one is not possible, then is it possible to override the CR viewer print and export buttons with your own subroutines like the one above?
    I just want my page to look nice and hate to have print and export buttons outside of my CR viewer. 
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    It might be possible to replace the buttons in a windows app since you can retrieve the toolbar as a toolbar object in the winform viewer  ( ToolStrip toolBar = (ToolStrip) crystalReportViewer1.Controls[3]; )  however with a web app, it's a lot more difficult.
    The problem is that that you need to parse the Request string to try and figure out if the print / export button was clicked.  The code below makes the print button disappear if you click it, so you should be able to modify it to call your custom printing / exporting code instead  (You have to do this check in a postback)
            Dim I As Integer = 0
            If Request.Form.AllKeys.Length > 0 Then
                For I = 0 To Request.Form.AllKeys.Length - 1
                    Response.Write(Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString & "<BR>")
                    If Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString = "CrystalReportViewer2:_ctl2:_ctl2.x" Then
                        CrystalReportViewer2.HasPrintButton = False
                    End If
                Next
           End If

  • Can not add my new printer to the print and scan preferences

    I have purchased a Canon Pixma MG5350 and try to connect it to my mac but with no results. I have installed all the drivers but can not add it to the print and scan preferences. I looked in Applications > Utilities > System Information > USB and it does not even show that it is connected. The printer comes without a USB so I bought a 5m USB 2.0 A to B cable and eventually something is wrong. Is the USB too long, not the right one or what is the problem?

    I have already got my refund for the cable! I tried a friends cable and everything works!

  • Can't add Epson R2400 printer

    I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.1 on a 24-inch, Early 2009 iMac.
    I have a USB-connected Epson R2400 printer.  I was having trouble in Photoshop where I couldn't get the printer settings dialog to appear.  I figured maybe the drivers needed to be re-installed after upgrading to Mountain Lion, so I deleted the printer in the System Preferences.
    Then I went to Epson's website to download the driver package and found that they no longer had it for Mountain Lion -- it says only available from Apple from inside OS X.
    Then I went to the System Preferences Print & Scan applet and tried to add the printer.  I select the R2400 from the list and it helpfully says "The selected printer software is available from Apple.  Click Add to download it and add this printer."
    When I do so, after a few minutes of it saying "Setting up 'EPSON Stylus Photo R2400...'" and "Finding software..." I get this error:
    "Can't install the software for the EPSON Stylus Photo R2400 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    When I look at what processes are running during the "Finding software..." phase I see PrintUITool running and it seems to fork getPPDVersion several times. After about the third time getPPDVersion runs I get the 'not currently available' error.
    In an attempt to manually force the install, I deleted the /Library/Printers/EPSON directory and manually downloaded the Epson Printer Drivers v2.11 dmg from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 and re-ran that installer.  The end result was the EPSON directory reappeared and yet, when I try to then add the printer again, I get exactly the same error as before.
    Any suggestions on how I can add my printer?
    Thank you,
    --Jim Dempsey--

    OK, I hadn't tried rebooting after re-installing the Epson Printer Driver package.  I rebooted and then I was able to add the printer.
    I don't like rebooting because I typically have dozens of active windows open and many network resources mounted and since the installer didn't tell me that I had to reboot, I didn't.
    Still, it seems like that did the trick.

  • How can I add a shared printer USB plugged to the Time Capsule (on a windows vista PC)

    Setting up an airport network was very easy, and is very intuitive and friendly working on a mac.  However, I tried to install the shared printer remotely on a windows vista PC and... well, that's a diffrent story.  Can anybody help?  Thanks!

    If you have not already done so, you will need to download,  install and run Bonjour for Windows on the PC.
    If you have already done this, what error messages are you receiving?

  • How can I add a new printer in Classic?

    I recently re-installed OS X following a printing problem on my iBook G4 which has system 10.3.9 and Classic. All works fine except that I still need to use Classic for one application and to print from it. I have an HP Deskjet 5150 that used to work fine. I can print on it from OS X but in Classic the printer in not in the chooser nor in Utlity Printing Service so obviously I can't select it to try to print. What do I have to do to get the printer in chooser? I also want to put Acrobat writer in the chooser but I imagine it's the same process?
    Please help I've spent a long time on it already without success!

    I've requested a moderator move your thread to the appropriate forum. No action is needed on your part.
    Just for your info, MacBooks can't run Classic, so your question is not as likely to be known the answer to by MacBook owners unless they have had previous experience, or also have machines able to run Classic.
    I've written a FAQ that contains some articles on printing in Classic*:

    Not sure which one will work for you.

  • Can we add 1024 column print format

    HI,
    I want to print wide lists with more than 255 columns,does SAP supports more than 255 Column?
    Regards,
    Kumar

    Hi Kumar.
    1.The maximum line width is 1,023 characters so you can not have line more than 1023 coloumns in list report.
    2.SAP does support more than 255 but not over 1023 which is sepecified in "slist_max_linesize" of Type Group SLIST.The problem is what is the printer  can print more than 255 columns.
    3.If you want to see the report more 1023 you need to make it in ALV report that is.
    Hope it helps you get some concept.

  • Can't add Wireless HP printer

    I have just bought an HP wireless scan/copy/printer Officejet 7500A. It has found my wireless network (BTBusinessHub) successfully. However, it does not appear in my 'Add printer' lists - under Appletalk. How do I add it as a printer? How do I get it to be seen? My MacBook Pro runs OS 10.5.8 and is plugged directly into the router.
    Please help, otherwise the scanner is useless.
    Thanks.

    The HP Deskjet 5940 does not appear to be supported by the hpiijs and ESP ghostscript suggested according to the link in the support documentation provided at the address given. Also, as previously mentioned, the printer does work fine wirelessly via the Netgear device for the two Dell (Windows) laptops. Any other suggestions? Other drivers that have been used with success for this particular printer?
