[Gnome 3] cant print from USB printer, Fail to add new printer

HI all!
I installed the following:
cups
libcups
gutenprint
Then add your CUPS server's IP address or hostname into /etc/cups/client.conf, after ServerName. That is all you need. Every application should quickly find the printer(s) shared by that CUPS server.
did not understand what am i suppose to write in the client.conf: 127.0.0.1 or my hostname (thegrid)
it says that later version on cups does not require to blocklist the usblp but i did anyways
but it didnt work
i restarted the computer too
any suggestion

Hi, you can install "system-config-printer" ( i think resolve your issue).
sudo pacman -S system-config-printer.
I have a Cannon PIXMA 280. My steps to install the drivers( may be help you ) :
$ sudo pacman -S cups ghostscript gsfonts
$ sudo pacman -S kdeutils-print-manager gutenprint */KDE.
$ sudo pacman -S system-config-printer gutenprint */GNOME.
$ sudo systemctl start cups.service
$ sudo systemctl enable cups.service
Best Regards.

  • HP 8630 print from USB connection and wirelessly

    I have my HP 8630 set up with a USB connection to my PC.  How do I also set it up to print wirelessly from my laptop or IPAD while still retaining my USB connection?  Is that even possible to have two different methods for printing?

    Hi,
    You may keep both USB and network conenction with no issues.
    From the printer front panel click the Setup icon and then click on network and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your router.
    Once you are done the printer should now be accessible on the network and can be used on the iPad.
    On your PC open teh HP Officejet Pro 8630 software and open the Utilities tab.
    Click one Printer Setup & Software and select Connect a new printer.
    Follow the steps by selecting Wireless connection, at the end you should find two print queues of the pritner, one include Network in its name and then other one doesn't.
    Please let me know if you may experience any problem,

  • How can I print from my iPhone to a non AirPrint printer

    How can I print from my iPhone to a non AirPrint printer?  I was told by an Apple tech to do so via Airpot Express USB port. I already have a wired and wireless network and printers connected via Ethernet.  I am just trying to print from my iPad and/or iPhone to my existing printers...if possible. I tried the airport express but that does not appear to do what I need. Any help or a definitive "no way" would be appreciated.

    There are third-party apps that permit this. If on a MAC, get this:

    I have found that many have had great luck with the tips from

    OK I have tried;
    Printing from a Windows XP PC to a printer attached to an Airport Extreme Base Station or Airport Express
    http://tech.ifelix.net/1004.html
    When I set up I breeze through it UNTIL I get to
    :CREATE NEW PORT" I select the Standard TCP etc then I get the
    "Windows won't let you create it as it already exisits"
    I get lost when you say
    "if you have already created the port in a previous attempt then use the drop down list to select the previous port"
    BTW the printer in question is a new HP model OfficeJet J6480
    I have no clue what the previous port was ?
    Any tips ?

    Printopia is another option but be aware that since these solutions effectively act as a print server and AirPrint receiver, they require a computer to be running on the same WiFi network.
    Canon also has a couple of apps in the App Store that might facilitate this on non-AirPrint printers. Check out...

  • Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first to print from safari notes print no problem any suggestions?

    Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first time i have attempted to print from safari , notes print fine no problems. It is like on a desktop my print is sitting in the queue there are error messages only the usual print dialogue. I've turned the printer off and back on with no luck any suggestions?

    That's very strange.  See if clearing the cache in Safari will make it work.  I'll include the steps below.  If that doesn't help, install a different browser, such as Opera, to see if that will print from pages that Safari won't.  If it will, then something is wrong with Safari.  If it doesn't print, then the web pages might have printing blocked.  There are sites that are doing that for copyright reasons.  Let me know what you find.
    To clear the cache on Safari:
    Open Settings.
    Select Safari
    Touch Clear Cache.
    Select Clear.
    Touch Clear Cookies.
    Select Clear.
    Touch Clear History.
    Select Clear.

  • For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone.

    For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone 5. Any idea why?

    Gutenprint drivers are intended for non-laser printers. HP supplies the proper drivers, and you can download the latest version directly from HP's support site. Or you can install the most recent HP drivers provided by Apple.
    Printing speeds do not include the time it may take to transfer data to the printer. It also doesn't take into account the time it takes for the printer to be prepared to start printing. Color is much slower than B/W.
    Contact HP for any additional assistance you may need since these forums do not provide support for non-Apple products.

  • How to set up printing from my mac to a windows shared printer.

    I'm trying to print to an HP PSC 1610 All in One printer. Everything is good in the set up while adding a new printer on the mac. The windows workgroup shows up as does the printer. My problem is that the particular model does not show up in the drop down list of HP printers. How can I add it to that list, or basically, how can I get it to work?
    Thanks for your help.

    So here's how you might be able to do this.  I am not 100% if it will work or not, but in theory it sounds promising.  HP has printers which support AirPlay and another feature they call ePrint.  AirPlay is Apple's standard for allowing you to print from the iPad to an AirPlay-compatible printer.  But it requires that both the iPad and printer are on the same WiFi network.  You can use the tethering feature of the iPad (it costs extra from AT&T or Verizon so check into that) to create a WiFi hotspot.  I assume this would allow you to connect the printer to the hotspot and then use AirPlay to print to it, although I am not certain if the printer is able to connect to a hotspot via the tethering feature.  Or you can use the ePrint feature of the printer in which you "email" your document to the printer and it prints it.  Again, it would require that the printer be connected (tethered) to a WiFi hotspot first.  You'd also need a way to plug the printer into your truck - I know some newer vehicles actually provide a standard 110V recipticle vs. the cigarette lighter style.

  • Printing from Adobe Reader X; file turns to "Print" file (*.prn).

    When I try to print a PDF file from Adobe Reader X, the system presents me with a "SAVE" window with the PDF file renamed as a "Print" File (*.prn).  I am unable to print this.  However, if I locate the file in a folder, and click on it, then click "Print" from the drop-down menu, the file prints correctly.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and what can be done to correct it?
    I'm using Windows XP Professional on a slightly older IBM compatable computer.

    In the print dialog disable the entry 'Print to File'.

  • Uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded

    uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded@

    For starters, what exactly do you mean by "cannot print"?
    Are you getting an error message? Are you trying to print from within Reader or are you opening these in the browser? What version of Reader. Even though it's a new printer, the drivers that came with it (or the ones that were already on your computer) may be old so, have you downloaded the most recent drivers from the Brother site?

  • Printing from iWorks Pages on a HP 2600n printer with OS 10.4

    Whenever I go to print from iWorks Pages on a HP 2600n printer with OS 10.4 it does not let me print in black and white. On print, I select color with a slash through it and it says not available for this OS. Does someone know how to get around this or a software update around this.

    This forum is dedicated to the productivity application, AppleWorks. It is not a "catch-all" for how Apple computers work. For your Pages 3/'08 questions, post in the Pages ‘08 forum. For your Numbers questions, post in the Pages ‘08 forum. Both are located in the iWork '08 sub-category of the iWork category.
    For your HP printer, make sure you have the newest driver for your printer model & OS. Personally, I'd never have an HP printer - they don't "play nice" with either Pages or AppleWorks.

  • Is it possible to print from an iPhone 4s to an HP printer 4500 if the printer does not have Airprint?

  • Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN.

    Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN? My iPad is via WiFi connected to that LAN. The WiFi connection of the printer isn't used.

    My Canon MX715 printer is wired connected to the router. My iPad is via WiFi connected to the router.
    The printer could be connected via WiFi but I prefer the wired connection. So the printer is part of the LAN to which I get access with my iPad via a WiFi connection. A network scanner shows them all  connected into the LAN.
    My Windows Laptop also connected via WiFi to the same LAN finds the printer and works well every time.
    The iPad has troubles to find the printer.
    After a couples of hours by trial and error I found an app of Canon Easy PhotoPrint. After I installed the app I found my printer and could print. It worked for the apps at my iPad that have the print feature. After a while I discovered that the different apps at my iPad don't find the printer immediately every time when needed. After multiple trials it works again.
    So the big question that remains: Why doesn't it works always? Have I initialize something after start up or wake up the print access to the Lan?
