HP Deskjet F4440 not printing from cups, do I need ppd? Where can I find it?

Hello!,
I am trying to get my HP Deskjet F4440 connected to my linux server through the use of "cups". I am using Tiny Core Linux.
Linux box 3.16.6-tinycore #777 SMP i686 GNU/Linux
I have installed and configured cups.tcz. When I visit the cups admin page at 'localhost:631' and go to 'add a new printer', the HP Deskjet shows up and it guides me through the rest of the process. At one point it asks what make and model the printer is for what I assume is for drivers, or it asks for a ppd file.
I have tried searching for a PPD file for my printer but was unable to find it so I used what was avaialble... I selected 'HP' as the make and 'HP Deskjet series (en)' as the model. They did not have my model but I assumed it fell under this.
The printer gets added and shows up under the 'Printer' tab of cups. I set the printer to server default and clicked 'Print test page'.
Do I need a PPD file? How can I get this printer working?
It shows the print started with either 21% or 25% sometimes and then disapears. No error messages. No printed pages or activity from the printer.

Hi @Flawd009,
I can honestly say, I do not know the answer to your question, but perhaps I can help you find it.
I wonder if the following information would be helpful; OpenPrinting CUPS Quick Start.
If not, please remember I am out of my support boundaries and thought it was better to try and fail than not try at all
You might have better luck reaching out to the Linux Community, or the Linux website.
EDIT: I found 2 more links that could be helpful;

I lost the grey, round shaped rubber placed under the magic trackpad to support clicking. the rubber detached from the trackpad and lost. Where can i find the thing as i am not sure whether apple sell small spare part like this?

i had lost the grey, round shaped rubber placed under my magic trackpad. i think it detached from the trackpad body and lost. where can i get this small spare part as i couldn't find this small spare part in apple store?

Wish I could be more positive but as far as I can see, the solution is to make something for yourself and tape it on. It appears they do not supply a proper replacement and Ifixit, the usual people say they don't have them.
Here is a company that supply rubber feet. It may be worth contacting them and asking if they have something that will do the job.

My touch does not have the apple contacts app on it where can i find it to download it. it was originally on the touch i believe

Where can I FIND THE SAME CONTACT APP THAT IS ON MY LION MAC SOFTWARE AND USE IT ON MY 4TH GEN ITOUCH . I CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND THE APP TO DOLOAD IT. THX

- If you are talking about the Contacts app that came with the iPod, that can't be deleted or hidden or redownloaded..
- Have yu sed the Spotlight search on the iPod to try to find it? I suspect it is on the iPod and you just can't find it.
- You can go to Settings>General>Reet>Reset Screen Layout to help find it.
- You can also try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1? My iPad can't find the printer. Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1? I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer. But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago. Suggestions??

Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it. So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

I imported vacation photos, got the color wheel and did a force quit. Now I can't find any of those photos, and of course I deleted them from the SD card when I imported them. Where can I find those photos?

I imported vacation photos from my cameras SD card and deleted them when the import was complete. Then I moved them from Events into an Album. When trying to move 2 photos as once to another album I got the color wheel and locked up. I did a force quit but when I go back into iPhoto none of the recently imported photos appear - not in Events, the album, trash, etc. Where can I find those photos?

backup the iPhoto Library and launch iPhoto while depressing and holding the option and command keys until the first aid window appears - rebid your iPhoto library

My wireless HP Deskjet 3050 printer will not print from web sites.

My HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer will not print from web sites - it prints ok from WORD, etc. I keep getting the error message: "An unknown error occurred while printing." This problem only arises with Firefox browser.
The printer is connected wirelessly to a network and this occurs when I use a laptop on the network. It is also connected via cable to a desktop computer but there is no problem in printing from the desktop.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

That sounds as if you need to investigate to see if you were able to clear all of the paper that was causing the jam.
Best regards,
erico

HT4356 Epson Artisan 837 will not print from IPhone

I have an IPhone 5 and an Epson Artisan 837 printer. When I attempt to print from my Ihone 5 I always receive an error message:
"out of paper, paper jammed, or incorrect paper size".
In reality,it is none of these things. I can print from my IPhone 5 to my Brother printer via the router connected to my computer, but the Epson is via WiFi/AirPrint.
Someone tried printing from their IPhone 5 to my Epson and it worked perfectly, but it WILL NOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 5.

Hp envy 4500 will not print from windows 8. Thinks it prints, but it doesn't.

Am trying to print from my Toshiba laptop running Windows 8 to my HP Envy 4500 wirelessly. Works fine from my ipad, works fine from my desktop and laptop running Windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed the printer driver 5 times. Printer is recognized, has an IP addrress, and will print an internal test page. When I print to it from my Windows 8 machine, the file goes in the queue, gets a port, and then disappears as if it was printed. Nothing prints. Please help, this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating.

I can not print from Firefox, Firefox is not responding

I can not print from Firefox on one PC in my office. At one time printing was operable from Firefox on this PC, the user told me about one month ago Firefox would no longer print.
I went to the users PC - Windows XP Professional SP3 - Firefox opens no problem, I can go to any website, but when I click on the print icon, or file, print, nothing happens. I do not see the print icon in the task bar which shows you something is spooling, printing, I open Task Manager and I see Firefox is Not responding. I must end task.
We can print anything else on the PC, Internet Explorer 8 prints successfully, just Firefox will not print.
I also uninstalled the network printer, re-installed. Connected to another network printer, Firefox still will not print.
I also uninstalled the latest version of Firefox on the PC 15.0.1, went back a few versions and Firefox still will not print.
Can someone assist why Firefox refuses to print and when you try to print Firefox goes to a Not responding status ?
Thanks,
Bob

LaserJet Pro Scans, prints test page but will not print from a file

I installed a LaserJet Pro200 MFP M276nw on my wife's Toshiba Satellite (Windows 7 64Bit OS) laptop yesterday (Printer is brand new out of the box). I installed with a wireless connection. It will print a test page and also scan wirelessly but will not print from a file i.e. a PDF. I installed it on my HP Probook this morning and it works fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The thought of paying Geek Squad 75 bucks rubs me the wrong way, especially since i just paid them 100 for an extended warranty. Thanks!

Welcome to the HP Forums JBottensek,
I see by your post that the printer won't print a PDF document from the one computer.
I can help you with this issue.
I have provided a document to go through the steps which should resolve this issue for not being able to print PDF documents. Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader.

Have a nice day!
Thank You.
