HP Laserjet Pro P1102W not printing even though it's installed...

Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to Arch, especially new with configuring cups. I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro p1102w wireless printer. I set it up on my dads laptop via plugging it into the usb and it automatically ran the setup program and I selected to set the printer up for wifi printing. All went well and the printer works now wirelessly from his computer (Windows 7). I've been working at getting this printer to actually print without error but it refuses.
I'm trying to print from leafpad, just a simple text file with little in it other than "linux test print" in the file. The print queue states "Processing - Not connected?" then it fails and gives me the option to "diagnose" the issue. So I click Diagnose. Then it pops up with a message stating that the "print server not exporting printers". It tells me to enable the "Publish shared printers connected to this system" through the printing administration panel which is in Gnome apparenetly (I'm in XFCE) under System>Administration>Printing from the main menu. In XFCE there is no such area.
I have cups version 1.5.0-1
hplip 3.11.7-2
What else should I do? Apparently the printer was installed successfully. I tried installing it and selecting the HPlip driver which installed fine but wouldn't print. Then I removed that one and installed it using the Apple driver (airprint?) and it won't print either.
I've tried searching for help but all I find is that it will work with hiplip installed... It isn't working with that installed.
I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem? I've opened the cups config page but I don't understand it and it says allow,deny under localhost or ugh i dont know, something about which users can access the server. Should I remove the "deny"??
Please help me if you can. I'm totally lost and have no idea what to do to get this printer working on my installation of arch. Arch is fully updated as of a few days ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem?
Absolutely.
If you are starting cupsd from DAEMONS in rc.conf is it starting correctly or failing? If your not you should be. if it failing does start manually work?
if it's running you should be able to access via browser. localhost:631
also see/try
$ hp-toolbox
CUPS interface better option IMO tho.
EDIT spelling.... to much scotch B4 posting

Canon printer not printing even though query says "printing"

I am having problem setting up my printer (Canon MF4350d) with Mac.
I installed the printer by using the disc provided with the printer. Everything went fine. When I try to "print" I see the printing query, and it even says x% is sent over and such. But… when in fact, nothing is actually being printed out at all.
I looked at the following setting:
Printer & Fax -> Option & Supplies -> under the tab "Driver" I have Generic PCL Laser Printer selected because my printer model is not on the list. I don't know if that might be the reason…
My printer says Canon MF4320-4350
I have Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard
I looked up in the other thread (Click here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12440612#12440612)
I don't see the UFR2 folder under Canon :/
Please help.
Thank you in advance.

This will be the reason. The MF4350 does not support the PCL or Postscript printing languages. You need to use the proprietary Canon UFRII driver. Delete this print queue as it will not work.
I looked up in the other thread (Click here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12440612#12440612)

Then this would indicate that you have not installed the Canon UFRII driver. Rather than using the provided disc I suggest you download the UFRII driver from the [Canon web site|http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printersmultifunction/imageclass_series/imageclassmf4350d#DriversAndSoftware]. After you download and unpack the file you can run the installer which will create the UFR2 folder under the Canon folder.
Once the UFR2 driver has been installed you can then select to add the printer, this time ensuring the Print Using menu shows the MF4350. Note that when you do select the printer you will get a prompt stating that the driver is not installed. Ignore that and open the Print Using menu and click 'Select printer software'. This will present a list of installed drivers and a search window. Type MF43 and you will see the MF4350 UFRII driver in the list. Select it and OK and then click Add to complete the new print queue creation. Now try printing - this should get a lot further than the previous Generic PCL.

My 8500a pro won't print even though it says printing. i have to turn it off and then on again.

I have to turn it off and on again to get it to print.

Try upgrading the product firmware following the below steps:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-89897-4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Apart from that, if you are using Wifi connection, try selecting IPv4 connectivity.
To do that, you can go to the printer ip address from your PC browser (http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx)
Select the Network tab> Network Protocols> Enable IPv4 Only.
Some times, the network environment is contributes to unstability. Above mode at times does help resolve this issue.

HP LaserJet Pro M1217nfw Multifunction Printer - No TWAIN Compliant is installed.

I was trying to scan using the LaserJet Scan. However, I have received a message "There is no TWAIN-compliant device installed. Please install one and try again". I have searched on google but I was unable to find one. Please also note that I was also trying to uninstall the driver, but I was unable to do so because it stated that one or more of the printers listed above have pending print jobs. Printers with pending jobs cannot be removed until the jobs are completed.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my post.

LibGL not found even though nvidia-libGL installed

Hi,
This is on a fresh install. I'm trying to get LXQT and sddm going, but after I've enabled sddm I just boot to a black screen. I can switch to TTYs. I tried to see if LXQT was working, so I disabled sddm and used exec startlxqt, and libGL.so.1 cannot be found flashes on a screen before it logs me out (I actually had to use a video camera to see what it said). I installed xorg and xorg-xinit and nvidia and nvidia-libgl and nvidia-utils. The journalctl log for sddm says 'Auth: sddm-helper exited with 127'.
Thanks in advance for the help! I apologize for not posing logs and such directly, but I have to type this up on my phone.

when i go to open it tell me that my iTunes folder cannot be found or created and that it should be located in My Music folder.
The best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
… but if you run into the complication where “My Music” doesn’t appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

LaserJet Pro P1102w dropping connection

I hope someone can help. We have been having a long term issue with our HP LaserJet Pro P1102w wifi printer keeping a stable connection to our network. It connects to our network via wifi. It is in a high signal wifi area of the office.
In the printer network settings I have tried setting the printers IP as static and also tried it as dynamic being assigned by our DHCP server.
The problem is the printer keeps randomly dropping connection in that we can no longer print to the printer / access the printers webpage or ping the printer. The problems is fixed by either powering down and restarting the printer or if you leave the printer after a period of time the printer will once again be contactable (by doing nothing).
I have updated the printers firmware, computers printer drivers. Checked network settings but just cannot resolve the issue.
It's driving me crazy!

Thanks for the clarification Angus,
Try disabling the Auto Off feature, this current configuration actually turns the printer Off after 5 minutes idle (Any key pressing will turn the printer On, but any remote command as printing or accessing the printer page will fail..
You may enter the EWS by entering the printer IP through Safari.
Enter the Settings tab.
Select Print Settings and turn the Auto Off after as Never.
Click Apply and reboot the device, then check for any change.
Now reboot the device and check for any chnage,

HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer - Firmware Upgrade

In her apartment, my elderly mother has an HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer, that I set up for her.
It’s hooked up, via WiFi, to her Router that's attached to her Cable Modem.
She doesn't have her own PC. She has only the printer.
When the printer was first purchased, I brought the printer and my Windows XP laptop to her home and installed the printer there.
I email documents to her printer's HP ePrint email address, and I also print web pages to the printer using Google Cloud Print. I do this from my own home, to send her information from the Internet.
An email was received today, saying the following:
"A free firmware upgrade is required to keep your ePrint and associated Print Apps service working. Please go to www.hp.com/go/eprint, download the newest firmware, and continue using your ePrint solution. If you do not complete the upgrade, your ePrint and Print Apps may not work after Hewlett-Packard has finished a service upgrade on 08/07/2013.
Devices requiring the free firmware upgrade are as follows:
HP LaserJet Pro P1100 Series (model HP LaserJet Pro P1102w)”
Is there any way for me to use my Windows XP laptop, to connect to the printer, remotely over the Internet, via the printer's HP ePrint email address, or via the HP Connected account, or in any other way,
and initiate the printer’s firmware upgrade, without leaving my home?
Thank you.

Printer installation stops halfway -HP LaserJet Pro P1102w

I'm currently using Windows 8
I recently bought the HP LaserJet Pro P1102W
The problem i'm having is that halfway through the inatalltion process it brings up a window saying "waiting for you to connect the printer" but the thing is I already have it conneted. I even follow the steps that it shows. But that doesn't work at all.
I've been trying to setup using a usb connection from the printer to the computer.

Hi @istayupallnight ,
I see that you are having issues setting up the printer on a USB connection. The computer isn't recognizing the cable being connected. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Restart the printer and make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware issue. If the printer isn't in a Ready State, the computer won't recognize it. Printing a Configuration Page. Select Method two.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue. The most recent operating system listed is Windows 7. If you have any difficulty navigating to specific windows just let me know.

Here is a document to turn off any programs running in the background for Windows 8 before running the install again.

Prints last page twice: HP LaserJet Pro P1102w

My HP LaserJet Pro P1102w prints the last page of the last job as the first page of the new job every time. The entire job prints every time (i.e that last page prints with the new job as the last page and also as the first page of the next job). The printer is on my wireless network (WPA password). I have tried rebooting the printer and there are no jobs shown in the print spool. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi there again;
This IP address 192.168.0.105 are you sure that this is the IP address of your router?
Let's make sure, print a configuration page for your printer; on how to do so follow this;
Windows Vista : Click the Windows icon ( ), click Control Panel , and then double-click Printers .
Right-click the icon for your product, click Printing Preferences , and then click the Services tab.
From the Print Information Pages drop-down list, click Configuration Page , and then click Print .
Is the 192.168.0.105 address what you see as the IP address for the printer.
Is this address outside of the DHCP range? (To see what is the DHCP range of your router refer to your router manual or insternet service provider ISP if the latter provide you the router.)
Hope this helps!

I have a HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
Model: CE657A
Serial [Edited for Personal Information]
purchased Staples 10/13/13
It worked until yesterday when my ISP replaced my modem
It is connected wirelessly and now it doesn't work at all, and when I look in Control Panel, I don't see any printer
How can I get this to work again?

Hi @NYCJudy,
I understand that you had the modem replaced and now the printer isn't working over the wireless network. I can help you with this but I will need some more information to provide the proper steps, depending on what operating system you are using.
We will need to restore the defaults on the printer and then configure the printer over the network again.
