HP Officejet Cannot Setup

I just installed arch for the first time so I know nothing about any of this printer stuff. I need a GUI for printing and scanning. I have tried EVERYTHING I can find on the wiki cups, hplip, xsane, etc.
When I run hp-setup I get: [chad@archlinux ~]$ hp-setup -r
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.12.11)

error: Unable to load Qt4 support. Is it installed?
[chad@archlinux ~]$
If I run hp-setup -i
It asks me to to select I/O type. So I push 0 for usb.
It then appears to be working by saying Setting up device: hp:/usb/Officejet_4500_G510n-z?serial=CN1A6K30JG05HR
Then is says to enter name for this print queue. I push m for use model name.(Officejet_4500_G510n-z)
It then says: Using queue name: Officejet_4500_G510n-z
Locating PPD file... Please wait.
warning: No PPD found for model officejet_4500_g510n-z using new algorithm. Trying old algorithm...
error: No PPD found for model officejet_4500_g510n-z using old algorithm.
error: Unable to find an appropriate PPD file.
would you like to specify the path to the correct PPD file to use (y=yes, n=no*, q=quit) ?
Do I have this PPD file somewhere or something? Can someone please help me here I need this for school and quick!
Thanks a ton, Chad.
BTW I would like to just be able to click print in libre office and have it work. Is this even possible?

Try cups and hplip.
Start cups and point browser to http://localhost:631/ I think it is.

  • Cannot setup Share on wrt350n

    Can someone please explain to me how to setup a share on the wrt350n? The router can see the drive. But I cannot setup a share on it. When I'm on the Storage tab> then in the Share tab: I can type in a name for a share, but the Share Folder option is grayed out and inaccessible.
    Someone please help.
    I'm using a IDE to USB drive.
    As I said before the drive recognizes all 160Gb of storage, but I cannot setup any shares in order to access the drive.
    Lastly,
    Once setup, can someone explain to me how to access the files on the drive?
    Thanks

    Hi… Once the once you create a share you need to assign access policy (read, read/write) for that share. So your can assign the users/groups with this share access policy and depending upon the policy you can either read or read and write to this disk or have no access at all.
    So make sure, everything is configure properly, I believe you should be able to access the drive.

  • Cannot Setup BBM - Temporary Bbm server error has occured

    I'm using a BB curve 9380 OS 7.1
    Carrier - Vodafone.
    I have 84.8 MB free of Application Storage.
    I haven downloaded only Whatsapp and Screen Grabber.
    I recently downloaded BBM 8 and the the very next day l have problems with changing my display picture. I tried rebooting the phone quite a few times but it didn't help.
    So I downloaded BBM 7 hoping it would work normally. But I started facing the same problem again.
    Then I decided to download BBM 6.2. I lost all my bbm contacts and once I started re-adding people I wasn't receiving any updates.
    Then a friend suggested I do a security wipe of my phone. After which the phone worked normally but I still faced problems with BBM I would always get the message " Cannot Setup BBM - A temporary BBM server error has occurred".
    I have a back up of my BBM contacts which can only be restored on the BBM 7&8 versions
    I have also tried:
    Resending service books
    And also registering the device through Host Routing Table.
    Hope someone can help me with this

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    This KB exists:
    KB33652"Temporary Server Error" or "There is no BBM account associated with this email address" is displayed when attempting to move an existing BBM account to the BlackBerry 10 smartphone
    Unfortunately, it offers nothing useful...hence, I recommend you contact your mobile service provider for formal support and likely escalation up to BlackBerry for enhanced support.
    Good luck!

  • Cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will not send mail ?

    cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will place messages in out box and not send ?

    It could be that your ISP wants you to use a specific outgoing mail server. Check with your ISP. Sometimes they will only allow you to use their outgoing mail server when you're on their network and not your own. For example, if you use Optimum Online they may only let you use mail.optonline.com for outgoing so you couldn't use mail.yourdomain.com.
    They do this to cut down on people sending spam from their networks.

  • Cannot setup mail account in Outlook 2007

    I cannot setup my @me.com mail account on outlook. I have tried the various settings, including imap.mail.me.com variations, changing the ports, etc. Once I have setup my account, I am continuously asked by Outlook for my username and password. When I try to click on the @me.com folder, outlook crashes. Strangely, iCloud seems to be able to sync my contacts without this mail account setup (!?), so I do have the iCloud folder.
    Any help would be appreciated, as I am trying to sync my Vista laptop, iPad1, and IPhone3GS.

    You know, I have an old e-mac running 10.4.11 and it runs mail just fine. Then I get to Leopard, enter the same info and it won't send or receive mail. I just tried to send an e-mail and here's the message i get: cannot send the message using gpcom.net
    "gpcom.net" doesn't sound like the name of a mail server. Those often have names like "pop.gpcom.net" or "smtp.gpcom.net". What server names do the instructions of your mail service tell you to use? Are you trying to use a POP3 or IMAP service?
    no login required
    That's uncommon, at least for reading of e-mail.

  • Cannot setup work email using SSL on non standard port

    All,
      I've been trying now for a few hours to setup a corporate email account.  I've tried via the curve and via the bb internet service but in both cases since the service cannot detect the settings since a non standard port is in use I cannot use the the service and am considering returning the device to go with another easier to use device.  I love the hardware design but if I cannot setup my corporate email this is no good to me.  I'd appreciate any tips anyone has.
    Thanks,
      Frustrated.

  • Cannot setup mail in ipod

    -cannot setup mail in ipod
    i have referenced & reviewed the online support pages, tutorials &
    forum support groups.
    still i am unable to setup mail on my ipod. the major problem is that i
    havent been able to find a glossary that explains the terminology used
    in the setup instructions. i need definitions & then how to supply what
    information required to that particular item.
    i have no idea what a server host, outgoing server, incoming host,
    smpt, imap, pop nor any of the other terms used within the setup pages.
    please explain the procedure, along with definitions of what it is that
    i'll be doing step by step.
    all i can tell you is that through either safari or internet explorer,
    i use mail.com as my email service.
    thanks for your help.

    I had the same problem... I just bought an iMac, it is my first Mac ever, but I have been using iPhones since 2008 and iPads since 2011. 
    OS X would not allow me to log into my yahoo acct thru system preferences/mail, contacts, calendars.
    I got everything resolved....but I did NOT have to change my Yahoo password...all I had to do was use Safari to log into my Yahoo webmail account and it asked me if I wanted to add this account to mail.app on my iMac.  I said "Yes" and it presented me with choices of what I wanted to be active (you can choose mail, notes, calendar, etc) I just chose mail only.
    However I do have two yahoo accounts, and I could not use the same procedure with my secondary yahoo account.
    With the secondary yahoo acct, I tried using Safari webmail to prompt me to add the acct, like it did with my first yahoo acct.  But no go.  So I went back to system preferences/mail, contacts, calendars.  Still no go. 
    I finally got my second yahoo acct set up using sys pref, but I had to set it up as "Other Acct" not as a "Yahoo" acct.
    Hope this helps!

  • E72 - cannot setup email using WLAN

    Hi,
    I cannot setup any email account using a WLAN connection. It keeps directing me to the network connection. Is there a way around this? 

    I've faced the same problem and it is annoying!
    I couldn't set up my emails through my WLAN connection. I have always a WLAN access point(in home and in my campus). I don't need any GPRS(or say 3G) connection but just for that problem i purchased a weekly connection package. I checked the priority settings but I couldnt. Nokia should take an action about this
    My Nokia history:
    3110-3210-3310-3330-5210-6110-6210-6630-5510-1600-6330-E50-E55-2690-E72

  • Cannot setup email

    I'm new to using a blackberry, recieved a pre-used Pearl 9105. It seems as though its been "wiped" hence i cannot setup my email on it. I cant find the email setup icon anywhere?
    Although when I go tho Settings-Options-Applications-Core there are details of the applications properties? Does this suggest that it was once there?
    Please help? How can I restore email on the device?

    There should be an icon that says "Setup". In there is the option to set up Email. (I think it's the same on OS 5 and 6...)
    Alternatively you can go into your messages->menu->"Options"
    "Email Account Management"
    This is assuming that you have a viable data plan to send and receive emails...

    The Cannot Setup Sync message indicates that you don't have internet access. Check that you can get your phone online (3g or wifi) and then try to connect again.
