HPLIP auto install: does it work?

I just bought an HP printer. Then I was installing HPLIP during 2.5 days; more than expected. (Needless to say I was cursing HP the last day). Now I am happy to succeed, but I also feel that it was a good luck. I think this story should be shared.
I am a Linux user since 1998, of rather low geekness. Almost always I use precompiled binaries. Thus I hoped to use auto install (and ultimately did). Last years I use Debian.
It seems I understand now the origin of the problem. People of hplipopensource.com take the current release of Debian (among other distros), and adapt auto-installer to this release. After that, Debian people include this new version of auto-installer to the next release of Debian. And so on. As a result, the auto-installer never works! It always complains that this release is not supported yet.
I installed Debian 7.1 from my (somewhat old) DVDs. I instructed the installer not to use any network mirror. Do not laugh, this is essential. (When I did otherwise, I got Debian 7.4 instead of 7.1 - not supported yet...) According to this Debian release, the Installation Wizard gave me auto-installer 'hplip-3.14.1.run'. Running it I got a message: "Disable the CD sources in your apt sources list". Frankly, I use Synaptic rather than apt. Well, I've found this /etc/apt/sources.list and commented out all CD sources. Running hplip again I saw that it fails to install even gcc. Well, no wonder: no network mirror. I added a network mirror. The rest was rather easy.
So, I got the impression that a not-so-geeky Linux user, like me, have some positive, but rather small probability to pass through all timing conditions before selling his/her new HP printer. Indeed, if Linux is quite new, it is not yet supported. If it is a bit older than needed, a new hplip fails for this reason, while an old hplip does not support the brand new printer (I guess so; I did not try). And most importantly: the hplip site tells me that
    Debian 7.1 supplies HPLIP 3.12.6 and it does support your printer.
    As the version of HPLIP supplied with your operating system supports your printer, you may continue to use that version of HPLIP.
That is true; but it forgets to add that my distro contains an outdated version; it just does not work. What a catch!
Or maybe I am naive somehow? Others seem to feel better. What do I miss?
This question was solved.

Wow, it does work, the HPLIP auto install!
See my session below.
The following five points appeared to be critical for me.
1. The hplip site says:
 "Debian 7.1 supplies HPLIP 3.12.6 and it does support your printer. As the version of HPLIP supplied with your operating system supports your printer, you may continue to use that version of HPLIP". No, do not believe. Download the last version (in my case, hplip-3.14.1.run), later called "XXX.run".
2. Ensure that your repositories contain no CD/DVD (the auto-installer will warn you), and do contain "main" and "contrib" (the auto-installer will not warn you); "non-free" is not needed. I did it via Synaptic Package manager (Settings->Repositories).
3. Run the XXX.run file by a command line "sh XXX.run" issued in the terminal window under GUI (not the console). Do not be root, and do not use "sudo". Rather, you need to know the root password.
4. You'll get an error message like this: "error: debian-7.4 version is not supported, so all dependencies may not be installed. However trying to install using debian-7.2 version packages".
Do not bother too much; in my case this was harmless. Answer "y".
5. The final error message "RuntimeWarning: PyOS_InputHook is not available for interactive use of PyGTK set_interactive(1)" is also harmless.
After the message
 "PRINTER SETUP. Please make sure your printer is connected and powered on at this time"
you should get a graphical panel
 "HP Device Manager - Setup. Device discovery".
Do the needed choice (in my case, USB), click "Next". You should get another graphical panel
 "HP Device Manager - Plug-in Installer. Driver Plug-in Installation".
Choose "Download", click "Next" and be patient; in my case it took 5 minutes, with no visible progress. Next graphical panel:
"Driver Plug-in License agreement". Browse it to the end, click "Agree"; observe message "Plug-in installation successful", click "OK".
The last graphical panel: "HP Device Manager - Setup. Setup Device". Mark "Send test page", click "add printer" and hope for the best.

    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

  • Thinkpad Helix - Screen auto rotation does not work (Issue 3/3)

    Hi,
    I have installed a clean Windows 8.1 on the Helix and have several issues. Putting them into several threads so they can be answered independently.
    The first thing I did after installing the system (and critical Windows Updates) was running the Lenovo System Update tool and downloading everything.
    Screen rotation does not work. In “Device Manager” I can see “C5621 gw Mobile Broadband Geolocation Sensor” and “Hid Sensor Collection”. The HID one has an exclamation mark next to it. Are there some drivers I need to download to make this work. I did of course check if screen rotation is not locked – it is not (I did turn it on/off a couple of times, without any effect). Manual rotation (using display settings) works fine.
    Thank you in advance for any help,
    Łukasz

    Hi Lukasz,
    Try, in device manager, right click on HID Sensor Collection then uninstall. Reboot, and see if the driver is loaded properly, if not click on scan for hardware changes.

  • CS4 Design Standard Silent Install does not work

    I've concluded CS4 Design Standard silent install for Macs does not work correctly. I've got the program to install sucessfully with an Exit Code: 0 and the programs still do not work. The whole suite says the licensing has stopped working. I've tried the License Repair utility from Adobe, no go. It looks like the program does not fully install. I noticed within each application directory, it should have an Uninstall application when installed correctly. When this application isn't there, which occurs with silent installs, the whole suite doesn't work.
    Its funny how Adobe wont help me with "enterprise installations". I haven't tried the Creative Suite Deployment Toolkit but I've read other threads where that doesn't work either.
    If someone would like to prove me wrong about the silent installs for CS4, please do so. I've gotten CS3 to install perfectly, and the setup is very similar for both.

    Jimmy,
    As one of the volunteer Forum Hosts, I've requested appropriate help.
    You can also get help via the support portal: http://www.adobe.com/go/supportportal
    Or via the phone: 800-642-3623, Monday-Friday 6am-5pm (Pacific time). BTW, the enterprise number you post isnt a valid number for support.
    Your email address (from your account info) was used to log a CCRT to get Tier 2 to email you, given that you've already tried tier 1 with no solution.
    Please post back and let us know how this works out for you. Thanks!

  • Lion Install does not work, says "This disk is used for Time Machine backups"

    I'm having trouble installing Lion onto my macbook pro intel core 2 duo. 
    I am backing up my computer with an external drive using TimeMachine, but i've disconnected it.  Also i'm running SL 10.6.8  
    I have a windows 7 partition that was created with boot camp.
    I've tried to make sure everything is all ready for lion but when I go to install lion it says "This disk is used for Time Machine backups" and the hard drive is grayed out.
    Same problem as this guy: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3190321?start=0&tstart=0
    I'm hearing that a file called "Backups.backupdb" is on the top level of the hard drive, but I see no such file.  I've looked at the invisible files and I cant find it.
    I've also created a bootable flash copy of the lion install but that does not work It gives me the same message "This disk is used for time Machine backups".

    "Backups.backupdb" if the file in Time Machine.  As the discussion says, you have to find that file and trash it.  Try spotlight to locate it.  If that does not work, down load OmniDiskSweeper from the Internet (free) and go through an organized search to find "Backups.backupdb".  If that takes too long or is too tedious, then if you have everything backed up, erase the HDD and start from square one.

  • Equipmen dismantle, change plant, install does not work

    Hello experts,
    I have developed a function module which should execute the following steps:
    - dismantle an equipment from a functional location
    - change the plant of the equipment
    - install the equipment into a new functional location
    I therefor tried to use these three existing function modules:
    - Dismantle -> EQUIPMENT_DISMANTLE
    - Change Plant -> BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE
    - Install -> EQUIPMENT_INSTALL
    Now the problem occurs that the call of the BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE does not execute a commit so the changes are not directly written to the database and the following call of EQUIPMENT_INSTALL is not able to install the equipment into the new functional location.
    I tried to execute a BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after the BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE but still it does not work. In my dev system I can insert a "WAIT UP TO 1 SECONDS." call which work but this does not work in the testing env. Also this is a very bad approach.
    The curious thing is that everytime I debug my FM everything is working fine. So I bet there is a problem in the direct following call after the BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE and EQIPMENT_INSTALL.
    Here are the relevant calls:

    So, what I have done now is the following:
    IF bapiret2-type EQ 'S'.
        COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
    *   now check if changes are written to db
        DO.
          l_iwerk = 0.
          " get the latest item entry
          SELECT SINGLE iwerk FROM equz
            INTO l_iwerk
            WHERE equnr EQ p_ls_equi-equnr AND
                  datbi EQ '99991231'.
          IF l_iwerk EQ equitime-planplant.
            p_rc = 0.
            EXIT.                 " data written to db -> exit
          ELSE.
            WAIT UP TO 2 SECONDS. " wait and check in next loop
          ENDIF.
          IF sy-index EQ 10.
            p_rc = 1.             " set returncode to 1
            EXIT.                 " after 10 times -> exit
          ENDIF.
        ENDDO.
      ENDIF.
    This code checks if the respective entry in the db is already written and if not retry to read it with a delay of 2 seconds.
    Looks a little bit ugly but does the job.
    If anyone could get me to a "better" solution I would be happy to hear!

  • Notification center and auto-lock does not work. iPhone 5 iOS 7.

    Hey there!
    I have got an issue with my iphone 5 after installing iOS 7.
    AfterI switch on my phone everything works perfectly but after some time ( sometimes it is few hours, few minutes ) the following options stops working:
    1. Notification center -  I cannot slide it down, neither the one from the top or bottom. Nothing happens when I try to do that.
    2. Auto-lock screen stops working! It is eating my battery really badly.
    Everything comes back to normal after restart but then again... some things happen as I mentioned above. Please Apple fix this ASAP because it really is frustrating. Am I the only with who has this issue?
    I am looking forward to hearing from you.

    Same here. For me, all three happens. Notification Center stops working, control center stops working, and the auto lock stops working. What I noticed:
    1. When I hold the power and home button together to do a force restart, the time it takes for the above problem to occur is far less than if you do a normal power off and on....
    2. Im currently running iOS 7.0.4... And with every update, the time it takes for the problem to come up again is getting shorter. With iOS 7.0.0 it used to be like 3-4 days. 7.0.2 it came down to 24-36 hours... Now, with 7.0.4 it happens within a couple of hours.
    It really gets frustrating because even if you are in the lock screen, the display doesnt turn off unless you manually press the sleep button....
    The only things I haven't tried yet:
    - Reset all settings (Frustration after the iOS 7.0.4 update might force me to do this within the next week....)
    - Restore the phone (Mine's 64GB 4S... And I don't sync my phone quite often so this is quite a hectic process for me. I dont want to do this unless I really have to)
