[Solved] Hp-setup cannot find my HP Photosmart Plus printer

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up my HP Photosmart Plus printer. I have an Arch desktop acting as the CUPS server, which I ssh into from my laptop. I've gone through the CUPS installation and linux - linux sharing instructions. When I try to set up the printer through the CUPS web interface, it easily detects and adds my printer. I can access it from my laptop and print stuff fine. However, it will only print out:
**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.
I discovered that the printer should instead be set up using hp-setup. Running hp-check -t gives this.
Running hp-check --fix prompts to reinstall the printer through hp-setup, and so it removes the printer from CUPS and starts hp-setup -i.
When I select "net" for the connection type (my printer is wireless), it can't find my printer, even though the standard CUPS interface had no problem with this.

Visio setup cannot find Visio.en-us\VisioLR.cab

When I attempt to install Visio 32bit on a laptop running 32bit Windows 7 I get the following error message when installation begins copying files.
"Setup cannot find Visio.en-us\VisioLR.cab. Browse to a valid installation source, and then click ok."
I am attempting to install from the CD. When I try to browse to the VisioLR.cab file on the CD, during the installation the file does not show up.
Any help I can get is appreciated.

It's on both of my images (x86 and x64). Since that directory is for the US english version, what language is the disk for and where did you get it? The download version from MS is an EXE and not a disk image.

AIO app on iPAD not finding my HP Photosmart C4750 printer

The AIO app on my iPad can't find my HP Photosmart C4750 printer. However, the HP eprint app on my same iPad does find the printer. Printer is turned on, connected to the network. My HP laptop and my HP eprint app on my iPad both find the printer. Only my AIO app on my iPad is blind to the printer.

Hello world-peace,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I was able to find out why the C4750 will not listed in the All-in-One Remote app, but is in the ePrint app. The printer just isn't supported in the app.
You will have to keep using the ePrint app for any printing done with the iPad and C4750.
Wish I better news, or a workaround for you.

PageComposer Error - Cannot find the module necessary for printing C5051

Hi
Having some problems trying to setup a Windows 2008 R2 print server with shared Canon iR C5051 printer
I've created the printer, installed the 64 bit driver Canon iR-ADV C5045/5051 PCL6 v 20.90 and works fine for 64 bit Windows 7 clients, installed the 32 bit driver by selecting printer properties, sharing tab, additional drivers and selecting x86 and pointing to the 32 bit PCL driver. Driver installs fine on the print server without any errors.
Goto 32 bit client, add printer, select the shared printer from the printserver, printer installs Ok. When the user however tries to print, get the error:-
Canon PageComposer
Cannot find the module necessary for printing
Re-install the printer driver
I've done this countless times, any idea's on how to fix ?
Thanks

Where is the code you posted? Running in a separate project, I assume? Does that project have a dependency on the project containing the app module specified?
And just to check (although by default, JDev should do this for you)--the app module project has been compiled since adding the configuration, right? You need to check to make sure the config exists not only under Project/src, but under Project/classes.
Edited by: Avrom Roy-Faderman on Oct 6, 2008 2:02 PM
Oh, and BTW--I assume this is not a typical ADF application, right? In a standard ADF application, you would very rarely need to instantiate an application module in code like this; you could just let the data binding facility do it for you. The technique like the one you're using is most appropriate for purely programmatic, no-UI cases. (e.g., once I tried to implement an SMTP server backed by business components. That was an appropriate case for ditching databindings and doing the sort of thing you're doing, because it had no view layer (because it had no UI to render).

How to set photosmart plus printer to print automatic printables only in black

Hi im trying to see if there is a way to set my Photosmart plus printer to print my app printables only in black ink

I am going to assume here actually that this may not be a possible task. I know it seems it would conserve ink but even most all black-only pages are made of composite black which is derived by a combination of all the colors to give it a sharper image or it will appear dull.
Plus, the option for black only is found in the print driver when printing directly from a PC. The printer itself does not seem to have that option in the device menu/tools. Some models do have ink-saving options in their eco-mode settings, but (from memory anyway) I do not think this is one of those models.
If there truly is a setting for it, then it will be found in the printer's web page. Open a web-browser and type in the printer's IP address (available on the network configuration page "IPv4") and explore the settings in here. I have my doubts but it is always worth a try to at least point you in the right direction.
The manufacturer of the app usually sets the perimeters for these functions so if there was such an option you would find that on the app's page at the hpconnected/eprint website. A lot of apps provide a section for suggestions, maybe submit an idea and see if they offer a solution.
Good luck! Let me know what you come up with.

Is there any way to print a photo from my iphone on plain paper on my photosmart plus printer?

Whenever I try to use Airprint to print a photo from my iPhone to my Photosmart Plus printer, it tries to print it on photo paper from the photo paper tray.
I want it to print on the plain paper in the regular tray.
I read online where this is possible with the iPrint app - but when I went to the App Store, there is no iPrint App. I found a sticky post here saying that it has been removed from the App Store in anticipation of a new ePrint Home & Business version that won't be available everywhere until September.
So, in the meantime, is there anyway to change the location of where the photos from the iPhone print?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

HI
Most likely their is not, as printing pictures is standard set to photopaper as you most likely need good quality. Pictures on normal paper are not considered good quaity and thus not set as standard.

Setup cannot find the Geforce4 4200 device

Hello,
I've just bought a Geforce4 4200 128MB MSI card which replaced my old voodoo3 3000 card.
The BIOS seem to be able to communicate with the card as the card name shows when I turn on the computer.
The problem is when I try to run the CD's setup program , it says "cannot find the device in your system".
When I tried to view PCI information in linux , it printed out the following:
"bus 1 , device 0 , function 0
VGA compatible controller: PCI device 10de:0254 (nVidia corporation) (rev 163)
IRQ 11." , and some more infromation regarding memory addresses.
I'm running win95 on Celeron III 600MHz.
Is the above PCI information makes sense? Why cant the windows installation find my device?
Thank you for your responses,
Ishai

remove any device from system that has something to do with v. card...and all "unknown devices", reboot and try again. if not install drivers manualy...may be will work

[SOLVED] internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64

Hi,
After a reboot due to unrelated issues, virt-manager is not showing any of the VMs I had configured via qemu:
I checked connection properties, and everything else is showing up correctly, like the networks and storage. I tried to create new VMs out of existing storage and got this message:
Googling it suggested this happens when KVM module is not loaded. I modprobed kvm, kvm_intel and still got same result.

A generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good emulation speed by using dynamic translation.
Of which, qemu got updated just today. I will try rolling back to older version and post and update.

HI,
First of all thanks a lot for this post. I am facing the same issue since yest.
After reboot, my VMs gone missing and even virt-manager was not working (as shown in the screenshots which you have pasted in your post).
Now after trying out the workout which you had mentioned, I am able to get the virt-manager working.
But I am not sure if I can get back my missing VMs .
I am new to linux. Kindly guide me on how I can get back those VMs.

IPad2, Macbook air and iPhone 4S doesnt find/recognize HP photosmart 5510 printer ?

Why MacBook Air, iPad2 and iPhone 4S doesn't find / recognize anymore HP photosmart 5510 printer ?

I would suggest starting with your MacBook Air.
The Photosmart 5510 is listed as supported by Apple. So I suggest setting it up under your MacBook Air as described in this Mac Print 101 article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
Then hopefully your iOS devices will see it on AirPrint.

Hp photosmart plus printer will not copy or print in black ink

HP Photo Smart Plus will not print black. I can get other colors to print. I have used print Doctor to diagnose and
could not find a problem. I did get printer to print black and all colors on test page. When printing I do not get a error message other than a red x. I have also tried a different ink cartidge with no results.

Hi Dee54321,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to print in black ink on your HP Photosmart Plus B210a.
I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. I highly recommend you call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl

My Photosmart Plus printer seems to lose connectivity when in sleep mode, how can I fix this?

My new photosmart plus appears to loose it's connection when it goes to sleep. At least the printers status page online says it's not connected, even though it is visible in my router and the blue light next to the antenna of the printer is on. It also appears to be connected when I poke around in the printer's settings, but if I want to print something from an app or via e-mail I have to run the wireless wizard again, select my netgear and enter the password. Once connected I get a screen where I supposedly can skip printing a report, but that does not work either, it prints no matter what I select, waste of paper and ink.
I searched around but found no solution that would work for me.
Tech info:
wireless conection to my cable modem with Netgear router
Macbook pro and an older HP laptop are in use.
Security is WPA2-PSK [AES]
I like the machine a lot, but this is rather anoying, what can I do to keep the connection when the printer sleeps?
(edited to add security info)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Does the printer not wake from sleep for both the Mac and PC?
You may want to try setting a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. Enter the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

I have searched the phone for printer settings and found none.
Floyd

see if your printer is compatible http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
if it is troubleshooting http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/airprint/
if it isn't then you would need a 3rd party app, and search the app store.

[SOLVED] GCC multilib: cannot find shared library

Hi,
I'm trying to compile a systemc program to a 32-bit executable on arch x86_64. I'm using GCC multilib. Program compiles fine, but I get the following error when trying to run.
/home/[myusername]/workspace/systemc_test/Debug/systemc_test: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemc-2.3.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Compiler:

What am I doing wrong? For the record, this works fine on Ubuntu (64-bit with multilib) using the same version of the systemc library, compiled and installed in exactly the same manner.
Thanks!

You're correct -- doesn't find that path.
ldd systemc_test

libsystemc-2.3.1.so => not found

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf77ad000)
Adding /usr/local/systemc/lib-linux to LD_LIBRARY_PATH solves the problem. I used a script under /etc/profile.d/ to set this at session start, so I now consider this solved. Out of curiousity, is it possible to avoid having to do this?
