HPLIP

I use Ubuntu 11.10 can I still download hplip 3.11.12.run?

Asked by Aaron Remley

When selecting the operating system version it does not show Ubuntu 11.10, would version 11.04 work with hplip 3.11.12.run using 11.10?

Hi Aaron,

Please go ahead and install the latest HPLIP 3.11.12. It works on both Ubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 11.04.

Thanks and Regards,

I installed hplip 3.11.12 according to the instructions given and it installed just fine. I then ran hp-setup and it configured for the HP Deskjet 300 Series, but did not have a choice for F380. It printed one page, but will not print any more. It sends the page to the printer, but does not print it. Can you please help?

Best Regards.

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Can you please check if the Print queue is stopped.

1. Launch "hp-toolbox" from the terminal.
2. Go to "Printer Control" tab
3. Click on the "Start Printer" if stopped.
4. Click on "Accept Jobs" if available.

Then try printing again. Please let us know if the problem still persits and post the complete output of "hp-check -t" here.

Thanks for using HPLIP.

Thanks and Regards,
Srikanth Lokare

Terminal: hp-toolbox gave message as: No Installed HP Devices Found.

Brought up the Print Manager and selected Printer Control, and noticed the printer was not Default Printer and when trying to print a Test Page it gave a message "CUPS must be at the back end ....." so I clicked on the CUPS button at the bottom and it went through and then printed the Test Page just fine. I then clicked on Default Printer button and it now prints like a champion.

Thank you very much for your expert help.
