Upgrade Warnings (EN & DE) - [solved] HPLIP Tools and CUPS not responding after d-u

Post subject: [solved] HPLIP Tools and CUPS not responding after d-u
today I made a d-u with smxi and the hpijs packages were updated.
After rebooting the hplip-tool Icon was activated at the Taskpanel.
Klicking the Icon brought the message "no printers found".
No setup for my printers was successful. I am using a HP PSC 2410 (USB) and a HP Lserjet 2200 (Network/IP) the Printers are still printing well. Starting CUPS (in iceweasel) the mainpage is starting, but no choosen point (printers, spooler etc.) are working. There isn't opening a window to fill in the root password to set up some settings, too.

HPLIP-Tools is telling, that no PPD file can be found. The PPD-Files are stored in /usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP/.

what can I do ?

There was a version mismatch a few weeks ago; after the appropriate files were updated my P2015D printer wouldn't work - I reinstalled the printer but could only get it to work with the postscript (recommended) driver.

@hubi:

Maybe, this could be the failure.
Before I made the d-u yesterday, all worked fine. The hp-stuff was set on hold until yesterday.

Unfortunately running the command "yourbox:~# LANG=C.iso8859.1 hp-setup" in a terminal doesn't work. The message, I get is:

Have you tried adding a 'new' printer from localhost:631?

@drb

First, I noticed the new Icon in my Taskbar (xfce4), which was from the HP Tools.
So I clicked the Icon to look what it is for. I saw that this is a tool to manage my printers and while starting the tool, I got the message ""no printers found". I knew, that I had configured my printers (a HP PSC2410 plugged with USB and a HP Laserjet 2200 Networkprinter connected by IP-Adress) well (using CUPS in iceweasell, days before) and wondered, why they could not be found by the HP Tool. I choosed the dialog to configure (in this case to add them as "new", in my mind to "re-add") them and therewhile the message appeared "no PPD file found". I looked for the PPD Files and saw, the files are stored well in /usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP/. The priners itself were detected automaticly by the HP Tool, but when I choosed the detected Printer, the message appeared that the PPD file for the choosen printer was not found.

The Day before doing the d-u (with the smxi script in runlevel 3) the hp-stuff was notified in hold-status by the script. During the last d-u (see my post above) the message does not appear and the hp-stuff was updated. As I could see, CUPS was not updated by the script.

The next step I did, was trying to look at my (well known installed) printers in CUPS itself, by starting CUPS in iceweasel. CUPS started the mainpage (in German) but no click on any button inside CUPS was successful. It seemed that the browser would hang while loading the choosen site. At the moment there is no way to addd a printer or to look at the configured printers or their spoolers by using CUPS neither in iceweasel nor in konqueror, so I think the problem will caused on the collaboration between CUPS and the HPTools. Maybe there will be a way to downgrade the HP-Tools. It would be worth to try it. I think, the tools and CUPS will work together, again.

hubis Link above (to the bug report list) seems to describe that problem. At this time, I don't know the version of the installed HPlibTools with smxi. (When I am at home again, I will look for. Running the hp-setup command in a console is not successful, see the printout at my last post. So there is no way to get any errorcodes...

By the way: my printers are printing well with the default driver settings. What I have to do is, trying to change some settings at the printing dialog, for example, when I want to print a textfile or a photo. It would be interesting, if the settings can be changed inside the printing dialog without an errormessage.

If you know, please show me the way how to downgrade the HP Tools to the last version before doing the d-u.


Sorry for my mistakes in writing, I am a German.... But I hope you (and all others) can understand me....

I'm simlar to you in that initially the HP Tools said 'no printer' but I can then select the printer from the third tab and make adjustments; with the recent update HP tools finds the printer but I can't print using the hplip driver, I need to select the postscript driver. I don't get any 'no-ppd' error messages.

As for the error:

I think you need to use 'sux' in a X windows console to become root.

that's right, but typing "sux hp-setup" encoured only the message like "hp-settup unknown session id" (at this time, I am not at home, so I only can write it out of my mind....)
maiemi - May 22, 2008 - 05:29 AM
Post subject:
now I have to ask again:

is it possible to re-install (downgrade)the hp-stuff (hpliptools,hpijs)to the older version (before I did the d-u) ?

Meanwhile I have no printer to print and it is impossible to add one.
CUPS is hanging at iceweasel, if I choose a different point but "readme".... No way to get the spooler, setup or other cups sites in the browser.

Hi Malemi,

I'm a bit confused; you said earlier your printers were working well but you couldn't change some settings but the latest post suggest they are not working at all.

I'd try uninstalling cups and hplip and start again - piper has given the code to do this in a thread he answered yesterday re KDE printing. As I said, the hplip drivers don't work for me any more and I have to select the postscript option.

Hi drb,

I am sorry, that was not my intention.
I think, I was fooled, because I could print with my network printer.
Meanwhile I tried to install cups 1.4 (loaded from the cups website) , but there were problems with the libraries and the cups server did not start, so I had to re-install cups 1.3.7 (there were a message at boot, about problems with shared libraries, I do not know the correct text anymore)

The HPLIP Tools are working itself but not together with cups 1.3.7. (not at my computer), so I can start the tools, but not configure or add any printer. I have re-installed the HP-Tools, hplip and hpijs and cups, but there are only the newest versions available, when I am using the "apt-get" command.

I know (well), that the hptools were working together with cups before I did the last d-u, so I wish to install the older version of hplip-tools and hpijs, but I do not know, how to manage this.

To uninstall and install something is possible for me, to delete the packages on my harddisk, too, but I do not know the hint, how to install an older version of a package (or how to get the older package, to install it, would be the same way, as to install any other package, I think....)

I'd try :

apt-get remove --purge cupsys hplip hpijs hpijs-data hplip-data hplip-gui hplip-doc cupsys-driver-gutenprint
apt-get install cupsys cupsys-driver-gutenprint testing/hplip testing/hpijs testing/hpijs-data testing/hplip-data testing/hplip-gui testing/hplip-doc

then configure printer in webbrowser : http://localhost:631/

Hi drb,

thank you very much for showing that way to re-install.
I am sorry to tell, that it doesn't work.
When I type the apt-get install line, I get the message, that the "testing" package can't be found.
Typink the same line without "testing", works and is installing the packages.
But the issues are the same. CUPS is starting and there is no way to choose any but the "help" site. The other sites are "hanging".

I think it will be the best way to get the older packages from hplip and hpijs and install them, then all will work well again.
Can you tell me, where I can get the older packages ?

edit:
OK, I know, why that way did not work. I had to fill in the testing sources into the sources.list....

Hi piper,

I'm sorry, until now it isn't solved.

When I wanted to install cups, I got a message that the package cupsys could not be found.
Now I installed cups in version 1.3.7 again and the last, I have to do, is to find the HP packages
(hplip 2.7.10-5 and hpijs 2.7.10+2.7.10-5) . These were the versions before the last d-u I did and they were working well with the installed cups version.

I hope, you will give me a little more time, there are still some things I have to learn about linux, especially sidux.
The last 20 years I had to work with a MS operating system Wink

This is a good example(for me) to learn something about the file structure and where the different functions are stored.

Meanwhile I 've learned , what would better be backed up before doing a d-u and before to do a "apt-get" with "--purge". Sometimes you'll need the older stuff again...

edit:

dear all,

shame on me, right now I found the chapter about apt / hold / downgrade at the sidux manual. With this guide I should be able to solve the problem.
When I am at home again.
Excuse me, stealing your time....

@piper
now I know, what to to and maybe I need some hints, but this will be possible at the IRC. When it is done, I will set the thread to "solved".

Try those steps, maybe your problem can be solved.

1. enable/uncomment testing sources in /etc/apt/sources.list
(edit as root and delete the #) so that it reads
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
2. apt-get remove --purge cupsys hplip hpijs hpijs-data hplip-data hplip-gui hplip-doc cupsys-driver-gutenprint
3. apt-get update
4. apt-get install cupsys cupsys-driver-gutenprint testing/hplip testing/hpijs testing/hpijs-data testing/hplip-data testing/hplip-gui testing/hplip-doc
(you get a message that the testing-packages will be downgraded)
5. replace the # in sources.list before the testing line (= undo step 1.)

maeimi
Ich konnte es selber nicht testen, weil ich keinen HP Drucker habe.
Kannst du HP nach der obigen Installation in KDE kontrollieren anstatt in XFCE4?
Oder, wenn in XFCE - hast Du in XFCE die in settings->sessions and startup->advanced die "launch KDE services on startup" auf an?
maiemi - May 23, 2008 - 07:19 AM
Post subject: HPLIP Tools and CUPS
@Hi HarzG

thank you for answering.
Right now, I can't configure the printers neither in xfce4 nor in KDE.
This evening, I will do your posted steps above (and as I wrote, I am glad that I have found the "apt - chapter" in the sidux manual Wink)
I will run the code in init 3.

After this is done, I change in runlevel 5 (or reboot into runlevel 5) and try to add and configure my (lost) printers again.

Further I think, it is no matter, using KDE or xfce4, the issue is that cups (in iceweasel / konqueror) seems to hang after choosing a site to set up or add a printer or to control the spooler. Only the manual can be opened successful.

If I am right, set on the kde-services in xfce4 will be for a faster start of kde programs. The same setting can be done for gnome services (if needed). If the services are off, the KDE programs will start a little slower, that's all in my mind. But I have set the KDE services even on.

As soon as I can, I will write my efforts results. (But therefore I have to wait until after work.)

That is not a problem at all Wink I came from that same situation, and I still do windows support on the side.

so, now I 've set up my machine again and complete.
(New installation and a d-u after that)
The printers are working very well and all is working again.
I don't know, how I blowed up my sidux and I needed round about 2 hours to set up my machine, again, but I think, it would take more than 2 hours to find the bug inside my system....

Thank you all for helping and be sure:
I've learned a lot at this time Wink

Hi HarzG

d-u now works again with hplip and cups sid. I have removed hplip and cups according to your lines and I have reinstalled cups (sid), now my HP LJ 1010 works fine.
maiemi - Jun 07, 2008 - 05:44 PM
Post subject:
I am sorry to reopen the thread, but after the last d-u where the hplip-stuff was changed, the same issue is happened.
I reinstalled cups and hplip and the gutenprint drivers (with apt-get --reinstall):
The result is: with my network printer (connected directly to my router with network cable) printing is possible, but
with my USB printer (HP PSC2410) printing is not possible. (before running the d-u printing was possible)

Opening cups in iceweasel, there is no way to change any settings and no way to choose another site than the manual/help site. choosing another site, seems that the browser is hanging up while trying loading the selected site.

I apologize for any inconvenience, that I won't set up my machine again. It was the last step, when I had that issue the last time...

so what can I do ?

edit:
I can't believe it.
Starting the HP Toolbox, I can configure the printers, but not in CUPS.

edit and close:
OK, I am not able to configure my Printers with CUPS, but with the HP Toolbox and now they are working well....Don't know, what happened.... It's closed now....

I had a similar problem since last d-u some days ago, even http://localhost:631/ didnt come up.
just starting /usr/sbin/cupsd (as root) solved it for me. sounds stupid, but one shouldnt forget to try that out if printers arent responding anymore.
somehow cups was just no longer started automatically at bootup.

Has probably nothing to do whit this problem but I also have problems to get my scanner working after a reboot lately , it seems like a IRQ problem or something I think.

Possibly try "noapic" as a cheatcode and then as root run rcconf and make sure cups is checked

cups is checked in rcconf, but how do I boot with cheatcode noapic on a HDinstall?

temporary solution, (for testing if it works)
1) write desired cheatcode ( noapic ) at the grub menu screen. (it will be added to the boot option line)

or, permanent solution
2) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file as root these lines for menu is near the end

still , cups not coming up after reboot. (only /usr/sbin/cupsd brings it up)

found another cups related message in /var/log/messages :

Jul 13 12:23:21 jacksbox1 cupsd[3726]: *** WARNING *** The program 'cupsd' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.
Jul 13 12:23:21 jacksbox1 cupsd[3726]: *** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
Jul 13 12:23:21 jacksbox1 cupsd[3726]: *** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=cupsd>

looked at site and googled for solution but can only remove message not cause.

Smxi du-ed yesterday. Booted today and printer wouldn't print and
merely ejected a blank page.

Purged the whole cups system but no improvement.

During the re-installation I noted that cupsys-driver-gutenprint was
missing or obsolete (true as cupsys is now just cups). It suggested
using cups-driver-gutenprint.
Did that but still no improvement.

Eventually discovered that only the simplified gutenprint driver would produce a printed page.

Hi

since the OP has shown "solved" I would like to add one more regarding locale affecting hplip toolbox.....I never had an issue with cups only with hp-setup not working....missing a ppd file and then checking /var/log/cups/error.log to discover it was my locale error.

I made an error in my locale selection and the solution is posted here.
