Thanks and Regards,

Hi !
I used that method on my Deskjet 2050, but it didn't work for my scanner on Ubuntu 10.10. With XSane or Simple Scan, it both says that the device is busy, but in fact, it is not : I can print. I installed Hplip 3.10.9 as it is said (compilation, etc...). Any idea ? Do I post a new ticket ?

Thanks,
Nils

Hi NLR!
I didn't use 10.10. But in 10.04 the problem was solved. Let's wait Srikanth..

Hi NLR,

Please run "hp-check -t" from the terminal and post the complete output here.

Thanks for using HPLIP

Thanks and Regards,
Srikanth Lokare

Hi ! Thanks for answers.
Here you can see the complete output : http://pastebin.com/PHXVMnYF

Thanks,
NLR

Hi NLR,

Please uninstall the hplip 3.10.9 and reinstall the same. Please follow the installation instruction available at
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html

Please let me know, if the problem still persists.

Thanks for using HPLIP.

Thanks and Regards,
Srikanth Lokare

Hi and thanks for answer.
How to uninstall hplip ? I have to run a
"sudo rm -rf /usr/share/hplip
sudo rm -rf /etc/hp
sudo rm -rf ~/.hplip"
in the terminal ?

NLR

Ok, I reinstalled Hplip with libsane-dev and some libdbus-*-dev librairies, and it worked well :) . Thank you for everything

NLR

Well it doesn't work for me in Xubuntu 10.4 I'm getting message : The queue Deskjet 2050 J510 is not enabled. The reason given is : ' /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed.
To enable it, select 'Enabled' checkbox in the 'Policies' tab for the printer in the printer administration tool. To start this tool, select System-Administration- Printing from the main menu.
However, Xubuntu doesn't have this option, at least I can't find it anywhere in the Applications.

Please, what should I do ? I'm getting quite desperate, previous HP printers did work, but this model...

Hi!
I've got the same problem with compatibility of my hp 2050 and Ubuntu 10.04. I followed all recomendations from this tread but it didn't help me. Here is the result of "hp-check -t" from the terminal: http://pastebin.com/22NJN85K.
What I am doing wrong?

Trouble trouble. I've a HP DeskJet 2050 j510 in nairobi kenya. my printer is directly connected to a Windows machine on my network. i have followed instructions as given on net to no success.. So my ubuntu 10.04 sees the device, offers me to choose from several devices or provide PPd file or to search for a printer driver. When i chose to select printer from database it offers no hp deskjet 2050 j510 option. at this point my frustrations bicome mountainous. what do i do. i need urgent help.

I had exactly the same problem but upgrading to latest Xubuntu (I suggest to copy the xubuntu to cd at least 700 MB or to a flash card and install it new) has fixed the problem  instantly , otherwise yuo'll be flooded by advises to get cups and so on but nobody will tell you how

Upgrade your OS to 11.10, this problem is solved in that distributive. I'm still regretting for 10.04, it was the best Ubuntu i've ever seen, but there is no other way to use HP DeskJet 2050
