Officejet Pro 8000 Fedora 10 driver installation

Asked by Cahit Kitaplioglu

System: Lenovo W700 laptop; dual Core2 Duo T9600, 2.80 GHz; 4GB RAM
OS: Fedora 10 (Cambridge); Kernel: 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.PAE; GNOME 2.24.1

I am trying to install a driver for an HP Officejet Pro 8000 CB092A inkjet printer. Per the HPLIP info page, I determined that a pre-built installer would not work for Fedora 10. Therefore, I attempted to use the manual build/install procedure outlined on the HPLIP info page. The process was unsuccessful. I would appreciate any help as to what went wrong and how to fix it.

The install session went as follows:

1. Logged in as Administrator (not root)
2. Copied driver tarball hplip-3.11.5.tar.gz to /home/admin/Download
3. $cd Download
4. $tar xvfz hplip-3.11.5.tar.gz
        which created a new subdirectory hplip-3.11.5. So far proceeding along as described per the instructions.
5. $cd hplip-3.11.5
6. Run the configure script
    $ ./configure --with-hpppddir=/usr/share/cups/model/HP --prefix=/usr --enable-qt4 --enable-doc-build --disable-cups-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --disable-hpijs-install --disable-policykit --enable-cups-drv-install --enable-hpcups-install --enable-network-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-scan-build --enable-fax-build
      This resulted in many "checking for ........" statements, with the final line being "configure: error: cannot find net/ucd-snmp support (or --disable-network-build)". Two new files were created: config.log and libtool(executable). There was no make file, so, of course, a make command was unsuccessful.

(Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to attach files to this message, so here's the entire session transcript"

Hi,

Please have these packages installed in your system prior running ./configuration for hplip.
su -c "yum -y -d 10 -e 1 install cups cups-devel dbus-devel gcc-c++ ghostscript openssl-devel libjpeg-devel net-snmp-devel glibc-headers libtool libusb-devel make python-imaging polkit polkit-gnome PyQt4 dbus-python pygobject2 python-devel notify-python python python-reportlab sane-backends sane-backends-devel sane-frontends xsane"

net-snmp-devel is not installed in your system which is causing configure: error: cannot find net/ucd-snmp support (or --disable-network-build).

Please install net-snmp-devel and run the configuration command.

Let us know on the same.

Thanks & Regards,
Goutam Kodu

Thank you. This worked.

I had neglected to carry out this step in the instructions. One thing puzzles me: I see installs/updates for gcc c++, python, etc (also fortran when configure runs); why are these present? What does fortran, for example, have to do with this driver? Just curious.

Anyway, thank you for your prompt help.
