This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or
.run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an
already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both
compile- and run-time dependencies).

Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

Hi arvid,

After reboot, "/usr/share/hplip/prnt/plugins/" folder needs to contain "lj.so and lj-x86_64.so" libraries. (Cross check once.. )

$ ls -l /usr/share/hplip/prnt/plugins/*.so*

If libraries are not present, somehow these libraries are getting deleted.
If libraries are present still not printing, then check the size of libraries before reboot and after reboot.
If size is also same, paste here "/var/log/syslog" contents.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath

Thank You very much! Your instructions helped me. Now I don't need after reboot install newly the plugins for printing with hplip. In my computer there was no /var/log/syslog. I created it and copied lj.so and lj-x86_64.so from /usr/share/hplip/prnt/plugins to /var/log/syslog. Now its printing after reboot. I hope it will do it also tomorrow and so on.
Only i do not know how to check the size of libraries. Perhaps there was no need of it.
Thank you very much!
Arvid
