some of the ppd are missing in 2.8.2 for linux for psc2175(2170 series)

Please run hp-check -t and post the output.

Hi
Ok just so you know with cups its fine BUT even thou some of us might know its under the psc2110 ppd file . Most people when looking at the list will wonder why they can't find the psc2150 70 75 79 etc . even thou cups if you use the admin/Find New Printer and it highlights the psc2110. Just better I think if they are still listed in the hpjs.drv.in

 //////// DJ9xxVIP but without 1200-dpi mode and without paper type sensor
etc.

But the main think is 1) hp-setup,hp-toolbos(running hp-setup) fail to find the ppd files ,Even when I hit ok and go and select the psc2110 ppd file . It errors out
error: PPD not file found. An appropriate PPD file could not be found. Please check your HPLIP install, use <i>Select Other...</i>, or download one from linuxprinting.org.

hit ok then Select other; pick the psc2110 ppd
error: Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again.
lpr: The printer or class was not found.
error: Print command failed with exit code 256!
Done.

2)
I have the cups-ddk installed .But as you will see wiht the log from hp-check -t . The drv isn't found. I greped and all I see is that installer/core_install.py isd hard coded to look in /usr/lib/ and not /usr/lib64 too. But then theat just to look for it. But I've been greping the src code to see where the hp-setup would look for the drv to patch or sed from my build script (slackware style but my 64bit ) .

  --enable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install \
--enable-foomatic-drv-install \ this to disable made no diffrence and the
--disable-pp-build this i doubt would effect it and want to leave it as a distro package option

other than that cups is fine but the tools are broken :( :D

What distro are you using?

Thanks!

A

It my cross compile of Slackware to 64bit .

from 2) (slackware style but my 64bit ) .

still left some of slackware in the build script :D slack-desc SLACKPACKAGE
I've made my script for 32bit slack from way back . to get the scanner to work because slack allway just had the printer only so I went to the page before the hplip came out . First time I used the hplip I had to leave it fro a bit because ti wa allways trying to move the printer head to far tot he left and right .
Anyways hope this helps . I know that the tool is just expecting the old style of the ppd to be there .or that what it seems like. surprised when I pick the 2110series it still doesn't like that ppd file . althou I think the hp-toolbox and hp-setup are supposed to be able to use the cups-ddk if its installed ?

Oh thats what i was trying to find out where its looking for the cups-ddk tool . I think after looking at the installer tool that its looking at hard coded usr/lib . but I did a grep and the only thing I see is that one in the installer/ dir . so is the hp-toolbox and the which uses hp-setup getting the info buy using the line in installer/core_install.py.

I tried changing return check_file('drv', "/usr/lib64/cups/driver") but that didn't work .

added to my build script :
 #hardcoded for /usr/lib and to install there too >:(
sed -i -e "s|/lib/|/lib64/|g" prnt/hpijs/foomatic-rip-hplip installer/core_install.py

when I run the hp-check -t . But still the hp-setup)hp-toolbox) isn't using it

So just can't figure out what else at compile is needing

stat("/usr/share/cups/model" loks to me like I said jp-setup is still looign for the psc2175 ppd file in there and the hp src doesn't have it now . I understand that the psc2110.50,70 ect series are all in the same class
But even with cups-ddk installed it not files that either. just looking threw the strace -f hp-check -t 2>&1 | tee logit file I made . To see if it says or even shows it trying to use cups-ddk ;D

With slackware you probably want to do a foomatic-ppd install, not the drv install. We haven't tested slackware however so there may be some steps that need to be completed that we are not aware.

You can look over this document

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/tech_docs/tarball_install.html

for how to do a foomatic-ppd only install. This will probably resolve the missing pdd question. With a drv install it is only supported on systems that, well support it. We haven't checked on slackware to know if it's supported, but I know that other users have installed hplip on slackware doing a foomatic only install and that (from what I know) as worked.

Hope this helps!

hi
sorry still haven't been able to get back to it.
But the older versions for ppd had hp-psc_2150{70,75,etc}_series-hpijs.ppd
but in the 2.8.2{4} it only has in the 2100 series hp-psc_2110_series-hpijs.ppd. So the hp-tool isn't working with it at all .
Even when I try the one that cups made HP_PSC_2170_Series_USB_MY3AHF81YM73_HPLIP.ppd.

I think witht hat one is becaus of the caps and the USB_MY3AHF81YM73 extra . but I tried renaming it and even tried using the one from hplip-2.7.10 , hp-psc_2170{75}_series-hpijs.ppd.. But the tool just doesn't want to work witht hem .

sorry hit the wrong button there:D

LC_ALL=en.UTF8 had to use this for the hp-tool to work

I tried that the other day nad it never worked . But I can't scroll back to see what I did wrong . I probably cp pasted LC_ALL=$LANG.UTF8 and missed changing the $LANG O.o
so its a bug in the hp-toolbox there

Thanks Aaron Albright, that solved my question.
