Hi,

Can you provide us the output of 'lsusb -d 03f0:2b17 -v'

Thanks,
Goutam

Thank you Goutam. Now its present status is showing as 'idle' . Whenever I print its assigning the job to printer and after
some while giving message as job completed. But no print output.

lsusb -d 03f0:2b17 -v out is :

HI Goutam,

I forgot to tell you that..after plugin downloaded and installed (as you suggested) the printer was
detected and test print, and some prints also came nicely. But when I have restarted the system
then after the printer's status went into 'idle'

Please guide me to overcome this problem. I think almost more than 15 times i have installed hplip...

Thank you.

Try deleting the print queue using 'hp-setup -r' command and reconfigure the print queue using 'hp-setup'

I have done this n number of times...but in vein.... OK, once more I will try and give
you the feedback.

Thank you.

This is the message I have got. Now the system is not finding the device.

Hi Goutam,

Some progress in my printer behaviour:

Now present status of my printer is when not in use 'idle', once a job assigned
'Started a print job' , then after some time WITHOUT giving any print (output) the status changes to
'print job has completed'

Please guide me what to do next??

Here I am giving one of the outputs of hp-check -t

========================================================

My printer is hp-laserjet 1020plus but I could not find a ppd file for 1020plus
instead I found hp-1020 ppd (it automatically suggested too while installation)

Is the problem because of wrong ppd file??

The total out put of hp-check -t is :

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]

can you run command sudo hp-logcapture and provide us the log files.

can you again give us the output of 'lsusb -d 03f0:2b17 -v' and also provide us the output of 'hp-levels -i -g' command output here

Hi,

Goutam. I am very much thankful to you in pursuing the problem. Today I have again
installed hplip(3.7).

I have opted for interactive mode when it asked to install pluggins (without restarting. Only re-plugin the printer)
but it abruptly came out giving error message that plugin cannot be installed with root permissions.

Then again I have installed the plugin (run file) separately.

Next I went for hp-doctor. To my surprise it could do the magic by successfully installing the printer.
I have taken few prints by
  >> logging out
 >> restarting the pc

This is some sort of progress when compared to my earlier attempts.

but..

when I switched off the printer and again switched on...from then onwards the printer again
giving message as ..job started .... print job completed... but without giving the printout.

I can see the print status on task bar as 'held'

HP Device manager is giving error as "Device communication error 5012"

Actually my printer is HP LaserJet 1020 Plus

This printer require firmware file to be flashed and somehow this is not happening when the printer is rebooted. Run this command 'sudo hp-firmware -y3 -s 001:002 -g' in terminal and provide me the output of 'lsusb -d 03f0:2b17 -v' again. It will of great help to confirm the cause of this problem.

########################################
When I was installing the plugins multiple times earlier
whenever it gave error, at some stage it shown firmware
updated. But after then I never saw this message...
This is just for your info. The printer is working fine in
newly launched windows 10 also.
