Raspbian binary driver for mfp m127fn does not exist

Asked by Richard Simpson

AS of hplip 3.14.6, trying to download a proprietary driver for the laserjet pro mfp m127fn, for the raspbian OS (based on Debian Jessie 8.0) returns an error message: Raspbian is not found in AUTH_TYPES. Running a test print after the install fails.

I was able to successfully install a binary driver on my Ubuntu box, so I don't believe I'm doing anything wrong.

Do you plan to support the laserjet pro mfp m127fn with a driver for raspbian? Is it included in a later version of hplip?

Thanks,
Richard.

Hi,

Hplip plugin for Raspbian armv6 and armv7 are supported from hplip 3.15.4 version
You can download the latest hplip-3.15.7 source file from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/3.15.7/hplip-3.15.7.tar.gz/download?use_mirror=iweb

Follow the manual installation instructions provide for debian here http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/debian.html

Download the plugin files from here
https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-3.15.7-plugin.run
https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-3.15.7-plugin.run.asc

To install the plugin file you can run command 'sh hplip-3.15.7-plugin.run' in terminal or you can run command 'hp-plugin' in terminal and choose the second option to manually select the hplip-3.15.7-plugin.run file and install.

Run command 'hp-setup' to configure the print queue.

Thanks. Using your suggestion I was able to compile 3.15.7 and install the plugin, without obvious errors. However, I am getting a "filter failed" message when trying to do a test print. I spent some time troubleshooting, but again, nothing obvious to me in the error log. Since I'm using the unstable version of raspian, and apt-get did a couple substitutions when installing the dependencies, I believe that solving the problem in a timely manner is beyond my skill set. It will be much more expedient to switch to a different platform for my print server.

Regards,
Richard.

Can you try installing hplip-3.15.6. You can download the file from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/3.15.6/hplip-3.15.6.tar.gz/download?use_mirror=iweb

Can you confirm if you are able to print to the device using hplip-3.15.6 version ?

goutam-

hplip-3.15.6 does not print either. But instead of the Filter Failed error message, the print job just hangs.

can you delete the existing print queue for this printer using command 'hp-setup -r' and reconfigure the printer using command 'hp-setup' and try to print
