HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dn LaserJet not recognized in hp-setup

Asked by stoned24-7

Dear Sir or Madam,

currently I want to setup an MFP M225dn printer in an Ubuntu 14.04 environment.

uname -a
3.16.0-45-generic #60~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:23 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The printer is available on the Network(usb Connection is not possible)

The setup aborts with the Error:
error: Invalid device URI:
error: No device selected/specified or that supports this functionality

I already installed some other Devices via Command Line via
hp-setup -i <IPADDRESS>
without Problems.

Today i tried to setup the device via CUPS Homepage.
HP_LaserJet_Pro_MFP_M225dn?ip=<IPADDRESS>
but there is also an error thrown
"Filter failed"

Thanks in advance

stefan

Can you try running command 'hp-setup -g <IP>' in terminal where <IP>, is the IP address of the printer. For example, 192.168.2.1 is the IP address of the printer then run command 'hp-setup -g 192.168.2.1' and provide its ouput here.

are you able to ping to the device ?

Revision history for this message
stoned24-7 (stefan-der) said : 		#6

Yes, it is possible to ping the Printer, and an SNMP Walk returns

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public <IPofPrinter>

Can you type out the exact command here that you are using to configure the printer along with the printer IP address.

Can you provide the output of 'hp-probe -bnet -g'

Revision history for this message
stoned24-7 (stefan-der) said : 		#10

Dear goutam,

the output returns nothing, but that might be a Problem because the Printer is not on the same subnet.
The printing device is in an a class Network (10.X.X.X) the PC is on a c Class Network (192.X.X.X)

I tried the command also with slp or mdns (all Services are running on the printer)

both have to be on the same subnet to be able to discover.

stoned24-7 (stefan-der) said : 		#12

but why is it working for all other devices without discovery (HP LaserJet 3390, HP LaserJet M1522nf_MFP, HP)
both of those models are also not discovered by the setup probe.

Even if the device, is in the same subnet I got the errors i wrote down above.
Same result after disabling the Firewall on the Ubuntu Server.
