HPLIP

warning led blinking when I have to print a sheet

Asked by Dumoulin Gerard

Before describing the problem I have, my OS is Linux Mandriva 2008.0

A few day ago I downloaded HPLIP version 2.8.5 on my computer DELL Inspiron 1525. Then I launched automatic configuration on it. It was successful.

Then I selected HP 2015 like printer by default.

Explanation about the trouble: When I send a sheet for printing, the warning led blinks (triangle) and nothing go out from the HP printer. What is the trouble like.

Many thanks for your help.

I think there is something wrong with your HPLIP install.

Try uninstalling HPLIP, uninstall any preinstalled version and run

su -c "rm -rf /usr/share/hplip"

Then try reinstalling hplip..

Hello,

Many thanks for helping me and the printer HP laserjet serie P2015. Today it works, however I think there is a mistake when running hplip-2.8.5.

If you make su -c "rm -rf /usr/share/hplip", it means that hplip directory will be removed. Then if you run hplip-2.8.5, it means that hplip directory will be created and all sub directories and files copied under hplip too.

In fact I used mv command in order to move hplip-2.8.5 directory created on the desktop. If you have time could you please to answer me if it was right or false about what I did.

Best regards
