HPLIP

I have to install plugin each time i reboot in order to make printer work

Asked by Utku Helvacı

reopened

i am using clear linux

i have to run this command:

sudo su -c 'export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages; hp-plugin -i --plugin=/home/utku/Programlar/hplip/hplip-3.17.11-plugin.run'

in order to make printer work after reboot

My distribution does not have package manager but i have all the dependencies for making hplip work without fax and scanner support, i have an other device for scanning and snae binaries installed to /usr/local/lib, cups was installed by default and its located in /usr/bin, i had to enable cups service at first with these commands:

systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.service

then installed foo2zjs drivers with downloading this archive:
http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz

then i installed with these commands:

make
./getweb 1020
sudo make install
sudo make install-hotplug

then i opened http://localhost:631 at firefox, cups was running and i was in able to go http://localhost:631/admin with entering my username and password
my usb printer wasn't getting detected even after reboot, so i downloaded https://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/3.17.11/hplip-3.17.11.run/download?use_mirror=nchc
and runned in /home/utku/Programlar/hplip directory, after the extraction complete i go to /home/utku/Programlar/hplip/hplip-3.17.11 directory because direct installation wasn't supported for my distribution.
in directory i have runned:

./configure --disable-network-build --disable-scan-build
make
sudo make install

after installation i was in able to see my printer at http://localhost:631/admin/ (find new printer) as:
hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1020?serial=JL3DDV1
i have selected foo2zjs driver, when i clicked "print test page" pc said "processing" then after 10 seconds "printing" but my printer wasn't printing anything and there was no sign of printing (like lights or any sound)

i have tried to run hp-toolbox but it was saying "error: Unable to load DBus libraries. Please check your installation and try again."
but i was installed pyqt4 and gobject 3.x and 2.2x

any way i tried to run hp-pugins and it worked, also after installing plugin my printer worked too , but i couldn't find a way to make it persistent after reboot.

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]
