Problem on HP Laserjet M1132 MFP Drivers on Linux Mint 19

Asked by paulo

Hi all,

I have just installed the latest hplip drivers for my Laserjet M1132 MFP but can't print a single page. The job starts (HPLIP Device Status) and the printer is activated. But then a error message appears with the following:

"The printer's state message is: filter failed"

The printer troubleshooting window follows with:

"No system journals entries were found. This may be because you are not an administrator. To fetch journal entries please run this command"

su -c 'journalctl -u cups.service --since="None" --until="2018-09-25 21:24:50"' > troubleshoot-logs.txt

However my sudo password doesn't authenticate. An elevated prompt also doesn't help, returning the following message:

"Failed to parse timestamp: None"

Any tips on how to use this printer on Linux? Thanks!

Hi,
Linux Mint 19 support has been added in the 3.18.9 release which has been released on 26th September. Can you download this latest version from the hplip portal (https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip) and let us know if you still see any issues in the installation and printer setup?

Thanks,
Srinivas Teja

Hi srinivas,

Thanks. I just added the new HPLIP 3.18.9 release. Facing exactly the same issue. Instalation is complete, the printer is active, the job is sent (lights flashing on display), but can't print a single page. Always with the same error message:

>>> Printer error <<<

Pinter troubleshooter = the printer is ready to print

and

"no system journal entries were found. This may be because you are not an administrator. To fetch journal entries please run..."

su -c 'journalctl -u cups.service --since="None" --until="2018-10-01 13:10:49"' > troubleshoot-logs.txt

whener I run this command I get the following message:
Failed to parse timestamp: None

Perhaps this specific printer is not compatible with Mint?

Thanks!

Problem solved using HPLIP 3.17.10 and:

$ hp-setup -i

At some point it was mentioned that I was not a sudoer. Then I added my login credentials and the test page went on :)
