DJ F4280 works with VirtualBox XP, but not Jaunty

Asked by marcdonovan

My hp used to work but now only works with VirtualBox XP client. I print a test page and it says printed, but it is still in the queue. My VirtualBox XP setup print everything just fine.

I went into HP Device manager, printer control/start printer, but no dice.

This was working before. My drive blew and I reinstalled Ubuntu and hplip latest.

$ hp-check -t

This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it

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).

Everything looks okay.

Run:

sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog

Then try and print and post the output in the syslog.

Thanks!

I had VirtualBox running and It had control of the printer. Doh!
