<Solved. Setting up an HP Laserjet P1005
« on: May 26, 2011, 02:11:13 PM »
 ???
My HP Laserjet 4P final gave out and the shop has provided me with a HP Laserjet P1005.  I deleted the old printer and attempted to install the P1005 - first with the HPLIP driver and when that didn't work removed (through CUPS) and tried to reinstall indicating USB.  When I attempt to print, there is no action from the printer and when I check in CUPS I see the following message "If you have more than one HP LaserJet P1005 printer connected to this machine, please unload (and blacklist) the "usblp" kernel module as otherwise CUPS will not be able to distinguish your printers."  From the forum I noticed that to do the blacklist, that it was available to do the blacklist by installing from SYNAPTIC.  Installed the module, rebooted the machine, and I still get the same message above when I try to print.  Not sure how to proceed with getting the printer setup.

Hello,

HP P1005 is a so called "host based printer", it require software to perform the page rendering, definitely you need hplip installed.
About usblp module, as far as you only have one usb printer it's not a problem to use the usblp module.

Then reinstall the hplip package, reconfigure the printer, try the test page. If something go wrong check the log files in /var/log/cups.

Thanks AS - removed the blacklist, removed the printer and rebooted the machine and started fresh.  CUPS sees the printer has it was found when adding the printer but when I tried to print the test page, it said it was processing and then after a few seconds, the job disappeared from the queue but no physical output.

Should they provide any clue, here is a lpstat, error_log and printers.conf

LPSTAT
[socrates@LP2 ~]$ lpstat -v

device for HP_LaserJet_P1005: hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_P1005?serial=BB03ZGG

The 2nd line is the printer as defined under WinXP which by the way is working.

Some tips for dealing with the P1005:
1. Any time you turn the printer off and back on, you need to re-firmware the printer.  Supposedly intall-hotplug should do it, but I find that it doesn't always. This command will force it:
Code: [Select]
# cat /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1005.dl > /dev/usb/lp0

2. If you run out of paper, don't cycle the power, just lift the housing for the toner and then close it again.  That will reset the status without having to deal with the point above.

3. Periodically, updates to CUPS will break the print driver and you will have to recompile it.  When this happens, sometimes usblp will need to be loaded to work, and sometimes, it will need to be blacklisted.  You just never know.
