Printer recognized but not printing. CUPS

  • 772

I'm using a HP 1000 J110 connected to a server which I access via ssh. I use lsusb and it appears there. Then, I Pasted the PPD on the /etc/cups/ppd/ folder... Is the ppd my pc uses to print when attached directly to the PC.

I Use lpstat -p

and it shows the printer there :

printer DESKJET-1000-J110 is idle.  enabled since Fri 22 Mar 2013 08:05:33 PM UTC

Then i use:

lp -d DESKJET-1000-J110 filetoprint.txt

request id is DESKJET-1000-J110-111 (1 file(s))

and it appears that the file is sent to print, and actually appear as completed, but it just doesn't print anything.

Also tryed with HPLip And when trying to run hp-setup -i it says:

error: No device selected/specified or that supports this functionality.

I checked and this printer IS supported by hplip.

What am I missing? ..

  1. Running hp-check -t will give you more information about the status of the printer -- specifically, the DISCOVERED USB DEVICES and INSTALLED CUPS PRINTER QUEUES.

    Have you verified to ensure that cups is running? 

    % /sbin/service cups status
cupsd (pid  1453) is running...

    How are you verifying that the file has been sent and appear[s] as completed?

    The solution was not that complicated. I used the following code: (Erased before the existing printers using lpadmin -x PrinterName)

    To view my URI:

    lpinfo -v

    I got this:

    :~# lpinfo -v
network http
network socket
direct scsi
network lpd
network ipp
serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
direct usb://HP/Deskjet%201000%20J110%20series?serial=CN19S21RWB05D2
network beh

    The direct usb part is the URI.

    I had already a ppd file. So I copied it to /etc/cups/ppd/

    Then I added the printer using: 

    :~# lpadmin -p Deskjet-1000-J110-series -E -v usb://HP/Deskjet%201000%20J110%20series?serial=CN19S21RWB05D2 -m /etc/cups/ppd/Deskjet-1000-J110-series.ppd

    I got this error: lpadmin: Unable to copy PPD file!

    As it was already specified (the ppd file) .. I ran a test

    lp -d Deskjet-1000-J110-series fileToPrint

    And.. printed...
