Recompiled hplip for use with C5180 with new use flag: scanner.  Now
scanning works, printing does not.  Recompiled with new-hpcups use
flag.  Still not working.  Output from cups web interface:
"/usr/libexec/cups/backend/hp failed"

Any ideas?

Is it connected via network or usb? Which hplip version? Which cups version?

Hello Daniel

The all-in-one printer is connected via USB.  The following versions are
installed:

net-print/hplip-3.9.12-r1
net-print/cups-1.3.11-r1

Thanks

Try to blacklist & rmmod the usblp module. I had to do that for my HP
USB printer to work. Whenever usblp module was loaded, printing
failed... I don't know if it applies to your printer as well, but it's
something easy to try. :)

I do not own an all-in-one printer so I can not test, but if Paul's suggestions
do not work can you tell me the permissions of your device.

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:1712 Hewlett-Packard Printing Support
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

lsusb tells you to which bus the printer is attached. In my case it is Bus 001
and Device 002 so I have the following device /dev/bus/usb/001/002

ls -al /dev/bus/usb/001/002
crw-rw-r-- 1 root lp 189, 1 20. Apr 19:05 /dev/bus/usb/001/002

There should also be a /dev/usb/lp0

ls -al /dev/usb/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 20. Apr 19:05 /dev/usb/lp0

Do you have the same permissions or do they differ?

Paul,

I checked for lsusb and could not find it...therefore I checked my
kernel source, and found usb printer support, which I removed.  This has
not fixed the problem.

Please also provide the following output I already requested above and check if
the permissions are the same.

ls -al /dev/bus/usb/005/004

ls -al /dev/usb/lp0

Hm I am out of ideas now. You can try a newer version of hplip maybe
this solves your issue.
There is also a forum post [1] where a user had a similar problem and
solved it by adding the lp user to the scanner group. See the last
comment of the thread.

Re: [gentoo-user] hplip recompiled with scanner use flag now scanning works, printing does not.

Some success!

By changing the permissions by:

chmod a=rw /dev/bus/usb/005/005 I get printing (Scanning still works
also).  However simply adding the groups and rebooting does not. 
Therefore, I am still completely at a loss.  Not pragmatic to have to
set permissions on a moving target each boot.  Any ideas how to proceed
from here?

Solving a permission problem by giving the device world write permission seems
not like proper solution. Please try if this problem also occurs with
net-print/hplip-3.10.2-r4.

I have set up my HP printer with the cups interface before and it does 
not work as well as using the hp-setup command.  It either is slow to 
print or jobs just set in the que and never print at all.  I also always 
run hp-setup as root not a user.

May want to consider doing it this way and see if it helps.  It may, it 
may not.

You have to run hp-setup as root; nothing less will do.

Seems to me that hplip is a black art. I have an HP printer here which 
sometimes is entirely complaisant, other times its jobs just sit there 
until I find the right invocation, other times again nothing I do will 
coax it into action, short of killing the job and trying again.

Surely, printing can't be as hard as this in this new age?

Hello everyone who has replied so far,

I updated to net-print/hplip-3.10.2-r4 same fault occurs...ran hp-setup

You already opened a bug here which I try to fix :)

What are the contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/. I guess among the files there are
70-libsane.rules and 40-hplip.rules or 55-hpmud.rules. If this is the case
rename 40-hplip.rules or 55-hpmud.rules by changing the number to 71. Restart
udev, "killall udevd && /sbin/udevd --daemon" should be sufficient. Afterwards
try if printing and scanning works.

Daniel,

Both printing and scanning work.  File group for /dev/bus/usb/005/005 is
lp.  Why did the change to the names change the group for the file.  How
can this be incorporated into the hplip package?  Btw it was
hpmud-support.rules which I changed as well.

Thanks

Re: [gentoo-user] hplip recompiled with scanner use flag now scanning works, printing does not.

[ubiquitous1980]

why has moving /etc/udev/rules.d/40-hplip.rules to
/etc/udev/rules.d/71-hplip.rules and
/etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud_support.rules to
/etc/udev/rules.d/71-hpmud_support.rules changed the group from scanner
to lp for file: /dev/bus/usb/005/005 and allowed my printer to work?

Look at my previous post where I explained this.
Also there should be no need to move /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud_support.rules.

Can you please tell me which application are you using for scanning.

hp-scan included in the hplip package,
xane,
scanimage included in sane-backends or
xscanimage included in sane-frontends.

I would appreciate it if you could try is scanning fails with all of the above
applications if the rules files are not moved. Especially if it just fails with
the hp-scan program or also with the other applications not shipped by hplip.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [gentoo-user] hplip recompiled with scanner use flag now scanning works, printing does not.

[ubiquitous1980]

Hello Daniel

Contents of /etc/udev/rules.d:

40-hplip.rules                          70-persistent-cd.rules
56-hpmud_support.rules          70-persistent-net.rules
64-device-mapper.rules              77-nm-probe-modem-capabilities.rules
70-libgphoto2.rules                     90-hal.rules
70-libsane.rules                            91-usb_modeswitch.rules

What was asked for:

hp-scan  [ok]
xsane [ok]
scanimage [ok]
xscanimage [ok]

Although not asked for, and it is obvious: printing [failed]

I did not see your *explanation* of how the udev rules mv changes
things.  I only know *what* happens, not *why*.  Regardless, I
appreciate your help and seek to learn why the udev rules were
preventing me from printing.

Thanks

Re: [gentoo-user] hplip recompiled with scanner use flag now scanning works, printing does not.

[ubiquitous1980]

Daniel,

I have found the line which is at fault in xx-libsane.rules.  Problem
is, what we are doing is a work around:

# Hewlett-Packard Photosmart C5100 series
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5811", MODE="0664",
GROUP="lp", ENV$

I have changed the group to lp from scanner so that I could maintain the
file number.  Problem is, if we have MODE="0664", those in the scanner
group should be able to access the printer.  Do you think this suggests
a deeper bug?  I created a testfile in my home directory with stickybits
set to 0664.  I then set ownership to root:scanner.  Of course, I could
edit the file, as I am in the scanner group.  This makes me wonder why
the rules did not apply in /dev/bus/usb/005/005 when this file was set
to 0664 and group to scanner.  I know for sure that the group was
scanner, but I cannot be sure that the file was truly set to 0664.

For now I have the intra-config file workaround.  I will see if I can
mess with things a bit to get things working.

Thanks

Re: [gentoo-user] hplip recompiled with scanner use flag now scanning works, printing does not.

[ubiquitous1980]

Daniel,

After a bit of messing around I have the following:

In my home directory I can write to a 0664 file which is in the scanner
group
I can write to a file with the same permissions in /dev/bus/usb/005,
however it does not have the c prefix in the stickybits like the device
files do.
I am definitely in the scanner group
I am definitely in the lp group
I cannot print when /dev/bus/usb/005/005 is in the scanner group
I can print when /dev/bus/usb/005/005 is in the lp group.
I can print when /dev/bus/usb/005/005 is set to chmod a+rwx

Confounding I know...by me being in the scanner group, I would have
thought this would allow me to write to the device if its sticky bits
are set to 0664.  This is however not the case.  This makes me think
that any edit to /etc/udev/rules.d/xx-libsane.rules is simply a
workaround.  I am thinking the bug is in HPLIP.

Thanks
