I have been having printing problems on and off for a while and usually fiddle with it and get things to work (temporarily apparently). I try restarting CUPS, unplugging and replugging the USB cable, etc. System is F12 x86_64 connected to a HP Photosmart C5580 (Printer/scanner/copier). Scanning has always worked flawlessly. I booted my XP virtual machine and could not find any errors in the toolbox but the HP drivers for linux have said the ink is low ever since I changed out the cartridges (w/ new HP cartridges.) It does not say which one is apparently low. I've also gotten messages that the backend failed, last time that happened replugging the USB cable seemed to fix it. I don't think it's a cable problem since the scanner always works. I know at one point there was a problem with the printer being detected correctly on boot up but that was fixed some time ago. Here is some output from /var/log/messages: Apr 4 21:57:15 hobbes Photosmart-C5500-series: prnt/hpijs/hpcups.cpp 156: unable to set Quality=0, MediaType=5, ColorMode=2, err=2 Apr 4 21:57:15 hobbes Photosmart-C5500-series: prnt/hpijs/hpcups.cpp 158: following will be used Quality=0, MediaType=0, ColorMode=2, Apr 4 21:57:39 hobbes Photosmart-C5500-series: prnt/hpijs/hpcups.cpp 682: hpcups: returning status 0 from main Apr 5 09:06:24 hobbes hpcups[15344]: prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 361: DEBUG: Bad PPD - hpPrinterLanguage not found Apr 5 09:06:24 hobbes hp[15345]: prnt/backend/hp.c 847: ERROR: null print job total=0 Apr 6 06:32:25 hobbes hpcups[19263]: prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 361: DEBUG: Bad PPD - hpPrinterLanguage not found Apr 6 06:32:25 hobbes hp[19264]: prnt/backend/hp.c 847: ERROR: null print job total=0 Apr 7 06:33:35 hobbes hpcups[31289]: prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 361: DEBUG: Bad PPD - hpPrinterLanguage not found Apr 7 06:33:35 hobbes hp[31290]: prnt/backend/hp.c 847: ERROR: null print job total=0 Apr 8 06:29:48 hobbes hpcups[4022]: prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 361: DEBUG: Bad PPD - hpPrinterLanguage not found Apr 8 06:29:48 hobbes hp[4023]: prnt/backend/hp.c 847: ERROR: null print job total=0 Apr 8 08:26:25 hobbes hpcups[5007]: prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 361: DEBUG: Bad PPD - hpPrinterLanguage not found Apr 8 08:26:25 hobbes hp[5008]: prnt/backend/hp.c 847: ERROR: null print job total=0 Apr 8 11:15:11 hobbes hpcups[7919]: prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 361: DEBUG: Bad PPD - hpPrinterLanguage not found Apr 8 11:15:12 hobbes hp[7920]: prnt/backend/hp.c 847: ERROR: null print job total=0 --- Any ideas?
