CentOS5: Cannot Print

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have a HP OfficeJet K80xi all-in-one USB printer. The hplip web site tells me to do "rpm -qa hplip" from a virtual console. The result is "hplip-1.6.7-4.1.e15" (driver model installed). The web site table shows any driver later than 0.9.5 should work. When I send a file to the printer from a virtual console (lp filename), the response is "request ID is HPOJK80-7 (1 file(s)" but no printer action. The command lpstat shows only that job id listed. The command lpq response is "HPOJK80 is ready and printing", and lists only two jobs: #7 & a prior submission #5. Nothing has ever printed since I switched to CentOS5.

The command "system-config-printer" opens a window "printer configuration - localhost". There are 6 sub-windows. The first, "Settings" has a field titled: "Device URI". What is this supposed to mean? Is it the web address where you can download the latest driver? I can't believe the program checks for the latest every time it runs? There is a second field labeled Make and Model". This appears to be intended for the driver name? The current entry is not the correct name? Where is the driver stored? I obviously am confused. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bob T.
