Yevgeny, I'm sorry you are having this experience with HPLIP.
You will want to review the install docs at: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/step2/fc4.htmlYou are most likely having troubles because SELinux is enabled. Please disable SELinux, run "/etc/init.d/hplip restart" delete your printer from CUPS, and then re-run hp-setup.
Thanks. A Yevgeny V. Mospan wrote:
Hello,I am using 2.6.17-1.2141_FC4smp kernel (FC4 x86_64) and recently purchased HP-DeskJet 6980. I went to hp.com/go/linuxprinting <http://hp.com/go/linuxprinting> and followed all the instructions. Downloaded hplip configured with --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64, did make and make install. All went well...Then my first problems started: When i did /etc/init.d/hplip restart I got Stopping hpiod: [FAILED] Stopping hpssd: [FAILED] Starting hpiod: [ OK ] Starting hpssd: [ OK ] Also I tried hp-setup and it gave me : #hp-setup HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 1.6.7) Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 2.1 Copyright (c) 2003-6 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details. error: Unable to connect to hpiod.At the same time installing my printer via CUPS worked just fine (with hpjis). And I can print pdf and ps files, it seems pictures can be printed (didn't check the quality yet).When again trying to start hp-toolbox I get: # hp-toolbox HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 1.6.7) HP Device Manager ver. 6.2 Copyright (c) 2003-6 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
