Hello, Raghu.
First of all, thank you very much for yout attention and concern. You can´t
imagine how greatful I am, given the importance of this issue here in my
corporation. I chose this printer specially because of the given
compatibilty with linux systems. Before I buy it, I did a research in
HPLIP's site and saw this printer was well supported. You can imagine my
frustration when I noticed this annoying problem.
Your help was really crucial, and changing the MediaPosition number to 7 in
teh ppd file indeed solved the issue. Now it prints directly.
I did the number change in pdd prior to test with the hpijs, which, as you
state, should not cause trouble to the scanner function. So, basically, I
did nothing new from my last e-mail. I just changed the number in ppd and it
worked.
What does this number mean? Can you explain what we are changing?
Well, as for the other questions, the issue happens with all programs. I´m
using gnome desktop. It has happend with the "test page" in CUPS, with
OpenOffice writer and a few others.
As for the lpr command. I would like to try that, but I have no idea how to
use it. Linux for me, until now, was just for fun at home, where I did not
have the need of printing anything. Now I brought it to my company and the
scenario has changed. I don´t have a clue how to use this command, and "lpr
--help" ou "man lpr" did not help either, because the printer is not
connected to a port in the computer.
About the issue with the scanner, well, since the printer is working with
the recommended driver, I´ll change the driver to the hpijs later and do
some tests. I´ll report the outputs.
Funny thing: evince 0.6.0 is not able no print. I open a PDF, for exemple,
and click print. Nothing happens. The job doesn´t even show up in the Print
Notifier (job list) or in the job list in CUPS webpage. If I open with kpdf,
then it goes ok. Do you have a clue? How to debug it?
Sorry about this message´s size. I was pulling my hair out and now I hope
the problem will be solved!
Thanks very much for yout time! I sure appreciate it.
Luis Felipe

Assunto: RE: [Hplip-help] RES: Problem with Manual feed - HP Laserjet 3052
-Postscript driver
Hi Luis,
I have a 3050 and a 3052, both work fine. all the 305x have the same printer
mech and
theoretically, should behave the same way. Apparently, the 3052 is not.
However, whether you use the PostScript path or the PCL path (hpijs ppd),
the scanning
should not be affected. You say when you set up the printer to use the PCL
path, you lose
scanning function. What happens? I would like to look at the syslog file
when the scan
fails (/var/log/messages).
You may try modifying the ppd file to see if this works:
edit the file /etc/cups/ppd/HP_LaserJet_3052.ppd - you must be root or
sudo to modify this file
search for MediaPosition
you will see a line like this: *InputSlot Tray1/Tray 1: "<<ManualFeed
false /MediaPosition 3>> setpagedevice"
in this line, replace 3 with 7, save the file and try printing again.
Do you have this problem only printing the test page from CUPS interface or
does every job you send to this printer
from lpr or other apps have the same problem? Have you used the HP
DeviceManager to set print options?
Raghu

Subject: [Hplip-help] RES: Problem with Manual feed - HP Laserjet 3052
-Postscript driver
Hello, Aaron. Thanks for your concern. Please, help!
I did an update to the last HPLIP version. But it stays with the same
problem. I seriously believe this is a bug in the postscript driver. And I
think is must not be difficult to fix it!!!
Here´s what I did:
1 - Reset the printer (menu > services > reset);
2 - Fresh install of FC6;
3 - update all packages (yum update -y);
4 - removed hplip package (yum remove -y hplip);
5 - Installed dependencies (yum install gcc-c++ cups-devel python-devel PyQt
net-snmp-devel libjpeg-devel libusb-devel);
6 - Installed the HPLIP 1.7.2 with the auto-installer (installation
successful);
7 - Run hp-setup, find manually the printer (192.168.0.4); ok, printer
found.;
8 - Chose the corretc driver - Postscript - recommended
(/usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-ppds/HP/HP_LaserJet_3052.ppd.gz) - PS: hpijs
drivers were also suggested;
9 - Installation ok, finished with Test Page checkmarked: TEST PAGE WAS
PRINTED DIRECTLY, WITHOUT PRESSING THE GREEN "OK" BUTTON ON THE PRINTER;
But, if I enter in cups adminweb and hit "print testpage", then the printer
gests stuck and asks for the "green" button. It says in the panel:
"Manual feed LETT
Press [v] to use"
"avaiable media"
In CUPS "set printer options" I have this (came by default):
HP_LAserJet_3052: General
Media Size: Letter
Media Type: Unespecified
Media Source: Tray 1 (the only tray avaiable)
Tray 1 (manual): [v] False is checkmarked
Then I´changed the Media Size to "A4", and hit "Print test page" again.
The same erro occurs:
"Manual feed A4
Press [v] to use"
"avaiable media"
So, it doesn´t matter the configuration. It always happens.
If I change the driver to the hpijs, then it goes ok, but I loose the
scanner, which is unacceptable.
If I change the "Tray 1 (manual): [v] true", then I get the same error on
the panel.
Here´s my hp-check output:

Hello,
I´m using FC6. HPLIP comes installed by default.
I have plugged my new HP 3052 only by the network, and I´ve installed it by
the hp-setup. Just input the correct IP address of the printer and the
application did the rest.
If I open it in cups web adminsitration tool, everything seems to be working
fine.
The only problem is: everytime I print somenthing from fedora core 6, the
printer does not load the paper automatically. Then I have to push the green
button (ok), in order for it to print the file.
As the printer is plugged in the network, I try to print from Windows boxes
and everything goes just fine. It doesn´t stop for me to press the green ok
button.
Oh, and the option "Manual feed" is turned off.
If I change the driver for the hpijs, then it prints directly from the FC6
box, but them I loose speed, quality etc.
Any clues?
