Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hplip
I've just upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04
My HP LJ2200D was working fine with 9.04 and the version of CUPS that
came with that version (1.3). It is still working from another machine
which is still running 9.04 so there is no problem with the printer.
9.10 comes with a new version of CUPS (1.4.1)
I have eventually managed to get hp-setup to discover the printer on the
network using the SLP network discovery method. Manually putting in the
IP address did not work for some reason even though I could ping the
address fine. CUPS localhost:631 would not find the printer but now
recognises it having set up with the hp setup tool.
So, now it recognises the printer, I can access the printer via the
browser and see all the settings etc.
BUT, it will not print. Even printing a test page from either the HP
toolbox or from CUPS gives the error "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed"
The hp file is in the stated folder. I have tried reinstalling hplip but
no change. I have tried different drivers including the one I was
previously using. Now have HP LaserJet 2200 Postscript (recommended)
(grayscale) installed.
I have looked extensively at other bug reports and howto pages but
cannot fix this. Please help as not being able to print is a big problem
for me!
