I am having the same problem, and I think there is a conflict between system-config-printer and hplip...when my print jobs run through hplip, it's all good; but when the Ubuntu 9.10 default printer interface tries to print (like when I try to print from a web link), it hangs up and messes up the job...plus it doesn't show the toner levels, while hplip does. How can we get hplip to run it all, and get that other interface to quit taking over the print jobs? Instead of getting system-config- printer to display toner levels, which hplip does fine, why not find a way to get hplip to take over the position of system-config-printer? (I guess in multiple non-HP printer environments, this isn't a very feasible idea.) But the main point here is that hplip and system- config-printer are not meshing and sharing information, plus conflicting over which one will process print jobs (which to me is more annoying than not being able to observe toner levels...sorry).
Ubuntu 9.10, HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One, hplip (3.9.8-1ubuntu2), sys- cfg-prn (1.1.12), openprinting-ppds (20090825-0ubuntu4) ---> when I try to get rid of this package, synaptic tells me it will have to remove ubuntu-desktop too, but it shows a conflict with hp-ppd. -- Toner levels are available, but not reported to CUPS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395516 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
