 HP Laserjet Professional M1132 MFP setup
Subject description: How do I get this printer to work |
|
Hi Everyone,
I am new to Puppy from OpenSuse.
I am running Puppy 5.3.3, I did a search on the site and tried to install via CUPS. My printer was found, but I didn't know which printer to choose as mine wasn't listed. Which printer should I choose?
I have also tried installing hplip_print-3.12.9.pet. I think it has installed, but I don't know what to do now.
Any pointers gratefully received.

That sounds like you have learned how to run the CUPS printer setup wizard.

This package supports (sort of) your model. So the m1132 should now appear in the CUPS Models list. Did you not see it? If you have already installed the printer using a different model, you will need to delete that printer and start again.
Once you can find your m1132 in CUPS, please report back.

well, reopening this topic.
tried everything on PuppyPrecise 5.6.1 and Slacko 5.7
installed and deleted various pets :
-foo2xxx_rcrsn
-hplibs
-install_hp_plugin
-foo2xxx_udev
-hpijs_legacys
-hpliblite
-qt.sfs
-devx.sfs
etc.etc.
I dont know what not.
The best is not to install anything.
In that case Cups recognizes the printer and print a testpage succesfully.
That is,,,is says so.
But in reality nothing is printed.
??
I could only find this tread on the internet.
It seems to have been solved by the poster, but how?

You will notice that nappy501 never showed the courtesy of a reply.
When you run CUPS and select your M1132, it says "requires proprietary plugin".
| Quote: | Driver Plugin Information:
This printer REQUIRES a downloadable driver plug-in. Use hp-setup to install the printer, and to download and install the plug-in. In general, required driver plugins are required for printing support. Driver plug-ins are released under a proprietary (non-open) license and are not part of the HPLIP tarball release. |
It's been my experience that you need a full Linux like Ubuntu to get this kind of printer working.

Yes, theres a small command-line binary plug-in routine to run while connected to internet. Its called "hp plug-in".
But I also have a question about this 11xx series. It appears that Slacko 14 does not appear on the hp page concerning the printer (my case p1102w) and further that USB is not supported in previous Slacko's. The driver required is at least 3.12.x and 3.14 is availible. As far as I can tell Cups is v. 1.4.8 on my Slacky-pup (5.5XL). Do we have pet package(s) to deal with these obstacles?
I would presume a manual install otherwise.
Important to note I'm shopping, and found the 1102w at an affordable price (abt US$100). Deal-breakers here?

Please read the main post at the top of this section. It discusses the foo2xxx driver package which supports your Laserjet Pro P1102W.
The newest version of foo2xxx also supports some of the Laserjet Pro M series. This might have solved rik's problem.
