(1)Fresh download tahr-5.8.0.8 (downloaded with Racy-5.5, checksum varified)
(2)Created new savefile (different HDD)
(3)Installed hplip-14's (from rcrsn51 thread)
(4)Installed tahrfix-5.8.0.8.pet

Same as with previous tahr-5.8.0.8, cups will NOT recognize my HP USB 1050 All-In-One Printer!!!!!! Only available printer available for setup is the PFD Printer in cups.

I will have to conclude that it's 'tahr' that has the issue and not myself or my equipment.

Here are some things to try.

1. Go to the folder /usr/lib/cups/backend
2. Open a terminal
3. Type: ./usb

Does it find anything?

Then go to the folder /dev. Turn the printer off and on several times. Do you see the folder "usb" being created/deleted?

With your printer turned ON, type

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep usblp
Is this module loaded? If not, load it

Code: Select all

modprobe usblp
Check your printer in CUPS.

sszindian: it says- bash: ./usb: No such file or directory/dev

Then go to the folder /dev. Turn the printer off and on several times. Do you see the folder "usb" being created/deleted?

sszindian: No

With your printer turned ON, type
Code:
lsmod | grep usblp

Is this module loaded? If not, load it
Code:
modprobe usblp

Check your printer in CUPS.

sszindian: Nope, not there!

Are you saying that your folder /usr/lib/cups/backend does NOT contain the executable file named "usb"?

If you do NOT have this file, then it certainly explains your problem.

But it does not explain why this file is missing. I have it in my Tahr.
Is this module loaded?
You never answered this question.

CUPS on Tahr Puppy

#66 Post by shinobar »

I have tested my printer which is working on Precise Puppy 571JP.

Tahr Puppy 5.8.0.8 furugal install RAM mode.
Installed the driver epson_inkjet_printer_escpr-1.4.0.pet.

Typed on a virtual terminal:

Code: Select all

# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
direct usb://EPSON/EP-704A "EPSON EP-704A" "EPSON EP-704A" "MFG:EPSON;CMD:ESCPL2,BDC,D4,D4PX,ESCPR2;MDL:EP-704A;CLS:PRINTER;DES:EPSON EP-704A;CID:EpsonRGB;FID:FXN,DPN,WFN,ETN,AFN,DAN;" ""
But the CUPS does not show my USB printer on the list of the Local Prnters

Installed gstoraster_s533-9.05.pet... same result.
Installed tahrfix-5.8.0.8.pet ... same result.
.
In all cases, the CUPS does not show my USB printer :cry:

When you turn on your printer, two things should happen. The device node /dev/usb/lp0 gets created. And the module usblp gets loaded.

It sounds like this isn't happening with some users. I cannot duplicate the problem.

CUPS on Tahr Puppy does not show my USB printer

#68 Post by shinobar »

1. Power off the USB connected printer
2. Boot the Tahr Puppy 5.8.0.8 without pupsave
3. Power on the USB connected printer

Code: Select all

# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb 
direct usb://EPSON/EP-704A "EPSON EP-704A" "EPSON EP-704A" "MFG:EPSON;CMD:ESCPL2,BDC,D4,D4PX,ESCPR2;MDL:EP-704A;CLS:PRINTER;DES:EPSON EP-704A;CID:EpsonRGB;FID:FXN,DPN,WFN,ETN,AFN,DAN;" ""
# ls /dev/usb/lp0
/dev/usb/lp0
# lsmod | grep usblp
usblp                   7582  0
CUPS --> Administration --> Add Printer shows only the SCSI Printer and PDF writer on the Local Printers list. :cry:
I couldn't find anything particular in /var/log/cups/error.log.

i can reproduce this odd problem ... printing is working on my netbook on a vanilla tahr5.8.0.8 with your pet or mine (this is the computer i've been using for testing) but i've just tried on my desktop, same setup as above and the same printer isn't found.

output is the same on both computers

This is like the occasional situation where CUPS refuses to detect a network printer. In that case, you can manually install the printer using the AppSocket/JetDirect protocol.

I don't know why it is happening with a USB printer, but can someone try this?

1. Run CUPS. Under Add Printer, select AppSocket/JetDirect.
2. On the next screen, delete "socket" and type "parallel:/dev/usb/lp0"
3. Finish the install as usual. You will still need the gstoraster patch.

Then try using the URI that comes out of /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb, like

Code: Select all

usb://hp/deskjet%205550?serial=MY29A1J2NS2L

hi rcrsn51,
can you explain how to do the last bit 'use the URI'?

It is printer's identifier to CUPS. Instead of "socket", paste in that line.

Have you tried the first method yet?

Check the permissions on /dev/usb/lp0. It needs to be 666. Other Puppies have a udev rule that sets this permission automatically.

Go to /etc/udev/rules.d

Open the file 55-cups.rules in a text editor. Change

Code: Select all

SUBSYSTEM=="usb"
to

Code: Select all

SUBSYSTEM=="usbmisc"
That will give the printer device node 666 permissions.

I have a desktop computer with Tahr 5.8.0.8 fresh frugal install connected
to a HP1050 using a local usb cable.

I went Cups - Admin - Add printer and it does show HP Deskjet 1050 j410
series...
I clicked on the circle and it continued to next screen ok.

My computer is 5 years old and has AMI bios v0702. You might check your
bios setup - usb configuration - Legacy usb support. I have mine set to
"enabled".

Have you tried a different usb cable?

666philb: I set up a printer in Tahr the manual way and it worked.

1. Install the gstoraster patch
2. Install the 55-cups.rules patch
3. Install in CUPS as parallel:/dev/usb/lp0

But I will be interested in knowing if wyzguy's USB BIOS change works.
