I am trying to get an HP Deskjet 6840 inkjet Printer to work with my
Debian 3.1 Sarge stable system.
I am trying to get it to work with lpr
The name of the printer I am calling is the same name as its host name
which is hp7efdfb, its local address is 200.0.0.117 I have it using port
9100 which is the same port as my HP Laserjet which does work.
The printcap file is
laser4v:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp/laserjet:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/laserjet/acct:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/laserjet/log:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/filter.pcl:\
:rm=200.0.0.7:\
:rp=:
hp7efdfb:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp/dj6840:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/dj6840/acct:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/dj6840/log:\
:af=/usr/local/bin/HP-Deskjet_6840-hpijs.ppd\
:if=/usr/bin/foomatic-rip:\
:rm=200.0.0.117:\
:rp=:
In /var/spool/lpd/lp/dj6840 the status file says
If I do the following command
lpadmin -p hp7efdfb -E -v socket://200.0.0.117:9100 -P
/usr/local/bin/HP-Deskjet_6840-hpijs.ppd
debian says
lpadmin: add-printer (set model) failed: client-error-not-found
My lpstat -t says
scheduler is running
system default destination: laser4v
device for hp7efdfb: socket://200.0.0.117
device for laser4v: socket://200.0.0.7:9100
hp7efdfb accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
laser4v accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
printer hp7efdfb is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
printer laser4v is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
When I try to print is doesn't print anything and I can see the files
build up in the queue for the printer.
Windows will print to the printer using the HP Driver that came with it
but it doesn't have a linux driver on the disc.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can get this printer to work or what
I am doing wrong? I would appreciate any help you can give me.
