Printer HP960C - printerbuginfo missing stderr complaint that "No packages found matching libgnomeprint2.2-0."
Step 2. HPLIP fails to start. Get bouncing icon for 3 minutes. Is there a way to kill it? Rebooted. No HP FAX/Scan capability so skipped to step 3. Step 3. HP Device Manager now starts, with a dialog to setup a device. Exited out. Step 4. Used hp-setup. Step 5. Wizard takes me through the install. Detects the printer. Recommends Foomatic/hpijs. Test page has banding in graphic. Bottom of bounding box (line below hp logo) is clipped, probably because it defaults to A4 paper. (Couldn't you use my timezone to guess I'd want letter?) Step 6. Tabs show ink level. Clean print heads, but banding appears in cleaning printout. (Banding was not present with Windows drivers.) Step 7. Page size defaults to A4. Print control tab display is clipped, in middle of "The printer is currently NOT SET AS DEFAULT", approximately mid-"e" of "The". OpenOffice subdialog is a subset of controls offered by HPLIP. Current toolbox settings do NOT appear in OpenOffice Print dialog, even though OO started after changes were made. Requested Landscape, 2 sheets/page in toolbox. OO printed as 2 individual portraits. Step 8. With Landscape, 2 up, 2 thin borders, mirror print, text file prints but text and right edge of box are in unprintable region on right side of page. [I was expecting a "booklet" style printout, but that didn't happen.] Step 9 & 10 skipped. No HP Fax/Scan capability Step 11 - No HPLIP printer device, used HP960 parport. CUPS recommended gutenprint. Set it to crop, printed test page. No banding present!!! Used HPLIP to print test page. It requested me to load plain paper even though printer still had paper. HPLIP test page prints black and white low-res graphic, despite CUPS indicationg RGB or CMYK color modes. OpenOffice defaults to A4 paper despite changing CUPS to Letter. Step 12 - Used KDE Printer Wizard. Horizontal banding on test page with hpijs. Banding and clipping w cdj970 driver, though now banding runs parallel to each edge of color wheel. Right edge and bottom of bounding box missing. Again, HPLIP wants paper loaded. If I right click to bring up the HP960C printer menu in the KDE Printing Manager, then click on Printer Tools, the flyout says "EPSON inkjet". Step 13 - Don't know if these are new or old bugs. Didn't have this recipe to follow previously. Step 14 - Different driver recommended, different problems. Is this enough to keep you busy? FYI - CUPS is detecting Canon and EPSON printers on the parallel port, despite the fact that there's only the HP960C on the port. ** Attachment added: "requested info" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7095538/printingbuginfo.txt -- Feisty UVF ER: New HPLIP 1.7.3 release fixes lots of bugs https://launchpad.net/bugs/98520 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
