You can dry-test without a printer (or you can test also with non-HP PCL lasers):
Do simply: sudo dpkg -r hplip With the HPLIP packages from gutsy-proposed this should give you an error sue to hpijs needing hplip. So with hplip staying installed ldd /usr/bin/hpijs | grep libhp should not show any problem any more. ** Description changed: Hi! Can not print anything with my USB HP DeskJet D1360 in latest Gutsy. Used to print OK recently. Job appears in queue as "Stopped: job-stopped". /var/log/cups/error_log contains multiple errors (see attachment). dmesg does not contain any relevant info. I am NOT running apparmor (no related packages installed). I am able to add/remove printers OK. Printer auto-installation works OK. Reinstalling hpijs, cupsys does not work. hpijs 2.7.7+2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu4 cupsys-* 1.3.2-1ubuntu5 Might be related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/131470 SRU request below: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /ubuntu-meta/+bug/149511/comments/19 TEST CASE: + Update; No printer needed for the test. Simply skip the printing test or + let the queue point into a file (Set "FileDevice yes" in + /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, restart CUPS, use URI "file:/tmp/out.prn"). You + see only with the "sudo dpkg -r hplip" and "sudo dpkg -r hplip" whether + everything behaves correctly. + On a Gutsy with a print queue for an HP inkjet or a PCL 5c/e laser printer (with HPIJS as driver) do sudo dpkg -r hplip and then try to print. You will not be able to do so, even after calling system-config-printer and modifying the print queue so that it does not use the "hp" CUPS backend. It is due to libraries in th hplip package which are needed by the HPIJS driver. You see it by running ldd /usr/bin/hpijs | grep libhp To get your system back to a working state after doing this test, do sudo apt-get install hplip -- [Gutsy SRU request] hplip is needed by HPIJS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
