Facing Problem in installing hplip

(1/3) > >>

CGeTech:
Hello,

I am having HP 4500 and HP laserjet 1008, was trying to install both the printers.

However, I am not able to install hplip-2.7.tcz as its not installing correctly. cups also not starting as needed.

I am attaching the screen shots, Please help !!

Juanito:
The message you get on starting cups for the first time is normal - if you try "ps aux | grep cups", you'll see that the cups daemon is running

CGeTech:
Hello,

Thanks for your reply !!

The daemon is working just checked it, but still i am not able to open http://localhost:631

It is showing unable to connect. Sorry don't know much what to do next.

Juanito:
Is /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf present?

gordonselfish:
hi

There is evidence you have downloaded cups but not the hp package
The second image shows hplip* downloading but not the result,  and  No yellow status box in APPS is visible.

maybe you could just try as a local user

--- Code: ---tce-load -i hplip-2.7
--- End code ---

and report if you get any errors please.
---If no errors move on to Juanito's suggestion.

2) Did you realise that you have added hplip-2.7 and cups to your onboot.lst?
Hint....that would be reasonable if you do a lot of printing but a bit of a waste if you only do infrequent printing

In either case....once you can setup your printer....its smart to have some files as per the cups info file.....added to your backup

3) Forgive me, for arrogance based on your low post count.....if you don't want something auto loading on reboot....next time you use APPS
pulldown the bottom LH button in APPS and select download only.

You can always go into APPS /Mainenance/ onboot Maintenance and move stuff from the LH pane into the RH pane = onboot
or the reverse.

good luck
