Problem with HP Laserjet 1020 printer

[rmag]

I tried to install HP Laserjet 1020 printer with system-config-printer and got following errors:

Where is the proolem? Especially regarding the "Module lp not currently loaded" error above. Thanks for your help.

Apart from getting the errors, is there an actual malfunction, or does the printer work?
You should get accustomed to the fact that an error message with no actual encounterd error happens pretty often due to verbose output of many tools.

Printer works immediately after installing it but not after restarting. There is a practical problem.

[doktor5000]

You mean after rebooting? So if the printer works after installation in the first place, I don't think those messages during installation are related.

Please provide some more information. How is the printer connected to your box? What does the cups web frontend say about the status of the printer? http://127.0.0.1:631

And after reboot when printer is not working, please show the output as root of

Code: Select all

systemctl status cups.path cups.service cups.socket -a -n250
journalctl -ab|grep -i cups
cat /etc/cups/printers.conf

Printer is connected by usb cable.

The cups web interface (http://localhost:631) shows the installed printer. It shows when document is sent for printing. It shows that rendering is complete and job is finished while there is no sign of any activity in the printer and nothing is printed.

Remaining I will post ASAP.

Ok, but what does it show as status for the printer itself? At http://localhost:631/printers/ in the rightmost column ...

[rmag]

I am not on that computer right now but I think it just showed 'Idle' and in the print dialog box of geany text editor- "Ready to print".

The output of different commands are as follows:

I am interested in only the first of the 3 printers listed in this file. Other 2 are probably on the network and I actually want them not to be included in my list of printers when I try to print some document from an application. Can they be interfering with my local printer? How can I prevent them to be not seen and how to make my own printer (first one listed in above file) to work reliably?

The root is member of lp and lpadmin groups, while the user is member of lp group. Is anything else needed?

The message in the cups web interface (http://localhost:631) is: Idle - "ready to print"

You should try to delete the LaserJet 1020 via system-config-printer and then try to configure it again via hp-setup.
