MGA2-BETA3 and Multifunction HP Printers

Postby smoreau » Apr 21st, '12, 16:57

I had to install a multi function printer which is : HP LaserJet Professional m1132 MFP. This one is connected through USB
So I did as usual with MCC and System Configprinter to install the machine.

It was easily detected with a URI : hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_Professional_M1132_MFP?serial=000...
The manufacturer and model was : HP LaserJet Professional m1132 MFP, hpcups 3.12.2, requires proprietary plugin
At this level if you try to print the test page that failed. Same thing for Xsane, the scanner is not detect ("Erreur d'ouverture du périphérique `hpaio:/usb/HP_LaserJet_Pofessional_M1132_MFP?serial=000000000QH2222PPR1a':Erreur d'entrée/sortie sur le périphérique.")

Following HP instruction (see below) I must download the plugin by using HPLIP.
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/downloads.html
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/mo ... 2_mfp.html
So I used the hplip and hplip-ijs 3.12.2-3.mga2 (from cauldron)

In the HP Device manager, in the Actions menu, you find (provide you have install the 1132 printer) an icon Plugin.
This one will download the binary plugin and install it. At this point the download failed.

In order to go further, I checked the same process with the suse 12.1 distribution.
I followed the same process, system configprinter and then HP Device manager. The printer is also easily detected with the same URI as mentioned above. Then i open the HP Device Manager and checked the pulgin installation.
The message in that case was : plugin successfully installed.
So I tested the print testpage : success
Then I checked Xsane : success, the scanner is perfectly detected and I was able to scan black and white or color data.
So on Suse 12.1 we can use this multifunction printer.
hplip from suse :suse 12.1 : hplip-3.12.2-45.1

I already filled a bug :

No need to repost this, when there's already a bug and another forum thread open for that problem. This is called crossposting and is generally disregarded.
