Bug Description

HP LaserJet P1102

Hi, yesterday I successfully installed the printer on the server Debian, it worked, I hooked up the Linux client and windwos-clients, everything worked fine. Worked as long as I'm not pressed the power button on the printer. I turned off and turned on the printer and printer lost. I have error in cups error log:
/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed
I reinstall hplip and depends, but now i have error:
prnt/backend/hp.c 745: ERROR: open device failed stat=12: hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1102?serial=000000000Q81DLWGSI1c

Now Printer not work :(
Here's the output from the diagnostic commands:

Dependency/Version Check Utility ver. 14.3

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper
dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Hello! I Solved this problem. The problem is that lsusb sees the printer but hplip can not connect with him. Apparently this is due to the fact that the printer is smart. Smart-connect. This technology from HP for automatic install drivers on Windows-clients. The printer has two modes of operation oO: Smart-connect Enable, Smart-connect disable. If Smart-connect enable printer automatic install in Windows, but in Linux her emulate device as CD-ROM, but not the printer. This is totally incomprehensible situation. To hplip could see the printer to disable Smart-connect. This can be done with a tool SIUtility.exe from installation CD. After hplip can see printer and work/print. But... Smart-connect mode can be activated if the pull cable from the printer while it works OR connect printer to Windows system, In this case, Smart-connect also activates. And you have to use the SIUtility.exe again to turn it off . It ugly. =)

For good Work:
1) Disable Smart-connect, use SIUtility.exe on Windows-system.
2) Not disconnect USB-cable while printer work (indicator ON fire).
3) Not connect printer to Windows, it activate Smart-connect again.
4) Set 777 permissions to usb device (printer), use udev rules for idVendor and Model.
5) Set default policy to "Drop job" or @Reject Job", differently after activation Smart-connect printer goes into pause (hplip backend failed), and will need to allow printing from the Web interface.

Lucky Print!

Giving a suggestion for a workaround does not mean that you have committed a fix. "Fix committed" means that a fix got uploaded into some repository, but the repository did not get processed yet and the fixed package released.

I am experiencing a similar (same ?) problem with a parallel port printer (hp laserjet 1100)
i can install the printer and print
however, once i suspend/resume the system, the printer will not print anymore (jobs are withelds);
If i use hptoolbox to delete/recreate the printer then the hp-setup says "no device found"
Using cups to find the printer -> the printer is not found anymore
trying to scan with xsane -> printer is not found either (the hp 1100a has an attached scanner)

this is experienced with lubuntu 11
and i can see that also with Crunchbang (this is a debian based distribution); symptoms are the same.

Thanks for any hint

Hello Gard,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with the hplip package. You made this bug report in 2011 and Ubuntu and hplip have been updated since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 827196
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

Hi Till,
I know you said not to change the HPLIP statuses. When I am addressing an old bug report like this one from 2011, would it alright to change the HPLIP status to incomplete at the same time as I change the status on the hplip (ubuntu) package?
Thanks
G
