Hi!Everytime I start my workstation (DebianEdu 9) I have to run setup of HP Device Manager, because the LaserJet Pro 200 color, connected via network, is lost.Where do I have to look? Any help appreciated. readU Frank
Basically, this question is highly unspecific (unless someone has a LaserJet Pro 200 color and stumbled over this exact same issue. It is neither a problem of Debian Edu per se, rather a problem of CUPS in Debian 9.
When setting up printers on a network these days, I normally disable all auto-discover features in the printer's firmware and leave HP JetDirect Socket Printing (via <host>:9100) on. Then I make sure, that the printer gets an IP address from the main server on the Debian Edu network.
Furthermore, I remove all vendor software (HP Device Manager, what the heck...) from the Linux machine. Then I try to add the printer via CUPS's webUI on http://localhost:631
This normally works pretty well.The defaults in printers and in CUPS itself these days about auto-discovery of printing devices is awful these days, and on a huge network, the print dialogs get polluted with 100s of printers. Furthermore, I am always suspicious against vendor drivers and add-on print applications.
