Bug#469177: hplip: hp-setup generates wrong URL which results in open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...
Package: hplip
Version: 1.6.10-3etch1
Severity: normal
Hello
Maybe this is already fixed in a newer version, but I decided to report
it anyway as it coasted me some time to figure out what went wrong, and
I didnt see a report about this problem.
I installed a HP LaserJet 4050N with the hp-setup tool, provided by
hplip. The printer is connected via Jet-Direct.
When trying to print a testpage from cups, cups tells me:
"open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds..."
Looking at syslog, I saw the following:
hpiod: invalid model HP_LaserJet_4050_Series != HP_LaserJet_4050_Series_
JetdirectDevice::Open
Back to cups, I modified the printer, and changed the printer URL from
hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_4050_Series?ip=192.168.1.100
to
hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_4050_Series_?ip=192.168.1.100
Now the printer is working fine.
I hope this can help someone to save some time :)
