As usual like a dog chasing my own tail ,I have been scooting around the net looking for info on installing an HP 4050 lazerjet on Slackware. 14.xx Lots of info . But nothing works . lsusb ,no instance. tried with GUI . nowt.Tried term root . Lots of red warnings .hp-setup will show nothing . I (and no doubt many others) would be grateful for line by line install instructions . Many thanks for any assistance .

I have discussed the issue with printing within linux with cups before, normally before I have a chance to figure it out, life gets in the way or something else takes presedence. But now, I am ready to tackle this beast once and for all and I really need some help doing so because I have exhausted all my talents. So, here we are, below is my cupsd.conf file from my server.

Cups, avahi-daemon, and dbus are running just fine in systemd. When I run system-config-printer I am able to connect to the printer but when I select troubleshoot I get: Though I am not sure of what path the speak unless this is under a gnome setup. Printer is setup fine in SAMBA (which is now running on systemd) and printing from Windows is fine, but I can't wrap my brain around what I am doing wrong to prevent printing from Linux. I have been spending the last 2 nights going through arch forum posts, ubuntu posts etc trying to figure this out on my own. Your help is GREATLY appreciated as this has been an issue since I built the server and installed cups. Let me know what additional information you require. Ian

Greetings all, for some reason and I don't know if it is a print spooler issue or what but for some reason no jobs will print in either Arch linux or windows. I see the printer in both Arch and Windows but nothing prints. I went into my CUPS configuration page https://localhost:631 and went to the printer error log and I am getting this when I try to print: E [11/Jan/2013:22:49:31 +0000] Returning IPP client-error-not-authorized for Print-Job (ipp://localhost/printers/Officejet_7300) from localhost In Arch when I bring up system-config-printer and go to troubleshoot, it tells me: CUPS Service Stopped The CUPS print spooler does not appear to be running. I restarted cups.service with systemd # systemctl restart cups.service and that did not return with error but still un able to print. Not sure what changed, I have not messed with any of the config files. I did have an issue with the printer disapearing about a month ago and that was due to an hplip upgrade issue. I reverted back to the earlier driver and set hplip to ignore in pacman.conf. After that, had no issues printing. I went to print today and nothing happened. I have been doing updates so not sure if some update borked something up. I appreciate the assistance as always. Ian Edit: I am also getting these additional errors showing in the error log AddProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod:No such interface `org.freedesktop.ColorManager' on object at path /org/freedesktop/ColorManager/devices/cups_Officejet_7300 W [11/Jan/2013:22:43:04 +0000] AddProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod:No such interface `org.freedesktop.ColorManager' on object at path /org/freedesktop/ColorManager/devices/cups_Officejet_7300 E [11/Jan/2013:22:43:04 +0000] Unable to bind socket for address 192.168.0.10:631 - Address already in use.
