HP PSC all in one and workaround solutions.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As two threads referenced two problems being present with the FC6
release and printing. The first problem referencing not being able to
scan. The second problem referencing not being able to print.
For the first problem, I found that resetting the all in one after
logged into the terminal will allow the ability to successfully launch
the scanner. It seems that the device gets in a state where the device
is set to a poor state, possibly when you dual boot and access windows.
Anyway, I was able to successfully scan in both FC6 and current
development by pressing the on/resume button to turn off the device and
then pressing the on/resume button again to restart the device. When I
pressed the scanner tool, it launched and I was able to scan with the
device.

Now for the problem with not being able to print. It seems that HAL adds
an entry for printers which does not work. Also, hp-setup will create
another entry which will not work either. If yo choose to add a manual
entry, then choose HP followed by the PSC model that you have (1210 in
my case with a model 1209) you should be able to get a working printer
with the manual entry. I chose the default driver for it which was a
foomatic gimp-print type of driver.

I don't know why the automatic HAL or the hp-setup entry do not work.
They just do not work for my system. The manual entry does though.

Maybe a little help or maybe some added problems with this workaround
solution.

Bug in progress of being isolated though.
