    Photosmart Plus printer not working via HPLIP

    I setup my printer via HPLIP and it said it worked. I made a test message. it never printed. The printer is setup wierless. The printer box shows that the document is on hold.

    HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m.

    Any idea what to do? I noticed during install bash said warning fontconfig was depreciated.

    Does this help?
    Code:
    Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

      No, that warning is harmless and unrelated to your printing problem.

      Verify you have snmp installed:
      sudo apt-get install snmpd

            I had to remove the printer and re-run hp-setup. After reinstalling the printer I sent a test message to the printer. It printed.

            Thank you oshunluvr, you solved the problem.

              I forgot to unplug the USB cable before the test. The problem is NOT solved.

                I just looked at Konsule and noticed this error mmessage that echoed during hp-setup program execution:
                Code:
                error: Unable to find hp-upgrade --notify on PATH.
                I don't see a way to unmark this thread as solved. Can an admin unmark a thread as solved since I thought it was solved and mistakenly marked it as solved.

                  Well, I've never had trouble with my HP printers but I don't use WiFi either. I think the hp-upgrade error is a system tray issue, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

                  I would fall back to basic trouble shooting. Using only the terminal;

                  ping the printer directly
                  verify snmpd is running
                  run hp-setup

                  assuming success of the above;

                  try printing from the command line.

                  In all cases, report errors exactly as observed and don't do anything other than the test at the time. Scan all your log files for entries around the time of your testing and report any errors there also.

                  Also, HP has a linux printing site with lots of faq's and I think a forum. You might find an answer there.
