I have to admit this has me stumped. Because the Linux prints to the
Windows queue and prints to the epson it's not a firewall problem. It
sounds like a port bi-directional problem but you've said that doesn't
fix it. And installing HPLIP hasn't helped.
To me, I still believe its a problem on the Windows side. To clarify
where is the problem can you directly connect the Deskjet 3650 to the
Linux box and print test pages. That should indicate if the HPLIP or
HPIJS driver is correctly working.
Use Firefox (or browser) and http://localhost:631 to manage the
printer and printing on the Linux box.
If the Linux prints cleanly to the HP then its the translation from
Linux to XP. Maybe change the method of printing.
BTW, you can clear the Windows print queue by restarting the print
spooler service in the Administrative Tools, Services, restart print
spooler instead of restarting the PC.
Chances are your HPLIP is out of date. I had a similar problem about a
year ago when a friend bought that model. If your distributions
repositories aren't up-to-date use the link below. Let us know how it
went.
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
I can't install HPLIP from the site.
See this:
DEPENDENCY AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Running 'sudo apt-get install --yes --force-yes build-essential' Please
wait, this may take several minutes... \error: No output seen in over
300 sec... (Is the CD-ROM/DVD source repository enabled? It shouldn't
be!) fatal error: :hplip-install
I tried several times but don't get any further than this. So I gave up

Use the tarball version instead
This is "Welcome to Linux" I may assume :-)
I tried but it did not work out.

Set up the "print services for unix" on the win2000 box. It is under
control
panel - software - add/remove windows components (or similar).
You will get a raw lpd queue for the printer, with a queue named just
like the share would be.
In linux, setup a remote lpd printer on the windows host to connect to.
That ought to work.
Ofcourse this was where I begun.
And this was my problem: printing with lpd works with an Epson printer but
not with my HP printer.
Ah, I thought you were using the windows printer share.
But then, with lpd it is important to "guess" the proper queuename,
otherwise - from my experience - the printer may receive a reset signal but
not accept the data. |

The first thing I did was setting up an LPD/LPR printer in Windows. I
wasn't aware you could use a Windows shared printer with Linux!
The Windows LPD printer is called HPLPR. The Windows box is at
10.0.0.140. In Ubuntu I used the CUPS http interface to set up a printer
where I used the same queue name. The printer is at lpd://10.0.0.140/HPLPR.
The queue name of the Windows printer seems not visable for Ubuntu. For
instance, HPLIP can't find it. |

Anyone seen this problem before and knows the solution?
I have a Linux Box (Ubuntu 7.10) which is connected to a Windows network.
There is a Windows 2000 PC which acts as print server. Two printers are
attachted: Epson and HP. TCP/IP service is active. From the Linux box I can
print to the Epson printer without any problem. But this printer is normally
not used and not present, I use the HP printer as default. And to this
printer I can't print. The job ends up in the proper queue, the printer
initializes but that's all, nothing gets printed. I have to reset the print
server to remove the job, I can't delete it.
Tried different Linux (Fedora), tried different lpd services, re-installed
printer drivers, checked firewall, all to no avail.
The printer is HP Deskjet 3650. All Windows machines print fine to this
printer.
Any ideas?
Thank in advance for your help and suggestions.
With kind regards,
Fokke Nauta
Hi guys,
I got it working.
I created a new queue on the Windows box to the same printer. The
existing queue, which is shared, links to this printer as well.
Bi-directional on the new queue disabled. Then I created a new LPR-port,
using the IP address of the Windows box and the queue name of the queue
I just made. Bi-directional disabled as well. I also disabled spooling
on this new LPR port. I can now print to this printer using LPD/LPR,
although it takes a few minutes before the printer gives any response.
At least it works.
Thanks for all your help and your input.
With regards,
Fokke |

Great news indeed. Be aware at least on my system when CUPS is updated I
have to recreate the printers on the Linux box. |

Good to know. But I don't have printers attached directly to my Linux box.
The only printers I have are connected to the Windows box.

Yes I know and that's why it matters. Just know that updates to CUPS may
require you to reestablish the networked printers. The printers will
still be defined but no prints go to the Win2000, on the Linux box delete
and add the network printers again, should you have that problem. |
