Mounted on Linux HP PSC-1401 guard print a file strange book-catalogue

2013 11-23

I have recently acquired a very nice printer for all-in-one HP PSC-1401 someone and did not have the chance to use it with my Ubuntu Linux computer until today.  At first, I checked the scanner section and found that it works well.  But when I asked to print a small text file, kept printer printing a file that had clearly been stored in its memory

a previous task.  So far I could not get rid of this strange file in any way.  What is more, Linux shows the PSC1401 printer as default printer as well as the text file I want to print.  But the printer does its own thing.

Another very strange thing, it's that the printer prints even when USB cable is not connected to the computer, which is be a HP d530 table top.  Is the PSC1401 a machine wireless?

Thank you very much.

I would like to close this post I just solved my problem by running the following.

sudo apt - get remove hplip

sudo apt - get install hplip

sudo apt - get update

CD/usr/lib/cups/filter

sudo ln-s foomatic-rip foomatic-rip-hplip

I owe my gratutude to bryan641 to www.linuxquestions.org to the last two commands, which allowed HPLIP - 3.12.2 and so my hP printer to work in Ubuntu 12.04 1401.   Now all my previously reported problems are gone for good.

  • PSC 1510 guard printing alignment pages, won't allow me to use scanner

    My 1510 keeps printing alignment pages (or gives me an error of paper output).  I do not use the color cartridge and haven't for a long time.

    Now when I try to scan a document it says that something is in control of the scanner (probably the alignment process).   I put the fininsh the alignment process page, but he just keeps trying to print an alignment page.

    How can I disable alignment 'characteristic '?  I'm starting to think that the only purpose of this feature is wasting ink HP.

    Hello

    The alignment process designed to ensure optimal print quality, black ink and color are necessary to complete the alignment process, otherwise it runs aground.

    I'm afraid that the model does not circumvent the alignment process, thus getting a new color cartridge essencial in order to complete the alignment process, otherwise the printer will keep pritnign the sheet at the start of the device.

    You can try to print an alignment sheet and press several times the button cancel during the pritning of the page, I think that it can cancel the process then and allow you to scan, however the same will have to be repeated after the printer is restarted.

  • Correct Version of Linux Ubuntu 12.04 HPLIP HP PSC 1401 all-in-one printer

    2014-03-07
    
    I would like to know which version of hplip I should install for the HP PSC 1401 printer in Ubuntu 12.04.  LInux revealed a vague 'General/Unknown error' at the end of my installation of hplip-3.14.1.  Even though I haven't seen any system errors
    throughout my installation of hplip-3.12.2, the results have not been good; CUPS indicates that the foomatic-rip-hplip file is missing and my print jobs just get stored in the queue.  In other words, there is no communication bewteen the printer and driver.
    
    Only hplip-3.12.2 is available from Ubuntu 12.04  and I sense that it is not the right version for my printer.  Can anyone tell me what to do in this case, especially how to find and download the right driver?  
    
    Is there a good way to un-install any version of hplip without doing it laboriously, especially if it is downloaded directly from HP?  Thank you all very much.

    I just answered my own question by discovering a problem hplip - 3.12.2.  I found on www.linuxquestions.org that I can still use 3.12.2 as long as I link foomatic-rip to foomatic-rip - hplip after insatlling my printer.  This fix was given by bryan641 to the www.linuxquestions.org. My sincere thanks to Bryan.

    CD/usr/lib/cups/filter

    sudo ln-s foomatic-rip foomatic-rip-hplip

    Now all the old problems have disappeared and my HP PSC1401 works well.

  • HP psc 2110xi to print vertical gray lines on all printing (Windows 8.1)

    My hp 2001xi all-in-one psc began to print vertical gray lines on all the text and images on the test document in the problem-solving programs.  I asked troubleshooting this site to uninstall/reinstall it from this site which it has fact/could not, sayiny do my control panel, which is now no longer present the program of hp, or my research could find it.  I am running Windows 8.1 on my ASUS laptop.

    HP Print and Scan Doctor can't find anything wrong.

    I can still print documents with gray lines, obscuring everything.

    April1440

    Thank you for the information about the printer to uninstall for Windows 8.

    The problem of the gray line seems to be now disappeared after a very simple remedy...

    1. disconnect the USB and power cord

    2. plug in USB and power cord

    Tah dah!  Printer's original, more grey lines!

    I got this tip on the site, although the "vertical" illustrate and described were quite different than what mine were.

    Now, if I will be memorized for future reference, as I remember that this remedy has worked for other issues in the past.

    Thanks for the support.  April

    Hi @JimDirt,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that your new printer HP DeskJet 2130 guard print a "test page" each time you print.  I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I understand how frustrating, it would be for you. It seems that alignment has not completed when you installed the printer at the start. The alignment sheet must be scanned or the process repeats. This is normal and it will continue to realign itself ended successfully.

    This guide illustrates the alignment process:

    Load paper into the paper feeder (make sure that you load into the fresh, unused paper tray).

    Load plain, US letter or A4 paper in tray after installing ink cartridges.

    I have the following printer: HP psc 2110 all-in-one and I work with the Windows 7 operating system.

    I can print, but the 'Print setting Options' dialog box does not, and I can't change my options, always print with the default settings.

    I tried to access the "Print setting Options" dialog box in Microsoft Word, Notepad, paint, etc. and none of these programs open the dialog box.

    I have a problem when printing a PDF generated file from the provider of the Web site. What impression it will show anything on paper. It print empty document. This happen when I'm using the latest Firefox browser worm 29,0.

  • Firefox allows the printing of files PROTECTED on my server. WHY?

    All other browsers RESPECT the fact that a PDF is password protected and does NOT allow this file to be printed. Fire Fox violates this rule, and let's users simply of pass protection and print the files. It really SUCKS! He should fix it to conform to current practices. Is this corrected?

    John, your response to:
    "Basically if the image is published it is likely to be copied in one way or another." Perhaps consider tattoo and or only provide copies low-resolution images in these pdf's.

    I could certainly copy an image from a pdf file posted or downloaded by browsers other than Firefox. »

    WON'T. I speak NOT of the IMAGE being copied from a screen. This, of course, can be done by anyone. What I'm talking about you, is that FIREFOX, unlike all other browsers, ALLOWS you to print a PROTECTED PDF FILE complete. This should NOT be and this issue should NOT be closed and just brushed side because Mozilla has a MAJOR BUG in their software. Your program should be corrected in order to RESPECT the protection of a file and NOT allow it to be printed in its ENTIRETY.

    NO SATISFACTORY SOLUTION HAS BEEN POSTED. FIRE FOX IS BROKEN AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. PURE AND SIMPLE. DO NOT WHITE WASHING A CONCERN MOST OF YOUR USERS!
