The printer is marked Enabled and Shared.
Did you have selected the button "+Add"?
After installing your Printer do right-mouse-click to the printer symbol and mark - if not already done - "Enabled" and "Shared"
The printer is marked Enabled and Shared.
Try once more "Preferences => Printing => [+Add]"
install the Laserprinter again, select this second installed printer and set it as default, shared and enabled.
Thanks for your help Werner. I've performed some tests and:
after rebooting system there is no possibility to print for CUPS server is not started.
Even if I try to go to: Menu -> Preferences -> Printing nothing can be done for the answer is: printing is not available,
As I try to connect to localhost the answer is: can't connect to localhost
After Menu -> Preferences -> Printer configuration CUPS is invoked, started and then I can close internet browser
and go to: Menu -> Preferences -> Printing and then I can see my printer and with properties Enabled ; Shared.
Printing is possible.
I presume CUPS demon is not started at the starting of the system and this is the problem.
It's OK I don't need to print every time i start the computer but I need to know how to put printer in action
I have to check one more situation - the printer is switched on after the system boot. I need to know whether
the firmware is loaded just after switching the printer on (should be recognized by hot-plug) or some action has to be taken.
You know its the question of economy I do not need the printer be on all the time. Anyhow I use it at home and don't print a lot.
(I bought Laser printer when my children were at school and then I was very useful now I print something from time to time)
Please post the content of '/etc/cups/printers.conf'
Ok /etc/cups/printers.conf says:
Anyhow I checked the situation when printer is switched on after the system boot. It's OK firmware is loaded just after switching on the printer.Code:# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.5.3 # Written by cupsd # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING <DefaultPrinter HP_LaserJet_1020_USB_FN2J3XV_HPLIP> UUID urn:uuid:b64138b0-8988-3332-7fb6-7dbeebef5056 Info HP LaserJet 1020 Location Local Printer MakeModel HP LaserJet 1020 Foomatic/foo2zjs (recommended) DeviceURI hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1020?serial=FN2J3XV State Idle StateTime 1373615997 Type 8425476 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 AllowUser knoppix OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer>
As for me the Thread can be closed. The printer is working and the only problem with starting CUPS before first printing is not so important - anyhow you have to do it only once.![]()
