I had to install a new drive on my machine, installed latest version of Manjaro, but now the printer won’t print. I’ve forgotten how to configure it. I did it a long time ago and it was hard to figure out. My printer is HP OfficeJet Pro 8025.
Thanks in advance!
Did you install hplip? Maybe it already works without installing additional Software. Is avahi installed and running? Then maybe it will be found automatically.
I called up the ‘Printer Settings’ dialog and I filled in all the prompts including the driver from the list for my printer and got this error: “There was and error during the CUPS operation: ‘server-error-interval-error’”
I installed hplip, and tried adding the printer again and I got the same error message.
I would probably just use IPP everywhere.
I dont know what environment you are using or if you want a printer manager utility or …
But essentially if you just get the IP address from the printer … often from something like ‘verify lan settings’ on the printer … then you can just add that IP.
If you use something like print-manager (for KDE) then you can use the steps provided there and input something like
ipp://$PRINTER_IP_ADDRESS/ipp/print
Even without a manager you should be able to add it with a command like
lpadmin -p $PRINTER_NAME -E -v ipp://$PRINTER_IP_ADDRESS/ipp/print -m everywhere
If needed you can always install manjaro-printer which includes pretty much anything you should need to print. I think its too much, but its there if you want it.
I ran that on the command line and got this error:
lpadmin: Unable to connect to XX.XXX.X.XXX:631: Connection timed out
