How to install Printer Driver For HP LaserJet 1020

[JFL]

Need assistance in installing HP_LaserJet_1020 on Manjaro-ARM-VIM3-XFCE.

First I tried to install hplip-gui but found out in Manjaro repo there is no hplip-gui, so installed hplip (successful).

sudo pacman -S hplip (successful).

Next tried to use hp-setup to install hp-plugin

$ hp-setup (as expected System return error: Gui package not installed)

warning: GUI Modules PyQt4 and PyQt5 are not installed
error: hp-setup requires GUI support (try running with --qt3). Also, try using interactive (-i) mode.

Next tried to run hp-plugin directly but unsuccessful.

$ sudo hp-plugin (unsuccessful - FYI without HP-Plugin LaserJet_1020 won’t print)

Tried to locate “Printer Setting” in Setting Manager but cannot find “Print/Printer Settings”.

Need guidance. Thanks.

[Wollie]

Have you CUPS installed and enabled?

See Manjaro wiki:
Printing - Manjaro

[JFL]

@Wollie

See Manjaro wiki:
Printing - Manjaro

Hi Wollie,

Thanks. I did try to follow some of the instructions in Printing - Manaro. Failed with the first instruction.

Example:
[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$ pamac install manjaro-printer
Error: target not found: manjaro-printer

[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$ systemctl enable --now cups.service
Failed to enable unit: Unit file cups.service does not exist

From my experience using Ubuntu to get HP LaserJet 1020 to print I need to install hp-plugin for HP LaserJet 1020 and it is by installing hplip-gui and followed by running “hp-setup” to complete the installation.

But in Manjaro hplip-gui is not available as such I cannot run “hp-setup”. Eventhough I have successfully installed “hplip - HP Device Manager” but I cannot start it either.

[Wollie]

@JFL

[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$ systemctl enable --now cups.service
Failed to enable unit: Unit file cups.service does not exist

Install it then, first:

sudo pacman -Syu cups

[JFL]

Thanks. Will install “cups” first. For your info my printer is connected via USB directly to the Beelink GT King Pro.

[JFL]

@Wollie

Install it then, first:

sudo pacman -Syu cups

Hi Wollie,

Steps taken so far to install HP_LaserJet_1020 printer driver.
.
1. Installed hplip: “sudo pacman -Syu hplip”
2. Installed cups: “sudo pacman -Syu cups”
3. Enable cups: “sudo systemctl enable –now cups.service

[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$ sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service
[sudo] password for jfl:
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/printer.target.wants/cups.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/cups.socket → /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.socket.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.path → /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.path.

4. Run HP Device Manager by selecting from the menu. (Nothing happen or pop-up.)
5. Run HP Device Manager with the command line: hplip (Nothing happen or pop-up)
6. Next CUPS Desktop Interface Part: The Automatic Method. Cannot Find “Print Settings” in the desktop menu.

Does not seems to work so far. Did I miss any steps? Should at least be able to locate “Print Settings”. Appreciate your guidance. Thanks.

[steanne]

the 1020 does require the plugin and your attempt to install it directly failed. install hplip-plugin from the aur.

[JFL]

Hi steanne,

Yes, found the hp-plugin at AUR but Package Manager build aborted. No idea why it aborted.

I do understand from my previous experience with Debian & Ubuntu, without installing hp-plugin, HP_LaserJet_1020 will not print. In Debian/Ubuntu it was much easier to resolve by installing hplip-gui and run hp-setup, that is all it takes.

sudo pacman -Syu cups

Hi Wollie & steanne,

I noticed “print-manager 20.12.0-1” or “Print Setting (system-config-printer) 1.5.13-4” are not installed in my Manjaro-ARM-VIM3-XFCE-linux-vim 5.10.1-1. Do need to install either one of these module/app first?

[Wollie]

I don’t know but would try in your case. Shouldn’t hurt.

[JFL]

Ok. Installed “Print Settings” using Add/Remove Software App. I can now find and start up “Print Settings” in the desktop menu.

Now what is missing is to install the “hplip-pluging”.

[JFL]

Step by step inching toward the goal but yet so far.

Installed “Print Settings” with Package Manager or Add/Remove Software App. Now I can find and start up “Print Settings” in the desktop menu.

Without the “hplip-plugin” eventhough the LaserJet_1020 is recognised by the Print Settings it won’t Print. Just tested it by “Test Print”, No Print Out from LaserJet_1020.

The question is how to successfully install “hplip-plugin”. First try installing using Add/Remove Software App/Module wasn’t successful, resulted in Error and it Aborted.

[spikerguy]

There is another thread with similar issue.

Pinebook Pro Printing Issue

I believe this is no longer a problem with the main ISOs, but first I would check if your user is in the sys group. If not, I added my username mparillo (substitute your username) with: $ sudo gpasswd -a mparillo sys Second, when you installed hplip, I would check to see which optional dependencies were installed. For example: Optional dependencies for hplip cups: for printing support sane: for scanner support [installed] xsane: sane scanner frontend python-pillow: for command…

He was able to install it. Please try the solution from there.

The question is how to successfully install “hplip-plugin”.

This is called hplip in arch/manjaro linux > sudo pacman -S hplip
You can install all the needed pkg using

sudo pacman -S print-manager system-config-printer cups python-pyqt5

and start needed service

systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.service --now

Run Hp Printer setup tool.

hp-setup -u

Hi Spikerguy,

Thanks. Followed all the steps. “hp-setup -u” failed to identify/locate HP_LaserJet_1020. Will try again after reboot.

[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$ systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.service --now
Failed to enable unit: Unit file org.cups.cupsd.service does not exist.

So I perform:
systemctl enable cups.service --now (fyi already done yesterday and perform again).

[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$ systemctl enable cups.service --now
[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$

[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$ sudo gpasswd -a jfl sys

Hplip HP 1102w Laserjet install failure

Hello I am desperately trying to install hplip for my HP 1102w. The Package from the repos and the Package downloaded directely from HP both break because there is a missing dependency. error: A required dependency ‘python3-pyqt4 (PyQt 4- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x))’ is still missing And I have no clue how to solve that… Any suggestions? Thanks Peter

[JFL]

@spikerguy

After this, I see this screen.

Yes, “hp-setup -u”, I have this which is almost there:

And when I click “Next” I should see “HP-LaserJet-1020” but I don’t (Printer is already On. Off and On again Still can find Printer). I change from to different USB port still the same issue. hp-setup -u cannot find printer. This is weird.

Cups-filters is installed. So what is missing?

I will redo the command:

sudo pacman -S print-manager system-config-printer cups python-pyqt5 hplip

The reinstallation seems successful to me. Will reboot and run “hp-setup -u” again. Before I run “hp-setup -u”, Is there any more step or command I need to perform first?

Hi,
Thanks. I did read through this and for your info “cups-filters” is installed. This is the puzzling part. So close and yet so far.

@spikerguy

sudo hp-setup -u should work.
I just tried on my PBP here is the log

[spikerguy@Manjaro-Factory ~]$ sudo pacman -S print-manager system-config-printer cups python-pyqt5 hplip
warning: python-pyqt5-5.15.2-2 is up to date -- reinstalling

I have perform the exactly the same comand:

sudo pacman -S print-manager system-config-printer cups python-pyqt5 hplip
warning: python-pyqt5-5.15.2-2 is up to date -- reinstalling

Reboot and issue “hp-setup -u” again. Same issue, cannot locate Printer.

I just printed out two pages with Debian just a minute ago the printer is connected to same USB OTG Port.

And yet “hp-setup -u” cannot locate the printer.

I have also:

[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$

The only command not possible is:
[jfl@MNJROGTKPRO ~]$ systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.service --now
Failed to enable unit: Unit file org.cups.cupsd.service does not exist.

Somehow there might be a conflict preventing “hp-setup -u” being able to locate the USB port/Printer. Is this possible?
