After upgrading from PorteuX 0.4 to PorteuX 1.8 : Printer doesn't print

[Kulle]

After upgrading from PorteuX 0.4 to PorteuX 1.8, I'm experiencing printer issues.
I've used the same modules, and everything worked fine in PorteuX 0.4.
http://localhost:631/printers/HP5510 shows:

Code: Select all

HP5510
Lab1
HP Photosmart 5510 Series, hpcups 3.16.11 (color, 2-sided printing)
socket://192.168.178.24:9100
job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided

When I select "Show All Jobs," nothing is displayed.
I had sent a print job for a PDF page from Firefox.

In Firefox, the HP 5510 printer is shown in the "Print" dialog.
In Mousepad and Atril, only "Print to File" and "Print with LPR" are displayed.
Only browsers (Firefox, Mullvad) recognize the printer, but it doesn't actually print.

I have now tested this command: lp -d HP5510 test.pdf
Here are the logs from /var/log/cups/

Thank you very much

Hi Blaze,
I'm using PorteuX 1.8 stable Xfce
A crucial question
Which 07-printing-xzm module should I use?

In "Printing and scanning for Porteus", many printing-x86_64 modules have been offered over time.
Thank you very much

[Blaze]

Hi Kulle,
base module 07-printing-x86_64-2025-01-01.xzm and extra with deps for Xfce 07-printing-xfce-x86_64-2025-01-01.xzm

Hi Blaze,
I recently used the latest modules from January 1, 2025.
The hp-setup -i command didn't work.
It appears that hplip is missing.

In the 07-printing-x86_64-2023-04-22.xzm module, hplip was present.

Why was hplip removed from the module dated January 1, 2025?
Hplip is an extremely useful tool for installing HP printers.

I've now downloaded hplip-3.24.4.run,
but I couldn't install hplip using the command: sh hplip-3.24.4.run

What should I do now? Where can I get hplip?

[Blaze]

hplip-3.24.4-x86_64-2
hplip-plugin-3.24.4-x86_64-1_SBo
in the list of my printing module >>> Printing and scanning for Porteus (Пост Blaze #101462)

Don't use hp-setup. system-config-printer is a good way for this.

Hi Blaze,
hplip is present,
but hp-setup -i still doesn't work in PorteuX 1.8 stable Xfce
how can this be? What is missing in PorteuX 1.8

Don't use hp-setup. system-config-printer (run it in terminal) is a good way for this.
