HPLIP installation procedure for the Suse Linux Enterpirse 11 Sp1

Asked by Louis

Dear Support

I have the questions for the HPLIP 3.15.4 installation procedure for the SuSE Linux
the Linux version as the following

I tried to follow the manual installation instructions but fail (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/suse_linux.html) , and my desktop cannot access the internet, would you mind to let me know how to install the HPLIP 3.15.4 and the driver-plug in for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP1?

This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it

under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:

1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the

HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies

are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.

2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro

supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball

has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.

3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode

will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Only FYI:

You may have a look at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1424539
which seems to be a similar issue.

Regarding SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1:
As far as I know SP1 is outdated and
no longer supported by SUSE.
Nowadays SP3 is supported.
Accordingly I provide HPLIP version 3.15.2 also for
SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3
in the openSUSE build service development project
"Printing" but before using packages from there read
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing

For HPLIP 3.14.10 for
SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1
see

Dear Johannes

I tried to install the following RPMs but fail
hplip-3.14.10-4.2.i586.rpm sane-frontends-1.0.14-57.3.i586.rpm
hplip-devel-3.14.10-4.2.i586.rpm yast2-printer-2.23.1-1.13.i586.rpm
hplip-hpijs-3.14.10-4.2.i586.rpm yast2-printer-2.23.1-1.15.i586.rpm
hplip-sane-3.14.10-4.2.i586.rpm yast2-printer-devel-doc-2.23.1-1.13.i586.rpm
rasterview-1.3-5.14.i586(2).rpm yast2-printer-devel-doc-2.23.1-1.15.i586.rpm
rasterview-1.3-5.14.i586.rpm

so I remove the old HPLIP and HPIJS, but I still cannot install the following RPMs
yast2-printer-2.23.1-1.15.i586.rpm
yast2-printer-devel-doc-2.23.1-1.13.i586.rpm
yast2-printer-devel-doc-2.23.1-1.15.i586.rpm

and I also have the problems when I run the hp-setup
-------------------------------------------------------

I installed a SLES11-SP1 64-bit x86_64 system
on a virtual KVM machine where I selected
only the following patterns:
"minimal", "base", "X11".

Because I have a relatively minimal system
I first installed CUPS and started the cupsd:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# zypper -v in cups
...
The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
  cups 1.3.9-8.30.1
  libdns_sd 0.6.23-11.19.22
  libpoppler5 0.12.3-1.2.44
  poppler-data 0.4.0-1.1.38
  poppler-tools 0.12.3-1.2.44
...

# rccups start
Starting cupsd done
----------------------------------------------------------------

Then I downloaded the needed HPLIP packages:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/SLE_11_SP1/x86_64/hplip-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64.rpm

# wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/SLE_11_SP1/x86_64/hplip-hpijs-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64.rpm

# wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/SLE_11_SP1/x86_64/hplip-sane-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64.rpm
----------------------------------------------------------------

Then I tried to install them to see what other
stuff RPM requires:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# rpm -Uhv hplip*rpm
warning: hplip-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 250f3907
error: Failed dependencies:

        python-qt4 is needed by hplip-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64
        python-gobject2 is needed by hplip-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64
        libsane.so.1()(64bit) is needed by hplip-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64
        libusb-1.0.so.0()(64bit) is needed by hplip-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64
        libusb-1.0.so.0()(64bit) is needed by hplip-hpijs-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64
        libusb-1.0.so.0()(64bit) is needed by hplip-sane-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64
----------------------------------------------------------------

Then I used zypper to install what is required
from zypper's the usual default repository:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# zypper -v in 'libusb-1.0.so.0()(64bit)'
...
The following NEW package is going to be installed:
  libusb-1_0-0 0.9.3-4.22
...

# zypper -v in 'libsane.so.1()(64bit)'
...
The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
  libieee1284 0.2.11-31.14
  sane-backends 1.0.20-7.1.115
...

# zypper -v in 'python-gobject2'
...
The following NEW package is going to be installed:
  python-gobject2 2.20.0-1.1.56
...

# zypper -v in 'python-qt4'
...
The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
  libQtWebKit4 4.6.2-1.6.9
  python-qt4 4.6.2-0.1.87
  python-sip 4.9.2-0.1.59
...

# zypper -v in 'foomatic-filters'
...
The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
  a2ps 4.13-1326.33
  foomatic-filters 3.0.2-269.33.1
  wdiff 0.5.2-756.21
...
----------------------------------------------------------------

Then it worked to install the HPLIP packages:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# rpm -Uhv hplip*rpm
warning: hplip-3.14.10-4.2.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 250f3907

I have a HP LaserJet 1020 that really requires
a proprietary plugin for plain printing:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:2b17 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1020
----------------------------------------------------------------

Because I have a 64-bit x86_64 system with an
older CUPS (the default CUPS 1.3.9 on SLE11-SP1)
I need to do a special tweak to make the newer
HPLIP packages work with the older CUPS:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# ln -s /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp /usr/lib64/cups/backend/hp
----------------------------------------------------------------
The older CUPS still uses /usr/lib64/cups
while the newer HPLIP packages already
use /usr/lib/cups in any case, cf.
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575544#c2

Such special tweaks are one reason why I wrote at
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:jsmeix
----------------------------------------------------------------
Packages in the "home:jsmeix" project might
neither be in usable state nor fit into
currently installed systems.
Have this in mind if you think about to
install packages from "home:jsmeix" into
your currently running system.
----------------------------------------------------------------

It seems you have a 32-bit x86 system where
no such special tweak is needed.

Finally I can run "hp-setup":
----------------------------------------------------------------
# hp-setup -i
