HP printer stopped printing

computersavvy · August 13, 2023, 1:57pm

So is it only the pdf files that do not print properly? Or is it everything?

If everything else but PDFs are printing then the problem would not appear to be the printer itself but something in the delivery chain that converts the pdf to printable format.

Someone else will have to address the problem with python. (they may be related)

I tried printing an .odt file,
but again
it stopped the printing procedure

computersavvy · August 13, 2023, 11:10pm

All it takes is one corrupt job in the queue and the following jobs will stop – waiting for the preceding job to finish.

I suggest that you totally empty that queue before trying another print.

vekruse · August 14, 2023, 5:47am

May I ask how you did that?

ninos · August 14, 2023, 11:07am

I pressed print in the libreoffice writer menu

ninos · August 14, 2023, 11:14am

first, I deleted everything in the printer jobs queue,
this time I tried printing a png picture,

again this message appeared,

but the plugin could not be installed because

Perfect. Libreoffice will convert to pdf, and cups usually will be able to understand this

ninos · August 14, 2023, 12:56pm

No.
No kind of file can be printed:
pdf, odt, or image file.
Something is wrong with the driver plugin.
Have a look at the screenshots above.

please post the output of ls -l /usr/bin/python*

It seems the print routine is not properly accessing python.

How about dnf list installed python\*?

Does dnf work?
Can other packages be installed?
If dnf works have you tried sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh

ninos · August 15, 2023, 4:43pm

I update my system nearly every day.
with the dnf update command

Remove all the printing related packages then reinstall.

Is this ok [y/N]:

If one does that and retains a list of all removed packages then all can be reinstalled at the users convenience and be sure that the reinstall will (most likely) result in a cleanly installed and functional printing system.

ninos · August 16, 2023, 7:26am

I don’t understand what I should do
after deleting the cups.

computersavvy · August 16, 2023, 3:27pm

I thought it was implicit that one would need to do dnf install hplip hplip-gui cups and watch what dependencies were pulled in. Then as needed repeat for each of the removed packages that were not already reinstalled.

ninos · August 16, 2023, 4:41pm

I deleted and reinstalled the cups and the hplip,
after rebooting the system,
but EXACTLY the same error messages I put in the screenshots above appeared.
missing plugins, python 3 not responding
bla bla bla.
So, I give up.
Thanks for your patience, anyway.

computersavvy · August 16, 2023, 5:27pm

This is not the end of the road.
That error message is vague since it does not give the details, which may be available with using the command line. Since i do not know the full details of your system I cannot do much more except to give troubleshooting hints.

I would suggest that you try printing a pdf file using lpr filename which would print to the default printer and may provide additional messages to assist in troubleshooting.

There may be some logs in /var/log/cups which could guide you.
There also may be some hints in journalctl -b | grep cups

The lines below are the important error messages.
Maybe switching to the foomatic drivers might help. On Fedora 37, I have foomatic-db-filesystem and foo2zjs installed in addition to a number of hplip packages. I found this, but it is ten years old: HP printers broken in Linux? Here's a fix.
