The need to use opensource software has penetrated in my office. This activity is seen from my friends who have been able to use ubuntu as a tool for their daily job. But sometimes they need a little help when going on a few minor issues.
This time the problem occurred is about the HP LaserJet P1505 printer that is connected directly to the ubuntu 12.04 LTS computer. Often problems occur when making printed documents, the HPlip panel show that the printer is not connected corectly.
At the beginning of the installation, I have installed HPLIP version 3.12.6 drivers to support HP LaserJet P1505 printer, but it is often a problem. 12.04 Ubuntu are informed that there is a system error and appears popup to inform whether we will report it to the repository. I've done a bit of analysis, what version HPLIP driver suitable for printers and Ubuntu 12.04, hplip site helped me and informed that a suitable HPLIP version is 3.12.2, and the version in the repository exists.
To solve the problem, I did remove and unistall hplip package that has been installed before. Firts, go to the folder where you install hplip drivers before, I place it in /Download folder.
$ cd ~ /Download/hplip-3.12.6/
Perform this command to uninstall hplip
$ sudo make uninstall
Then delete the folder that related
$ sudo rm-rf /usr/share/hplip$ sudo rm-rf /etc/hp$ sudo rm-rf ~/.Hplip$ sudo rm-rf /var/lib/hp
For now the whole installation hplip-3.12.6 we remove.
Reinstall hplip from Repository
Once we uninstalled hplip package that we downloaded from hplipopensource, we now install the appropriate hplip package from repository. Previously, perform the following command to update the repository.$ sudo apt-get update$ sudo apt-get upgrade
do the installation package with the command
$ sudo apt-get install hplip
If the process is complete, please add the printer back on your computer.
