11 years ago forget this issue, I found solution. I made many modifications to this feed. I will fork it and post my changes : my target is to print directly from openwrt target the simplest way. I am about to manage it with foomatic-rip (foomatic_filters v4.0.x) without spooler using hplip v3.13.7 driver hpijs and the latest pdd file from HP (sligthly modified). I will post all of this once it will be functionnal

11 years ago @Georges760 Hi, when you opened and closed this I was out on vacations... what you described makes sense. The PPDs from gutenprint are probably not meant to work along with hplib, and in that case if you managed to install hplib then using the HP ppd file sounds like the correct solution. If you have the time to prepare the changes for submission that would be nice to have! Cheers!

10 years ago Is there any results of porting foomatic-filters? I have the same problems (configuring full print task processing on OpenWRT device for HP p1102). Can I help with porting?

10 years ago I've cross-compiled foomatic-filter, but when I send print task printer does nothing and there is no more errors...

9 years ago Hi , could you please send instructions?
Hi, I compiled and did everything as you said : on AA, with only compile of your printer feed, then scp to target, but at the end, I had to install ipks with many manual "opkg install" because adding the local repo in /etc/opkg.conf didn't work for me : it looks for the Packages.gz and I copied by scp only the many ipk files. So this issue may be related to this manual install... For exemple, Cups web interface didn't works as it, all /usr/shared/doc/cups files where missing, so I had to make another manual scp...
So coming back to this ticket issue : when trying to launch a print with on-target lp command (a png file), the printer give me this error : "File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip" not available: No such file or directory" and of course this file is missing in the filesystem. On my Ubuntu host there is a symlink : /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip -> /usr/bin/foomatic-rip But the one wanted by target here seems to be related to hplip. I found this is due to the ppd file I use for my printer (HP Deskjet 5600), I extracted if from the hplip 3.13.7 source code (latest).
So I installed hplip 3.9.12 from openwrt online feed (didn't compile it) : http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/ar71xx/generic/packages/hplip_3.9.12-4_ar71xx.ipk. After installation, I used the ppd file from this version of hplip. But still not any cups filter (foomatic-rip-hplip or hpcups) in file system... Even if in /etc/hp/hplip.conf, there is compile option : foomatic-drv-install=no foomatic-ppd-install=no foomatic-rip-hplip-install=no hpcups-install=yes
and opkg files hplip give me : Package hplip (3.9.12-4) is installed on root and has the following files: /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio.so /usr/lib/libhpip.so.0 /usr/lib/libhpip.so.0.0.1 /etc/sane.d/dll.d/hplib /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio.so.1.0.0 /etc/hotplug.d/usb/20-hplip /etc/hp/hplip.conf /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat /usr/lib/libhpmud.so.0.0.6 /usr/lib/libhpip.so /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio.so.1 /usr/lib/libhpmud.so /usr/lib/libhpmud.so.0
I am a little bit lost. Maybe when adding the printer, I should not select the one found by cups usb backend, but the generic HPLIP one ? But have to give the access manually... And which ppd file sould I use ?
Maybe I should try to port latest version of hplip 3.13.7 as it is relative to cups 1.5, that you use here... If I do so, I will put it on github so you can add it to into your already very good printing feed.
