Problem printing through HPLIP #248

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

The maintainers of HPLIP asked me to continue my quest to get my HP T125 printer working from Linux. Our story unfolds at:

As before, I'm very willing to provide more information to get this large printer to work from Linux systems.

@sahilarora535, could you work with the poster (read the linked Launchpad thread) to get this solved? It is a rare case where a printer takes PCLm as input instead of Apple Raster or so. It is perhaps some bug in the rastertopclm filter output.

Bert,

It doesn't appear that HPLIP supports this printer at all. Not surprised you got sent here. If you can't work out driverless printing, there is an outside shot that Foomatic-RIP can help. HP tucked deep in the manual (but not on the spec sheet!) that this printer supports PCL3GUI and is likely what the Windows driver uses to print. The much older Designjet 500 also supported PCL3GUI, so I would give the 'cdnj500' driver a shot.

Just keep in mind that the PPD will have paper sizes larger than 24-in wide (the 500 was available as a 36-in or 42-in wide device). A test print with letter or A4 sized paper is worth a shot though.
