Linux Mint Forums

so if I was installing the Canon driver for this device, I would go here https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/laser/laserbase_mf_series/i-sensys_mf8280cw.aspx?type=drivers&driverdetailid=tcm:13-1506758&os=Linux%20(64-bit)&language=EN (Canon Europe sit...

My hypothesis is that this device will not work on linux; as it is not listed on the hplip website as recognised and supported by hplip;

the 2633 would be the nearest; surely you need to talk to HP:

so Jim just do as srq says: enter the password and hit the ENTER key to make things happen; then sit back and watch as the package gets installed; then start bottom left at the MENU sign; go up to ADMINISTRATION and then find PRINTERS: click to open that do you see an icon for the EPSON? If so, righ...

sorry to hear of your continuing problems; at heart, this 2655 doesn't appear on hplip's page of supported printers; .. it must be so close to others; but close seems not enough to make it work; Everyone sings HP's praises; you do see posts with issues; If you still have the Canon, there is a progra...

sorry to hear of continuing problems; so it looks from googling on your error message that there is a new bug in gdebi that is causing the problem you experience; so let's try a different tack .. if you open a terminal; (hold down the control and alt and t keys all at once ......... sort of like a c...

great;

so the scanner works well?

so deepak has pointed you to a tutorial; there are a lot of steps there ......... the other option is to use the install tool that Brother supply; have a look at this thread that is beside yours; https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=273237 follow the instructions there; you can download...

googling on your error, if you go up to Home folder from the Menu at bottom left; when Home Folder opens; go 3 down in left column; and look for the /etc folder and open it and look for cups and then look for cupsd.conf.O which you can open with LibreOffice and see if there is text there; sometimes ...

great; so if you do

hp-setup

now, do things go better?

Your J870 is airprint-compatible; that was introduced last year in Ubuntu so comes to the new Mint; Brother supply an install script; it installs Brother drivers for the printing and scanning side of things; I recommend using the install script; it will install the scanner drivers and hopefully all ...

deaster2@deaster2hp:~$ lpinfo -v
lpinfo: Bad file descriptor

as you may sense, something is seriously awry with your system; I will try to google later; on

lpinfo: Bad file descriptor

... one gets various hits

so can you type or paste two commands into the terminal;

first, and if you copy what you get, and paste it into a reply; inside code tags: the 5th icon from the left in the above line.

then and do the same; thanks

so this printer needed an earlier version of hplip; so what you have is fine; if you open a terminal (hold down the control and alt and t keys all at once); and type hp-setup in the terminal; hplip should check things and should set up the printer; if it doesn't work, if you also do lpinfo -v and lp...

well done wordmaze; I would never have thought to say ...... hey, wait a minute ........... is your keyboard running in spanish ...... forums are like games of poker; it's hard to get people to show their full hand! Glad it is all working and enjoy

<user> ~ $ lpinfo -v lpinfo: Forbidden this is very strange; my take is there must be some permissions issues on your account; hopefully someone familiar with permissions can spot this and suggest how to check things out; you should NOT need to invoke sudo to get lpinfo (On the other hand, it is a ...

great; is it usb connected; and have you used the scanner on it please?

I read this earlier; I see kyphi has said what I was wondering about: but if it is ok to comment as well; dduran: can you type or paste lpinfo -v and also lpstat -t in a terminal; and can you copy what you get there; and paste it back here from the two commands; putting it inside the code display: i...

HP produce a bewildering variety of devices; I can't see this on the "supported printers" list on their hplip website unless you try contacting them directly; they have been updating hplip a lot in recent times If you right-click on the icon for the HP, what does it say in MAKE & MODEL ? what does l...

no good reason to upgrade to newer kernels unless there is a security patch.

so do folks need to go away and check each time a new kernel is offered; if it has a security patch please? (there's lots of stuff I don't know)

well done; great work As you have done so well at solving it; and you own the thread; if you change the title of the first post to add SOLVED but I can suggest you change that title to SOLVED udev rule fixes Epson Perfection V350 Photo ..... it just helps people find your good solution <<<<<<<< that...
