Hi, These email notifications - just to make sure - are they from or to Fedex? What version for Firefox are you using? What plugins have you got enabled? When did they last work? Do you remember doing anything to Firefox, such as changing addons/extensions, upgrades etc? They are email notification...

Am having a problem with getting email notification requests to Fedex for package tracking to work under Linux Mint's (mate 19.2 - 64bit) Firefox browser. Is there any way to contact Firefox to request that they contact Fedex web developers to work on fixinig this problem ? These email notifications...

Followup: Another friend of mine found this for me. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Inkjet-Printing/Fix-for-Photosmart-Wireless-Setup-Problem-with-SSID-of/td-p/1877661 Might possibly be a solution. I have not tested it. Seems sort of like reinventing the wheel. Probably some half-as? solution which HP...

I have never understood how it is that a person is supposed to find a particular printer on that listing unless it is by just pure luck since there seems to be no rhyme nor reason as to how those printer models are listed Yes it's a horrible disorganised listing, that's why I left it to you to sear...

I just tried hp-wificonfig this morning and everything goes along great (prints test page fine) UNTIL I am prompted to unplug the USB cable then from that point forward will NOT print anything. I am really to the point of thinking that there is some hardware or firmware problem with this printer. S...

the printer seems to wants to DICTATE that the router SSID must match and be equal to the printer SSID as shown at the bottom of the report - which really does not make any sense to me but I tried it anyway and indeed when I changed the router id to that SigmaplusEOL1 That sounds like an error msg,...

Wpshooter, is your version of HPLIP new enough for your printer? Look here https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index to find your printer and see what HPLIP you need, and whether you need a plugin. Cliff: The hplip version that is installed by Linux Mint Mate 1...

per my 10/10/2019 - 8:19 pm posting: Find attached a copy of the HP Photosmart C4700 Wireless Network Test Report - notice the areas that I have circled. This is indicating that the printer seems to wants to DICTATE that the router SSID must match and be equal to the printer SSID as shown at the bot...

Isn't there a button to push on front of printer where you can set up the wireless? It could be as easy as choosing the WPS or automatic setup, after also pushing the WPS on the router.

As I said previously, already tried that - did nothing, i.e. did not work.

But thanks.

Looks like the user of this printer is going to have to be happy connecting via USB cable. Which is what me personally would choose over wireless 7 days per week. You originally said: Have not yet tried with USB cable, would really prefer it to be wireless. and gave the impression that you had deal...

I have an HP Photosmart 4700 printer. What I did was open Package Manager, searched HPLIP, and added all of what it gave. I did get mine set up for router, then gave it a static IP address. Had no problems with it since. Even can get reported ink levels. What was purpose of giving it static IP addr...

Do you have both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi signals turned on? That printer may only connect to 2.4Ghz wifi. Check in your router, turn off the 5GHz and see if that helps. Also, use the WPS button on newer routers, and then see if the printer can connect to it. There is no such parameter/setting in the r...

Will try some of that tomorrow but for now when I run the HP Wireless Network Test Report from the hardware of the printer, the printed report says the following: Your HP printer cannot find your wireless router, however I know that it is on because I can see the wireless light on the router and als...

Brian, thanks for the info. But shouldn't this printer be auto-detected and configured by the OS ? I believe that it is listed as supported on HPLIP. P.S. - I just hooked it up to my own (not the client's laptop) laptop via USB cable and it is just about a one click deal and it is working. Shouldn't...

Am trying to get HP photosmart model C4740 to configure on Linux Mint 19.2 mate laptop on a wireless basis.

So far can not get it to install - not detecting or recognizing it. Have not yet tried with USB cable, would really prefer it to be wireless.

Any suggestions ? More info if needed.

Thanks.

I have noticed that when installing Linux Mint mate in particular 19.2 that different fonts are installed/set for the desktop font when installing on one computer or another. Why this difference ? Yes, I know the font can be changed but just wondering why the SAME font is not initially installed on ...

It's quite a difference. The Java website would have you install Oracle Java 8. Linux Mint 19.x comes installed with OpenJDK Java 10. OpenJDK is the reference implementation for Java. I'd not mess with your system and just try the Foxpro software as-is with OpenJDK installed. If you do need to down...

Is it possible that the update manager was itself doing its automatic checking for updates, at the same time? Strictly my guess that you have probably hit the nail on the head, so this sounds like a bug of sorts to me !!! Am I supposed to know if and when this is taking place and not attempt to do ...

Perhaps a clue: Resource temporarily unavailable Have no idea as to what this resource refers to nor why it would possibly be unavailable since my computer had just been booted from a cold start and update manager was just attempting to be used for first and only time since booting, unless it is re...
