Bugzilla Bug 102926

Attempting to switch from the deprecated hpoj I found I was unable to get hplip
to perform correctly. The printer is an HP PSC 2110. Probe failed with the
connection refused error despite trying to manually starting snmpd. Starting
hplip manually resulted in the failures mentioned in the summary, but I was able
to successfully print after configuring with kde control panel. Scanning was not
possible, but reemerging hpoj and editing /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to that backend
proved that my printer's scanner did indeed still work.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ./probe 
2. connection refused error
3. /etc/init.d/hplip
4. hpio and hpss errors
5. ./toolbox fails to start with error
6. test print using kde control center works
7. sane-find-scanner fails
8. reinstall hpoj, reconfigure cups, and edit sane.d/dll.conf
9. printer and scanning work as expected

Actual Results:  
Probe fails with errors, scanning does not work.

Expected Results:  
Probe should find printer as hpoj's ptal-init does without errors. Scanner
should work.

What is the text of the error you get from probe?  Also, probe didn't work for
me until after the hplip service was started.

Following information found in bug #97033 I was able to get my PSC 2110 to
work,
both printer and scanner, by running /usr/sbin/hpiod and
/usr/share/hplip/hpssd.py manually before running ./probe in the same directory
so apparently the bug lies with starting hpiod from the hplip init script. I
tried removing --quiet from the line that starts hpiod, but was unable to stop
the service due to a lock file even after deleting the pid file in /var/run.
Going to see what happens after a reboot.

Stopping the hplip services and clearing pids did not change the problem. Hpiod
and Hpssd.py still had to be started manually before probe to get printing
working. Also, trying ./testpage results in...

[ERROR]: No devices found.
[ERROR]: Error occured during interative mode. Exiting.

...yet cups happily prints and sane happily scans.

Same problem here.  HP PSC 1350.

Worked fine til most recent Fri Aug 26 00:00:08 CDT 2005 emerge -u -p -D system.

since i don't have how to test this anyone can please submit a patch that works
with this ?

reopen the bug when you have a patch for this (i don't have any printer that
supports needs this package).
