I forgot to mention, I do see some messages in /var/log/allmsg that seem to imply part of the problem.. The program is searching for a scanner on the parallel port, even though none is configured: ----- Nov 26 06:43:05 stork hpiod: unable to ParDevice::Open hp:/par/ANY?device=/dev/p arport0: No such file or directory: io/hpiod/ppdevice.cpp 828 Nov 26 06:43:05 stork hpiod: unable to ParDevice::Open hp:/par/ANY?device=/dev/p arport1: No such file or directory: io/hpiod/ppdevice.cpp 828 Nov 26 06:43:05 stork hpiod: unable to ParDevice::Open hp:/par/ANY?device=/dev/p arport2: No such file or directory: io/hpiod/ppdevice.cpp 828 Nov 26 06:43:05 stork hpiod: unable to ParDevice::Open hp:/par/ANY?device=/dev/p arport3: No such file or directory: io/hpiod/ppdevice.cpp 828 Nov 26 06:49:03 stork sshd[17283]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for root fr om 10.1.1.3 port 33345 ssh2 ----- This is a USB scanner, so the parallel port is totally unnecessary. I have read here and there on the web that there is a compile-time switch to turn parallel code off, but there doesn't appear to be a corresponding USE flag. Also, here is the output from `emerge info`: ----- Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2 4-rc2 i586) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-rc2 i586 Pentium MMX Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i586-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [dis d] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -momit-le rame-pointer -ftracer" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/sh config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -momit- -frame-pointer -ftracer -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Li distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/media/packages/stork" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 crypt cups curl eds emb encode expat foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk2 imlib ipv6 jpeg ++ libwww mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis gl oss pam pdflib perl png ppds python quicktime readline recode samba scann dl spell ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb vorbis x xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY ----- Again, the scanner worked fine under hpijs/hpoj, but I was forced to change to hplip because of the unsolveable printing issue under hpijs/hpoj. One last bit of info I forgot to mention - the printer/scanner in question is an HP PSC-1350. Well folks, ignore the bit about not being able to solve the hpoj/hpijs printing problem - you need "USB Device Filesystem" enabled in the kernel for these to work (but not for hplip? Um, ok). The slowness issue still stands, though. Are you using parallel port? See this: http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/ MandrivaLinux2006ReleaseNotes#HP_printers_and_multi_function_d Have you tried to use the latest hplip version? The printer is connected via USB. I'm not sure what specific version of hplip I was using, but at the time, it was the latest version offered through Gentoo's portage system. I'm sorry, but I don't think there is much we can do here to help you. Please report this bug upstream, they might be able to provide better support. |
