#673 — printing to PDF does nothing - please help

Host OS:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Print to PDF does nothing.  No file name prompt.
Any ideas?

That means peripheral printers as in physical peripherals or physical printers not virtual 
printers that print to disk files.

Thanks, now I am faced with another print problem.
This time, printing to printer just queues print jobs.

Thanks for quoting the entire post just to add 2 lines about a
completely different problem (with almost no details).

Did you particularly enjoy scrolling down all this way?  I know I did.

And you doing the same was meant as punishment for the rest of the audience?

I have an HP Laser Jet CP1025nw color and it would not work in Ubuntu 
11.10. Ubuntu 11.10 ships with HPLIP 3.11.7 and kept asking for a driver 
plugin at boot up time. Trying to download and install the driver plugin 
kept giving me a "driver plugin file does not match it's digital 
signature" error message.

I did some digging and found the above web site that shows you how to 
install the latest HPLIP 3.11.10 and the driver plugin. It is the manual 
install. I could not get the auto install script to work. After doing 
this, my laser jet printer works fine.

Thanks, I will check to see whether that will fix things.  It used to print 
fine.

The Release Notes did not mention my printer (LaserJet 4100).
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/release_notes.html

But, the following link ...
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_4100_series.html
also lead me to your link ...
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/ubuntu.html
so I tried ...

Running "uname -m" outputs "x86_64" so I took the 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 path.

Now, I am stuck on Step 8: "Configuring your printer using hp-setup"

Running "sudo hp-setup" and choosing Ethernet did not find any printers.
[My parallel printer is connected to an old Win98SE system on a small wired 
network.]

So, I am trying CUPS, which gives me the creeps.    :-)
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/step4/cups/net.html

I am using Printer Sharing via a Win98SE print server and do not know how to 
proceed.

Win98 would be a Print Share and you'd be using NetBIOS over IP.
Have you thought about installing a HP Print Server like a JetDirect 610N or using an 
external Print Server.  This way the printer is not dependent upon W98 and will print 
directly to the printer via TCP/IP.

Thanks, yes, I have tried a used external print server,
which might have been defective.  So,
I'm still looking for a good print server.
It's been on my list of things to do.  Not sure I want to
get a JetDirect print server, the one in my printer does not work.
And, JetDirect reviews are less than stellar.

Okay, I went out and bought a brand new TRENDnet print server.
And, like the used one, it still takes down the network.  This time,
I used Firestarter to dig further.  Firestarter blocked the following event 
...

PORT = 67
SOURCE = 0.0.0.0        [the culprit ?]
PROTOCOL = UDP
SERVICE = DHCP

Wouldn't the above event conflict with some routers [192.168.0.xxx]?

And, the following event ...

PORT = <blank>
SOURCE = 192.168.0.xxx        [valid print server IP address not shown]
PROTOCOL = ICMP
SERVICE = Unknown        [the culprit ?]

Firestarter Preferences has ICMP Filtering enabled with ALL options checked.

Any ideas?

I have two JetDirects (200M & 300x) on my SOHO LAN and I have managed ~140 printers with a 
wide variety internal or external JetDirect units.  Just looking on my shelf I have two 
300x,a 610N and 615N ready to be used.  Albeit it isn't HP but, I even have a MPI 
BlueTooth printer server.  I know print servers and I can state emphatically that *any* 
JetDirect reviews that indicate they are less than stellar is not true.  But will admit 
they are more expensive.

TCP Port is BootPS and is often used in conjunction with TFTP to both assign an IP and 
configure the Print Server.  It is the predecessor of DHCP and thus when the the print 
server annonces I have IP 0.0.0.0 with a provided MAC address via TCP port 67 it is 
requesting a DHCP server to assign it an address.  If you are using a SOHO Router chances 
are high the Router is at 192.168.1.1 and that Router is the DHCP Server and you are not 
allowing the TRENDnet to get an IP assigned to it by the Router.  If you have the ability 
to configure TRENDnet out-of-band (such as a Serial port) you can use that approach to 
statically set the TCP/IP stack.  Otherwise you will have to allow the TRENDnet to get an 
IP assigned to it by the Router.

That's right, since most suggestions have been to use static (not dynamic) 
IP address.
Should I use DHCP instead now ?

You lost me here.  I'll have to look into this.

Thanks, the TRENDnet print server has been "manually" assigned an IP address 
that
is just outside and before (less than) the DHCP server's IP address range.

I followed this link ...
http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wired-Routers/BEFSR41-DHCP-reservation/td-p/283377

So, I am confused why the print server is still asking for an IP address 
from DHCP server.

What am I missing?

I don't know what Router you are using or what you have done.

If the Router has a BootP capability then you must know the MAC address of the Print 
Server and enter it and the assigned IP into an address table on the Router.  Thus when 
the print server announces it has an IP 0.0.0.0 with a provided MAC address, the Router 
compares the MAC address to the assigment list and then dishes out the IP address from 
that table.

It is MUCH easier to let the TRENDnet use DHCP and get an IP address.  Then you can look 
at the Router's assigment table and you can either HTTP or Telnet into the Print Server 
and statically set the IP address to that address or a different address.  Note that if a 
node has a statically set IP address within the DHCP assigment range then it will be 
skipped when assigning addresses for other devcices.  Persomnally I reserve the the first 
25 IP addresses to static assigments (example:  192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.25 ) and the DHCP 
server can dish out the rest (example:  192.168.1.26 ~ 192.168.1.254 ).

In one office I managed, we had numerous licenses of the Hummingbird eXceed TCP/IP suite. 
I setup a BootP/TFTP Server.  In it I had all the MAC address and IP assigment table and 
text files for each HP JetDirect that had a firmware that can use BootP/TFTP.  When the 
JetDirect was powered-up, it would get an IP address via BootP and then use TFTP to get 
and interpret the text file which told the Print Server what all its settings were so I 
didn't have to manually confgure each and every one via telnet or HTTP.

When it comes to TCP/IP capable applliances, there are two ways to configure them. 
In-band and out-of-band.  In-band configuration would be through a networking protocol. 
Out-of-band configuration would be done via a serial or other port.  Then using a Terminal 
Emulation software, you would connect something like a notebook via a serial cable to the 
appliance and use VT100 Terminal Emulation to setup the TCP/IP stack and any/all other 
settings.

Thanks (Guru Dave), the TRENDnet print server works great now.
Turns out I was using both shared ports (Uplink & Port 1) on the router. 
Stupid me !
