aerogate Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) Hi there, I have a HP Laserjet P1505, it works, but only after I issue commands.... su hp-plugin which is python script that downloads a plugin, creates some symlinks and updates firmware. but each time I reboot Mandriva 2009 I need to repeat the above steps to initialise the printer. any ideas for a workaround to stop me having to do this each reboot?

daniewicz Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 If you are a KDE user, you could create a script file with the needed commands and place it in .kde/Autostart Your script file would look like this: #!/bin/bash # hp-plugin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerogate Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks for reply! Unfortunatly hp-plugin opens up a user agreement with box you need to tick to continue :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Unfortunatly hp-plugin opens up a user agreement with box you need to tick to continue :( Well I do not know how to deal with that. There are some knowledgeable people on this board, let's see if we get any more responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Is there some reason why you are not using the hplip, hplip-hpijs, and foomatic-db-hpijs packages from the official Mandriva repos? I only ask because they should support your printer without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerogate Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Solved!!! I removed hplip packages and cups, then re-installed them, printer now works each boot :) I guess it must have been a problem whilst upgrading from 2008.1 to 2009 as hplip and cups were already installed.

aerogate Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Happy days!!! yeah very pleased it works now :) Apart from the printer needs to be powered on before I boot Mandriva, or it wont work, but I can live with that!
