Fix for printing to HP LaserJet P1005 in 2.5.0.2
Posted: 31 Jul 2012, 06:00
Hi,
When I tried to print to my HP LaserJet P1005 printer in 2.5.0.2 nothing was printed and no error message was shown i the log. It looked like every job was printed ok, but nothing came to the printer over USB.
I found this solution on the internet that I like to share, it may apply to other HP printers as well.
Log in to b3 using ssh. As root do the following commands:
1. apt-get install python-gobject
2. hp-plugin -i
3. choose to install plugin.
After that printing worked for me at least!
