My printer is a Deskjet 1660 and with Ubuntu 12.10 I began to use it. The only problem is when I tried to use the draft mode in order to save ink, the job cancels automatically. I don't know why. I need help.
Thanks
When will hplip support ubuntu 12.10?
Here is one of the answers:
Hi, Ubuntu 12.10 will be supported in our next release of HPLIP which migh happen in couple of weeks time or so.
As a temporary workaround, please
- Download HPLIP-3.12.10a (e.g to
~/Downloads
)- Open Terminal and go to
~/Downloads/hplip-3.12.10a
- Open
~/Downloads/hplip-3.12.10a/installer/distros.dat
and then replace "12.04" with "12.10"./install.py
(this will start the auto installer)=> Reconfigure print queue with the commands in the terminal mentioned below.
=>system-config-printer
(remove all print queues)
=>su -c "hp-plugin"
(This will download right plugin)
=>hp-setup
(It should not be run in a root mode. This command is adding print queue, make sure you select ppd name having "-ps" or "hpcups" substring)
=> Try printing now.
