I then logged into the root account and was presented with the list of printers. I clicked the Add Printer button and it switched me to the HTTPS web interface. I then tried to set up the printer on my own using the CUPS web interface listening on port 631. I uninstalled webmin at this point because I didn't need it, and I decided I wasn't going to follow that guide with incorrect information.Ģ. I started to notice problems in the instructions - /etc/rc.d/cups was actually /etc/rc.d/cupsd, /etc/nf was actually /etc/cups/nf, and webmin didn't actually add anything to the nf file. Everything installed smoothly, and I configured CUPS and webmin to allow access to other computers on the network.

I installed all the packages mentioned except for cups-pdf, since I didn't need print to PDF support. I didn't really want to use webmin, but I did it anyway so that I could follow the guide.

I first found this article on the Arch Linux ARM website on how to set up a CUPS printer. I'll try to include exact error messages and logs where necessary.ġ. I'm now going to be installing all of the packages again and documenting everything that I have been trying to do to get it to work. I just removed all of the printing packages from my system and any extra files that were left behind.

I'm going to explain in this post some of the many things that I've tried so far. I ended up spending a total of nearly ten hours trying to get the printer to print with CUPS, and it's still not working after all that work. I ended up reading hundreds of forum posts, wiki articles, and CUPS/hplip tutorials to try to figure out how to properly set it up. It wouldn't be able to display a list of drivers, HP's setup utility encountered an error adding it, and it threw various errors when I tried to print test pages. Unfortunately, I could not get CUPS to work with my printer correctly.

Setting up CUPS was one of the first things that I wanted to do after reinstalling, since my family depends on the network printing functionality almost daily. (Yes, it was stupid of me not to test my backup.) I thought I had a backup image of the drive, but it didn't work when I tried to restore it. That meant losing all of the working versions and configuration files each application I had installed, including CUPS.

The drive I was running Arch Linux ARM on became corrupt, so I had to install a fresh copy of the operating system. The versions that I was using had to have been at least one to two years old.Įverything was working very smoothly. I never upgraded CUPS or hplip because those versions worked fine, and I didn't want to break anything avoid breaking anything. I previously had CUPS set up to share my printer with my home network, using hplip for the printer driver. My printer is the HP Deskjet F4480, which is part of the HP Deskjet F4400 series. I'm running Arch Linux ARM on my Seagate DockStar, a small ARM-based "plug computer" that I use as a home server. I cannot get my HP Deskjet F4400 set up with CUPS, and all the solutions I've tried don't work. Tl dr This 1,646 word post describes my frustration with CUPS and hplip.
