I am trying to get a HP Deskjet D1320 to work on my system I have gotten
CUPS to see it but when I try to print a test page I always get
foomatic-rip failed. Any ideas on what's going on here? Oh it's a USB
printer but I guess that is appearent in the subject.

To avoid wild-goose chases, we need to first establish what steps you've
taken to get to where you are now. Did you follow a guide? If so, which?

What to say?
Since you have a HP printer, you may be interested in the hplip package.
I needed this one otherwise my prints were about 2 lines of unreadable
letters on a whole bunch of sheets.
And there is a good printing guide on www.gentoo.org Look it up.

cheers,

OK for the most part I followed the How-To on the Gentoo site. I have
rechecked several times to be sure that I have my kernel configured and
built properly. Installed CUPS and did the printer setup. On my first
attempt Cups told me I didn't have a printer installed. I re-emerged CUPS
and foomatic, it then saw my printer.

Description: HP Deskjet D1320
Location: Computer stand
Make and Model: HP DeskJet 1220C Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: usb://HP/Deskjet%20D1300%20series?serial=TH66Q1210M04SN

This is the display that CUPS gives for my setup.

Now I see I have a new challange, when I tell it to print a test page I
get a display that says Quota limit reached. Grrrrr.

According to <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml>, you need
to emerge hplip. Did you do this?

Why on earth are you using the DeskJet 1220C driver?

No I didn't catch that but am doing it now.

Cuz it's the closest thing to 1320 I saw in the drivers, can you recommend
a better one? I have been using an old HP DJ 500 for years this is the
first USB printer I have tried and when I didn't notice a spicific driver
grabbed what I thought would be the closest (most likely) to work.

I am going to go through those docs and see what else I may have missed.

<http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/inkjet.html> lists the HP
D1360 - that may be a closer fit. If not, then have a look at
<http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_D1300>.

Either way, it still uses hplip.

My steps were:

1. Recompile kernel with usblp support. See:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HPLIP or
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml
2. #emerge -DNuva hplip
2a. From memory, I think I followed the Gentoo printing guide and did
some minor tweak of the config file. The end of the cups ebuild will
tell you what to do as well.
3. #rc-update add cupsd default
3a. Start it with: #/etc/init.d/cupsd start
4. #rc-update add hplip default
4a. Start it with: #/etc/init.d/hplip start
5. In a browser, go to http://localhost:631/
6. Configure the printer via the web interface - CUPS should detect it.
I think there's plenty of suggestions from this thread as to which one
you should choose, or at least some sites you can read up on.
6a. The print test page from the CUPS web interface works. The one from
the gnome-cups-manager doesn't and spits out the foomatic-rip error. I
didn't attempt to solve it as I have printing (and printing over the
network working)...

HTH,

Just wanted to post a follow up, I got this problem solved when I found my
printer listed in a newer version of hplip, it was the testing version,
the printer works great now.
