When a udev event occurs (i.e., a USB plug-and-play event), this rules file will be invoked. In this file there is a rule for every HP product recognized by HPLIP. To solve this device permissions problem, HPLIP installs the udev rule /etc/udev/rules.d/les. These applications will not see the device without proper permissions. Usually this is not be a problem for printing, but it is a problem for scanning and the hp-toolbox. This means ordinary users do not have access to the device. Most distributions set the default device permissions to root. If HPLIP built and installs correctly, you need to check device permissions. configure -prefix=/usr -disable-foomatic-drv-install -enable-foomatic-ppd-install -with-hpppddir=/usr/share/cups/model Use this example for a static PPD install.

The following example is a dynamic PPD install which is the default. Dynamic PPD files will call foomatic-rip. Dynamic PPD install with no foomatic-rip-hplip - Intended for distros that have the latest foomatic-rip.Dynamic PPD files will call foomatic-rip-hplip. Dynamic PPD install with foomatic-rip-hplip - Intended for distros that do not have the latest foomatic-rip.

The user must manually create new HPIJS PPDs with the CUPS DDK by running "ppdc prnt/drv/hpijs.drv" before "make install".

Static PPD install with no foomatic-rip-hplip and new HPIJS PPDs must be created - Intended for distros that have the latest foomatic-rip.

The user must manually change the *cupsFilter line from foomatic-rip-hpijs to foomatic-rip for all HPIJS PPDs before "make install".

Static PPD install with no foomatic-rip-hplip and HPIJS PPDs must be modified - Intended for distros that have the latest foomatic-rip.

Installs precompiled HPIJS PPDs included in the tar ball.

Static PPD install with foomatic-rip-hplip - Intended for distros that do not have the latest foomatic-rip.

The following configure time options are valid for dynamic PPD install and static PPD install. The following command displays the CUPS version. Generally CUPS 1.2 uses dynamic PPD file creation. The dynamic PPD install works with CUPS systems that use dynamic PPD file creation. Postscript PPDs and fax PPDs are pre-built. Currently only HPIJS PPDs are built-on-the-fly. The dynamic PPD install will install all necessary files for dynamic PPD file creation at runtime. There are two major install configurations - dynamic PPD install and static PPD install. The foomatic-rip-hplip was built from dated. Since the static PPDs included in the tar ball are not compatible with older versions of foomatic-rip, we included a copy of the latest foomatic-rip called foomatic-rip-hplip. Unfortunately drv generated PPDs are only compatible with the latest foomatic-rip. CUPS drv support provides more PPD options, faster PPD file generation, and a smaller footprint than the foomatic database.

CUPS drv support provides dynamic and static PPD file support similar to the foomatic database. The CUPS DDK allows us to support the hpijs/ghostscript/foomatic-rip driver. All HPIJS PPD files are generated from a CUPS drv file called hpijs.drv.ĬUPS drv support is part of the CUPS DDK at. There are HPIJS PPD files, postscript PPD files and fax PPD files. Each print job has an associated PPD file and each HP printer has a unique PPD file.

PPD files are used to specifiy driver and driver parameters.

For more detailed install instructions see Installation Instructions. This section assumes all System Requirements have been met and any pre-existing HPLIP install uses the same "./configure -prefix=/usr" parameters.

Most users do not need to build from source code and should get the latest HPLIP package from their distribution. This information is useful for package maintainers and users who want to build and install HPLIP from the source tar ball. This section documents different configuration options that are available and some caveats for building HPLIP on different distributions and platforms. GNU Autotools simplify most portability issues automatically, but some customization may be desirable. HPLIP uses GNU Autotools for building and installing.
