Unfortunately, the one I ordered is too long so it doesn’t fit.īoth Centronics and Mini-Centronics are 36-pin. I need to have it set to the correct driver.My printer has a 36 pin parallel port, so that’s what I ordered from Amazon.
#HP LASERJET 1100 PRINTER CABLE DRIVER#
However, if I go the CUPS web interface and hit manage printers the driver is listed as the following:

Now the problem is that I can not add my printer via the system-config-printer. This is an ugly workaround which works if you have only one printer (the one with the adapter cable) on USB.

That you cannot print at all is a bug of the "hal" CUPS backend. In general you have to run system-config-printer and manually choose manufacturer and model. Therefore system-config-printer and hal-cups-utils automatically assign the text-only printer to the unknown device. The device is recognized as printer, but there is no information about manufacturer and model. Your USB-to-parallel adapter does not pass through the printer ID. I hit OK and attempted to readd it without the space and now the option for HP Printer is no longer available and additionally there is now a noticable hang / lag when I click Add Printer before the options show up. CUPS spit out an error saying that spaces in printer names were not allowed. I tried to do that but I put a space in the name of my printer. I was thinking perhaps if I added it manually with the DeviceURI under that it would work. now the two options under Add Printer HP Printer and HP Scanner are no longer available under Local Printers. I have tried using Bus and Device ID from lsusb to manually add it in hp-setup and that does not work either.ĮDIT: Weird. I have tried to setup the printer using hp-setup it does not detect my printer. The dialog is no longer greyed out and the printer is listed as Idle under the CUPS manage printer interface but however if try and print the printer just spits out blank pages after blank pages until I go into the CUPS manage job interface and cancel the job manually. Info LaserJet-1100-CUPS+Gutenprint-v5.2.4 # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.4.0 Unplugging and repluggin my printer gives me this msg in dmesg: If you have any other questions for me please shoot I have my printer hooked up via a mini parralel to USB cord. dmesg does output that it is detecting my printer. I have tried all the steps on the wiki and I can't seem to figure this one out. Funny thing is I just now remember I had a similiar issue a few months back and I remembered now I fixed the queue issue just by unplugging the power to my printer and leaving it off for 5min then replugging it in. Well I tried to to that and got stuck on trying to re-add it. I did some googling and someone mention to remove the printer and re-add it. However, printing jobs would just stay in the queue and never print. At first when I moved my printer downstairs the CUPS web interface had my previous setup still there and had my printer detected / added. however now I can't get CUPS to detect or add my printer. I had it working perfectly a few weeks ago before the move. after a few weeks I decided to move my printer down and set it up.
