[Bug 192176] Re: Scanner output always JPEG compressed

2009-05-14 Thread David Suffield
scanimage -h

Usage: scanimage [OPTION]...

Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write PNM image data to
standard output.

Parameters are separated by a blank from single-character options (e.g.
-d epson) and by a "=" from multi-character options (e.g. --device-name=epson).
-d, --device-name=DEVICE   use a given scanner device (e.g. hp:/dev/scanner)
--format=pnm|tiff  file format of output file
-i, --icc-profile=PROFILE  include this ICC profile into TIFF file
-L, --list-devices show available scanner devices
-f, --formatted-device-list=FORMAT similar to -L, but the FORMAT of the output
   can be specified: %d (device name), %v (vendor),
   %m (model), %t (type), and %i (index number)

--compression None|JPEG [JPEG]
Selects the scanner compression method for faster scans, possibly at
the expense of image quality.
--jpeg-quality 0..100 [10]
Sets the scanner JPEG compression factor. Larger numbers mean better
compression, and smaller numbers mean better image quality.
--batch-scan[=(yes|no)] [no]

2008-09-10 Thread David Suffield
I don't want to make changes to hpijs.drv that only work on CUPS 1.4.
This would be problematic supporting older distros.

There are two possible options for CustomPageSize attribute.

1. *CustomPageSize True: "pop pop pop pop pop FoomaticRIPOptionSetting:
PageSize=Custom"

2. *CustomPageSize True: "pop pop pop <>setpagedevice"

Since #1 is not needed by foomatic-rip, what apps currently need option
#1?

Is not option #2 more standard?

[Bug 214234] Re: Improvements for LIDIL printers urgently needed

2008-05-05 Thread David Suffield
This sounds like a feature request not a bug. Correct?

All the print modes for single pen or two pen printing are available in
the ppd file for LIDIL printers. Depending on the printer and the
installed pens the default print mode may not be correct, but the user
can make the correct selection manually when ppd options are presented.

Adding a "Black Cartridge Installed" option to the ppd file and then
constraining the print modes based the installed option is a good idea.

In the near future we plan on supporting the native CUPS ppd files so we
will consider this feature request for LIDIL printers then.

With native CUPS ppds the Resolution, Print Quality and Installed Pens

Bastan, can you post a postscript file that you are having problems
with. Also post the gs command from the CUPS error_log with DEBUG on.
This will allow us to reproduce and analyze the problem.

[Bug 162016] Re: cups printjobs unload /dev/usblp0

2007-11-12 Thread David Suffield
Sorry, HPLIP uses libusb/usbfs instead of usblp. Libusb uses the
"/dev/bus/usb/xxx/xxx" device node instead of the "/dev/usblp0" device
node.

Since usblp and libusb cannot claim the the same usb device, any HPLIP
device I/O usage (ie: scanning, printing or faxing) will remove usblp
from the "/dev/usblp0" device node.

If you are using CUPS this means in general you should always use the
HPLIP's "hp" backend (ie: "hp:/usb/...") instead of the standard CUPS
"usb" backend (ie: "usb://...").

The "hp" backend will always use the libusb device node. If you try to
use the "usb" backend the "/dev/usblp0" device node may not be
available.

Currently hal_lpadmin calls hp-info and hp-probe which are io intensive
and will interfere with hp-firmware download for the LJ1018 and LJ1020.
Because of this interference HAL will not see these printers at plug-in-
play time and disable the print queue.

The hp-info and hp-probe calls in hal_lpadmin should be replaced with
the hp-makeuri call. The udev sysfile information will provide the usb
"bus" and "device" information necessary for the "hp-makeuri bbb:ddd"
command. Hp-makeuri will return a valid HPLIP uri if the usb device is
supported by HPLIP.

Hp-makeuri is a light weight call that has very little io overhead. The
hp-makeuri command will not interfere with the hp-firmware download.

[Bug 181242] Re: [Hardy]HP printer is not detected properly by HPLIP

2008-01-11 Thread David Suffield
Ok I looked at a Hardy system.

You need to update your version of 55-hpmud.rules file with the latest
the 55-hpmud.rules in the hplip 2.7.12 tar ball. I know Ubuntu uses a
modified hpmud.rules file which is ok, but your copy is out-of-date. I
have made some udev changes since the "usb_device" name has changed in
the latest kernel.

I have a attached an updated 55-hpmud.rules file that should work.

Also you can remove the 45-hplip.rules file since it is redundant with
55-hpmud.rules file installed.

[Bug 59409] Re: Fax PPD not installed by default

2007-12-05 Thread David Suffield
Till,
hp-setup should be using the "ppd" key value pair in hplip.conf to determine 
were the HP-Fax-hplip.ppd directory is. The "ppd" key value is set by the hplip 
configure time option "--with-hpppddir". The "--with-hpppdir" is where the 
Fax-hplip.ppd file is installed at "make install" time.

If hp-setup is searching at /usr/lib/hplip/fax/HP-Fax-hplip.ppd, but
your package  actually installed at /usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP/HP-Fax-
hplip.ppd.gz then I believe the hplip.conf was set incorrectly.

To resolve this problem, you should set "--with-
hpppdir=/usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP" at hplip configure time. This will
reflect where your package actually puts the fax ppd file.

2008-03-27 Thread David Suffield
You do not need explicit usb-pids for HP printer products. You can
determine if the udev event is a HP printer product by performing a
wild-card compare on the idProduct. See 55-hpmud.rules file.

I am not a big fan of hal, but can't you write a hal fdi rule based on
wild-cards like you can with udev rules? If not this seems like a
problem with hal.

Till,
The "hp" backend creats no .hplip directory. 

Something (hal_lpadmin?) must be calling a hp-xxx command which probably
creates the .hplip directory at cups restart.

The commands hp-makeuri and hp-info are intended to be run by users
only. I would try to use the hp-mkuri command for system services.

The hp-mkuri is written in C and does not have the overhead of the
python based hp-xxx commands.
