I'm also getting the 40 EIO BAD TRANSMISSION error on Laserjet 4000N in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS using the HP LaserJet 4000 Series Postscript (recommended) driver. This is caused by the HPLIP hp: backend, since switching the connection to AppSocket/HP JetDirect (socket:) works. You can verify the backend used by checking the Device URI/Connection and the driver used by checking Printer Make and Model/Driver in system-config-printer properties/cups webinterface.
But on maverick (hplip 3.10.6-1ubuntu10) it no longer seem to be a problem with the hp backend too. Adrian Johnson, Ruben Verweij or others, can you confirm? Risk-free testing without installation is possible with the maverick daily-live cd. ** Summary changed: - Error while printing with HP Laserjet: 40 EIO Transmission Error + Error while printing with HP Laserjet: 40 EIO Transmission Error with hp backend ** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Error while printing with HP Laserjet: 40 EIO Transmission Error with hp backend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229981 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
