What type of HP device are you trying to set up? Is it connected to a parallel port or a USB port? If it's connected to a parallel port, is the "parallel" service activated for your computer? Also, is CUPS (aka Common Unix Printing System) selected to be one of the services that loads at boot time? CUPS and HPLIP work together, in that HPLIP provides the driver for your device to CUPS, which in turn does the dirty work of communicating with your printer.
A quick and easy way to see whether the CUPS service is loaded is to open a terminal and type "htop" (without the quotes) at the prompt. Htop lists the processes that are running. If you see /usr/sbin/cupsd, then the CUPS service is running. If the CUPS service is not running, then you'll need to activate it. To do this, click on the Start button and select vasm -> SUPER (type the root account password when prompted) -> SERVICE -> SRVSET -> 2, 3, 4, 5. Ensure that CUPS is selected. If it isn't, then click on the check box next to the word "CUPS" to select it for each run level you might use.
If you need to activate a parallel port, use vasm -> SUPER (type the root account password when prompted) -> SERVICE -> HWSET -> parallel.
HTH some. Post again if you need more help.
Thanks,
John

It's been a while since I used a local printer with hplip, but I do remember having to use hp-makeuri to first create the connection to the printer.

To add to nightflier's reply, I believe that hp-makeuri and hp-setup need to be run as root to enable the devices to be created.
HTH,
John

tried that..
Notes:
1. Example using 'lsusb' to obtain USB bus ID and USB device ID (example only, the values you obtain will differ) :
$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 011: ID 03f0:c202 Hewlett-Packard
$ hp-makeuri 003:011
(Note: You may have to run 'lsusb' from /sbin or another location. Use '$ locate lsusb' to determine this.)

This is the first time I've had this problem with hp-setup.

Can anyone help with this? Not being able to use my printer is a bit of a showstopper. It was working on 5.8. Can anyone verify that "hp-setup" works for them?

I've just downloaded and tried the 5.9 live disc and it's got the same problem. The problem is specific to vector 5.9. Iw ould like to use 5.9 but can't because I can't print any help would be welcome.

I think you will need HPLIP version 2.7.9 at least to support the Photosmart 8200.
I will be setting up a Photosmart C6280 on VL 5.8 soon.

 I don't know if my addition to this thread is prudent, but I never had to run any of the commands you mention. And I've gotten my HP all-in-one to work on any distro without fail. Have you looked at localhost:631 yet?? That should bring you to a menu for setting up your printer. It's automagical. |

I tried to Cups interface & the printer is not there. Could someone please type "hp-setup" as root on ANY version of 5.9 and tell me what happens. I've used Mint, Fedora, Mandriva & Pclinuxos in the last two months with this printer with no problems.

Yes it is - at least on my machine running the same system as you - VL5.9, I see HP PhotoSmart 8200 in the drop down list for HP printers. Try again: 1) in your browser address bar go to http://localhost:6312) you should see the CUPS page 3) make sure your printer is properly connected and turned on 3) click "Add Printer" 4) type in any appropirate Name, Location, Description (can be anything you desire) 5) Continue and choose the Device (usually if it is a USB printer you will see the printer under the first USB port) 6) Continue, choose Make "HP" , Continue 7) choose model from list, then "Add Printer" ...., |

I've used Mint, Fedora, Mandriva & Pclinuxos in the last two months with this printer with no problems. I get the same error as you. So I started hpiod as root in a terminal, tried again and got another error: Unable to connect to HPLIP I/O (hpssd).
error: Unable to connect to HPLIP I/O. Please (re)start HPLIP and try again. There doesn't seem to be a hpssd binary on vl 5.9 though. If I recall correctly, in 5.8 it was possible to start both these daemons through VASM. |

Well, I had issues with HPLIP in 5.8 as well. And to be frank, my 5.9 machine doesn't recognize my printer either.
It's not difficult to solve though. In 5.8 it was a matter of seconds. Click_here, Click_there, Done.
But if one where not to know where to click.... it would be another matter. What lagagnon posted is how I remember it. In 5.8 I needed an extra step or three, four. But my 5.9 machine also needs to be able to print. So I'll post back my findings. It'll not be difficult. I just don'tknow it by heart.

And to be frank, my 5.9 machine doesn't recognize my printer either. *Shame* Human error. I guess we have a little false negative on our hands here. I effortlessly configured my HP Photosmart C4180 through the browser interface on my 5.9 machine, yet when I did the hp-setup command it gave: root:# hp-setup

error: Unable to connect to HPLIP I/O. Please (re)start HPLIP and try again. Trivia: Even though this erroneous output, my printer works. I saw the HP Photosmart 8200 listed in the list of supported printers I can confirm that I have never, not once, needed to run hp-setup before. _______ I'm not sure why this isn't working for you. I assume you have tried /Administration/Find_printer and /Administration/Manage_printers? |
