Cannot print on HP LJ 1020 after latest hplip upgrade

Using -current 64-bit with the latest Plasma5.

After the latest ChangeLog with its hplip update, I can no longer print to my HP LaserJet 1020 printer.

The print queue window of Plasma5 complains: "Filter failed" on each stopped print job.

I know this printer requires a proprietary plugin. I reinstalled the plugin, to no avail.

Any tip or help would be welcome. Thanks in advance!

Reviewing the CUPS error log can be a useful first step for diagnosing such issues. Put CUPS into debug mode with
Code:
cupsctl —debug-logging
then send a print job and examine the error_log file.

For HPLIP dependency issues, ‘hp-check’ can be used to get a comprehensive report about missing or incompatible supporting libraries...
Code:
hp-check -t

BTW, which HPLIP version is now in use?

FWIW, some users have found that the foo2zjs driver is a better option for supporting this printer model. You can search these forums for threads on this topic.

Hpijs has failed for me for a while. If that's what you're using and hpcups is available as a driver, try that. I believe the Hpijs driver was failing in a Perl script somewhere.

I assumed that the OP is using the hpcups driver. That can be checked easily enough though...
Code:
egrep -i “name|model|filter /etc/cups/ppd/*

Thanks everyone. The pointers you gave me are worth pursuing. However, it's Saturday and the office where I have my printer is closed, so I cannot yet do any of your suggestions yet until Monday comes.

However, I discovered that cups has an error log in /var/log/cups. So I checked it and this is a typical log for a failed print job.

I don't understand most of it but this line caught my attention:

Code:
D [03/Aug/2018:13:04:23 -0400] [Job 354] HP_LaserJet_1020: error while loading shared libraries: libImageProcessor.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Does anyone has an idea of which package supplies that library?

Here is the log for a failed print job:

Code:

That library is supplied by the hplip package. According to post #1810 in the "Requests for -current" thread, Ivandi posted that the hplip package in current is broken. Here is the link to that post: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post5887706

Also read ponce's response to Ivandi's post, as he found an issue with the make script for hplip not respecting the DESTDIR variable.

Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem with a recent update with 14.2.
After the update, I couldn’t detect my network printer but I was able to connect to it by changing the driver. Now all is well.

Printer:
HP Officejet 4630 series
new driver
HP Officejet 4630 Series, hpcups 3.16.5

There's additional log entries indicating other problems beyond the one that you singled out, and the log snippet your shared is not complete for that job anyway. I recommend that you share it via https://pastebin.com/ and post the link that it provides here so that others can review further.

Back at the office here. Thanks for all the pointers. I have a hplip 3.18.6 ready in case none of this works.

Now, I don't know why should I search for this, since I was able to print without issues with hplip 3.18.6. The upgrade to 3.18.7 was the event who rendered my system unable to print.

BTW, I think this tool does not work properly. I left it and it stays there for a long time without any output. Running with the -g flag enabled tells me that it stalls here:

Code:
hp-check[8699]: debug: Searching for file 'cups.h' in '/usr/include'...
(cups.h is actually at /usr/include/cups/cups.h)

I put cups in debug mode and sent the printer a print job, which, obviously, failed.

The log is too long to be pasted here so I sent it to a pastebin:

Thanks!

Just to note that, after producing that log wth cups in debug mode, I have reverted to hplip-3.18.6 and I am able to print again. I await whatever hint which may help me in print under the updated hplip.

Stay with using the HPLIP version that works for now. The post that that JohnB316 linked to may be worth reviewing.

Ponce's patch worked for me, but the forum software replaced tabs with spaces, so sadly you can't just copy and paste it. I'm attaching the diff I used to rebuild hplip 3.18.7. YMMV. Thanks for the pointer @JohnB316 !
