I would appreciate help with solutions as to why I cannot print to a HP network Printer HP2605dn
The printer can be accessed on the network but Endeavour OS will not find or print to it.
My troubleshooting so far is as follows
I have a new Endeavour OS installation for which I included CUPS and HP printers and believe that I have followed the Endeavour OS Guide Network, Printers “discovery.endeavouros.com/printers/printers/2021/03/”
The print-manager is installed, the cups service is enabled, nss-mdns is installed, the avahi-daemon service is running, the nsswitch.conf file shows the correct entry.
I have also installed hplip and running sudo hp-setup -i will not find a network printer
From the KDE System Settings, Printers, I attempt to add/set up a printer connection, and an error message is displayed “Unable to automatically discover any printing devices”
I can manually set up a printer by entering the Internet Printing Protocol address, selecting a HP 2605dn Printer and choosing the “HP-Color_LaserJet_2605dn-Postscript.ppd” driver that I have used successfully with Manjaro.
When I click on the printer that I have just added, it correctly displays the levels for each toner cartridge showing that it is communicating with the printer
When I select Print a Test Page, nothing happens
At the bottom of the Printers page, clicking on Printers/Device Admin Page opens a web page with the printer’s network address and I can access all of the printer Staus, Settings, and Network information showing that the printer is being seen on the local network
When I click on the Configure Printer Server at the top of the Printer page, it shows a CUPS Server Settings dialog and clicking on the CUPS Print Server Admin will show a web page with localhost:631/admin address
Selecting Printers Managing Printers shows the web page localhost:631/printers/? that includes the manually setup printer but with the error message
“HP2605dn HP Color LaserJet 2605 Foomatic/Postscript Processing - “The printer may not exist or is unavailable at this time.””
Is there a printer service that I am missing?
