Why? Just Why?
Why? Just Why?
Good work. I tried to do similarly with a HP CP1025nw (roughly 10 years old), which has become unreliable with Windows 11. But although I connected the printer to the Pi (I used a model 3B) with a USB cable, CUPS does not appear to see the “usb://…” connection string. CUPS does allow me to connect to the printer wirelessly, with a connection string that begins “dnssd://…”.
So I have it working wirelessly but I was hoping to get it using USB since I suspect that would be more reliable.
I’m wondering why your Pi allows the “usb://…” method, but mine does not.
Reading today that the indictment/summons has now been served on him.
The Arizona prosecutor’s office has been trying and failing to serve indictment paperwork on him for the election interference case in that state. Lying low it would seem.
nice work
Quite a run. I didn’t know Zilog was even still in existence under the same name, albeit part of a bigger company. Still remember learning assembler on a TRS-80 Model II with one of these in it.
International phone calls. Actually long distance domestic phone calls too.
YouTube has been blocking me for a couple of months now, with one or two short breaks. I have Firefox and uBlock Origin. Even after I whitelisted YouTube, the blocking continues.
I flinched reflexively when the thing flipped over. Maybe it was no longer dangerous by then.
Fraud in China. Huh.
I have been getting logged out of the Wordle game site about every 2nd or 3rd day for the last month.
The thing I remember is the thrill of realizing how.much.stuff. was out there (even though by current standards it was tiny). There was a repository hosted by WUSTL.EDU that had a ton of software source code, binaries and other stuff; you could submit requests to it by e-mail and back would come your files uuencoded, split across multiple e-mail messages. You had to cobble the pieces back together before you could decode it.
Thanks. I have hplip installed on my Pi (version 3.21.2) and my printer is listed as being supported on the hplip support page. That page says Support Level is “Full” and Connectivity is “USB, Network”. So it seems that this should work; also the printer works fine over USB to my Windows laptops.
hplip seems to provide a number of command line commands with names like hp-probe and hp-firmware. I have not been able to get any of them to work over USB though; usually they return a message “Warning: No devices found on the ‘usb’ bus”.
Do you mean that “proprietary firmware” is needed to make the printer work with Linux?
