CUPS printing - HP Deskjet 2543

nasstor · 16. Juli 2016

I have the CUPS pluigin installed, but Is there a way the CUPS drivers can be upgraded?

My system (OMV 2.2.5 Stoneburner) includes the latest updates (incl dist-upgrade), but the CUPS drivers are at version 3.12.6, and so are the hplip drivers.
My printer, a HP Deskjet 2543, is supported from version 3.14.6 (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/release_notes.html)

Is there a way to make OMV to install a more recent version of CUPS/hplip?

Thank you guys

Any ideas, or should I wait for OMV 3.0?

I would wait for OMV 3.0 since it should have more printer drivers.

Why are you using cups when your printer is a network printer already?

Thank you ryacoaaron,
It's a USB/WIFI printer (http://support.hp.com/us-en/pr…85257/document/c03811750/) so no ethernet connection.
Can't wait for "Erasmus"

Hi,

Raising this one from the dead...
I basically got this HP DeskJet 1110 (most basic printer you can think of) for free and since I have the occasional need to print paper forms I thought "great I'll just install CUPS on my OMV box (2.2.13) and call it a day".
Well it requires hplip 3.15.7...

I checked the Debian packages and 3.16.9 is available in the Jessie backports... so when OMV 3 is out of beta and I upgrade I should be able to enable the backports and install the driver from there (And afterward disable the backports, right? I have never used the backports before...).

Also noticed that CUPS was on the abandoned plugins list... so I guess might just as well install it from the CLI.
