I use wheezy 7.8 .
When the message "Unable to send data to printer" appears,
I guess the command

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart 

or

Code: Select all

sudo service cups restart 

would suffice.

But,I want to make a script which can set up HP_Photosmart_5520
for the cases of clean installations.
The situation is as I reported at
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=120196
The lpadmin command doesn't work as I expected,
because I don't know the location of the ppd file of hp-photosmart_5510d.
(The ppd file of hp-photosmart_5510d matches HP_Photosmart_5520 best.)

Code: Select all

$ sudo lpadmin -p HP_Photosmart_5520_setup -E -v "usb://HP/Photosmart%205520%20series?serial=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&interface=1" -P drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-photosmart_5510d_series.ppd
lpadmin: Unable to open PPD file "drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-photosmart_5510d_series.ppd" - No such file or directory 
$ sudo lpadmin -p HP_Photosmart_5520_setup -E -v "usb://HP/Photosmart%205520%20series?serial=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&interface=1" -P /usr/share/ppd/hplip/HP/HP-Fax1-hpcups.ppd

Well, I don't know about you but I always think of cups regarding printing, you know,the software that does run the show.

On my Debian sid, which we all know can not be trusted for one femtosecond, my printer driver is located at:

Code: Select all

/etc/cups/ppd

Who knows where that "wheezy" thing may put it.

I haven't noticed your post.
Very sorry for the delay of the reply.

Today I tried.
I saved manualy by

Code: Select all

cp /etc/cups/ppd/HP_Photosmart_5520_series-main.ppd ~/Desktop/HP_Photosmart_5520-main.ppd

After deleting the printer,

Code: Select all

$ sudo cupsreject printername
$ sudo cupsdisable printername
$ sudo lpadmin -x printername 

I execute

Code: Select all

$ sudo lpadmin -p HP_Photosmart_5520_setup -E -v "usb://HP/Photosmart%205520%20series?serial=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&interface=1" -P ~/Desktop/HP_Photosmart_5520-main.ppd

I succeeded in printing by this HP_Photosmart_5520_setup !
The key is saving the ppd file after setting-up the printer once.
