Hp Deskjet 5550 Driver For Macbook Pro

This package supports the following driver models:hp deskjet 5550 series.

Bernhard, While the HP Deskjet 5550 is not supported under Snow Leopard, there are many options you have to keep it working. First, you can use the drivers that came with the Leopard DVD. This will limit your options when printing from 64-bit applications, but the easy work around there is to print through Preview, and set Preview to always open in 32-bit mode. Option number 2 (a bit more complicated, and probably not the same quality of printing) would be to use the [HPIJS x/hpijs] drivers.

Option number 3 is the gutenprint drivers includes with the OS, but those will probably give you the least usability of the three options. Just trying to help. Andrew Nov 2, 2009 12:11 AM. Straight from the HP support site(after apology for not supporting 5+ year old printers): Included in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard are third party Gutenprint drivers that may provide basic print functionality. Gutenprint is a collection of open source printer software, including PostScript Printer Description files (PPDs), that is part of Mac OS X. It was formerly known as Gimp-Print.

When Mac OS X sets up a printer, it tries to locate the PPD file for the printer. If it cannot find the PPD file, you can use the Gutenprint PPD file. Please note that Gutenprint drivers are not supported by HP or Apple but may still provide basic print functionality. Nov 2, 2009 12:22 AM.

Is an excellent network storage solution simple enough for anyone to install. The system and space requirements are ridiculously small for this stripped-down version of. It's got all manner of features accessible through it's clean web GUI, more than most will ever need. It even lets you stream media to game consoles! Despite it's impressive built in abilities, there was one thing that I wanted it to do besides act as a great NAS, and that was to be a so I could share my among my Windows and Mac OSX boxes. Easier said than done.

After hours of playing around with CUPS and a few broken installs later, I saw the light. On the FreeNAS forums, user sgrizzi created a thread on with, using the package, for a based setup. It was EXTREMELY helpful, and he/she should get most of the credit, but the thread really needs to be condensed and clarified to be a useful guide. That is exactly what this Instructable is for, as well as modifying it for a standard full install of FreeNAS.

This guide assumes you already have a current standard install of FreeNAS set up and working. Step 1: Preparation. First, let's get together a few things and take a look at the setup. The Network Your setup may be different, but mine is as follows. - Linksys WRT54GL router running Tomato firmware v1.23 - FreeNAS box - v0.69, old Sony Vaio, 2 hard drives, static IP: 192.168.1.50 - PC - Windows XP SP3 - Macbook Pro - OSX 10.5.6 - HP Deskjet 6540 - USB connected printer, attached to FreeNAS You will need to assign your FreeNAS box a static internal IP from within your router. There's plenty of guides online for that, all straight-forward, so do a quick Googling. Stuff You'll Need - Windows install disk if you're using Windows (necessary files may be availible elsewhere, but this is the easiest) - Printer Drivers for your particular make/model - The file 'ulpt.ko' taken from a full FreeBSD install.

File attached to this instructable. - SSH client - For Windows, go with.

For Linux, Unix, Mac, etc you can just use the terminal/command line. Connect to your FreeNAS box via SSH. Normally it's bad practice to log in as root, but if you're really careful, things should go smoothly. PuTTy is pretty self explanatory here for connecting. For the command line people, type: ssh -l username static_ip_of_freenas The static ip will be something like 192.168.x.xxx. It will ask for a password, but when you type, nothing shows up.

Don't worry, this is normal (hides password for security purposes); just type it and hit enter. You should now have yourself a little greeting and a new command prompt (loggin in as root is freenas:~# and as a user is >) Step 3: Put Ulpt.ko in the Right Spot. Load ulpt.ko Module First we want to make sure that ulpt.ko loads on boot so as soon as we connect a printer it'll recognize it properly. Type: nano /boot/defaults/loader.conf Scroll down with either the arrow keys or ctrl+V until you reach a section titled 'USB Modules' Change the line 'ulpt_load=' NO' # Printer' to 'ulpt_load=' YES' # Printer' Hit ctrl+X. Then type 'y', and hit enter when it asks you to save. Start LPRng Navigate to the FreeNAS web interface in a browser.

Then go to System-->Advanced-->rc.conf Use the '+' button to add two new entries: Name: lpd_enable Value: NO Name: lprng_enable Value: YES Step 6: LPRng Configuration: 1 of 3 - Printcap. There are three main files that contribute to LPRng working properly. - /etc/printcap - /usr/local/etc/lpd.perms - /usr/local/etc/lpd.conf Printcap (location: /etc/printcap) can be very complex or very simple. We'll go with very simple, but you can refer to the LPRng site and google for some different setups depending on your needs. It'll be much easier to illustrate this by example: # @(#)printcap HP Deskjet 6540 lp deskjet::sd=/var/spool/lpd/bare::sh::lp=/dev/ulpt0: # First line doesn't matter much. Just put your printer make/model in there for reference - 'lp deskjet' - this is what you're printer will be known as.

'lp' is the primary name, 'deskjet' is an alias. - 'sd=' This is the path to the print spooler. We're going to make this directory in a second.

- 'sh' This stands for 'supress header'. If you've ever printed in a computer lab, you'll have seen these. It's a page that prints before a job that identifies who the job is for.

For most people at home, it's unnecessary. In a work environment with lots of people and printing, it's something you should look into. - 'lp=' this is the location of the printer.

If ulpt.ko loads properly, then when you connect a printer, it should register as /dev/ulpt0. Remember the spooler path from sd? Let's make it. Type: 'mkdir -p -m 700 /var/spool/lpd/bare' and 'chown 1:1 /var/spool/lpd/bare' This creates the proper directory with the necessary ownership and permissions.

Step 7: LPRng Configuration: 2 of 3 - Lpd.perms. Lpd.perms (location: /usr/local/etc/lpd.perms) is a bit long. The default configuration should be fine.

Scroll through and double check that these lines are uncommented (don't begin with a '#') by typing: nano /usr/local/etc/lpd.perms The lines that we want uncommented are: ACCEPT SERVICE=C SERVER REMOTEUSER=root,papowell ACCEPT SERVICE=C LPC=lpd,status,printcap REJECT SERVICE=C ACCEPT SERVICE=M SAMEHOST SAMEUSER ACCEPT SERVICE=M SERVER REMOTEUSER=root REJECT SERVICE=M DEFAULT ACCEPT Make any changes and then hit ctrl+X Step 8: LPRng Configuration: 3 of 3 - Lpd.conf. Lpd.conf (location: /usr/local/etc/lpd.perms) should also be fine as the default. Things to double check for: # Purpose: always print banner, ignore lpr -h option # default ab@ (FLAG off) # Purpose: query accounting server when connected # default achk@ (FLAG off) # Purpose: accounting at end (see also af, la, ar, as) # default ae=jobend $H $n $P $k $b $t (STRING) # Purpose: name of accounting file (see also la, ar) # default af=acct (STRING) # Purpose: use long job number (0 - 999999) when a job is submitted # default longnumber@ (FLAG off) Longnumber Step 9: Start Things and Set Permissions When Printer Connects. 1) Go to Network Connections. Click the Advanced tab at the top, then 'Optional Networking Components'. Enable both Management and Monitoring Tools and Other Network File and Print services. It will ask you to insert the Windows cd, which you should have around.

This will allow us to connect via LPR 2) Go to the Control Panel and then to Printers. Run the Add a New Printer wizard. 3) Local Printer (do not automatically detect). 4) Create New Port ->LPR Port. Next 5) Enter the IP address of the FreeNAS box. This is why we want it to be static. Enter the name of the print queue (if you copied my printcap, it's 'lp' without quotes) 6) Install drivers and click through the rest of the wizard.

Do not print test page. 7) Right click on the printer and open up properties.

Uncheck 'bidirectional support' 9) Advanced Tab. start printing after the last page is spooled. Check Print directly& Uncheck Hold mismatched& Uncheck Print spooled& Check Keep&.Uncheck Enable advanced& Check 10) Now go back to the main tab and try printing a test page. Step 11: Connecting With Mac OSX. 1) Open up System Preferences ->Print and Fax 2) Click the '+' to add a printer 3) Go to the 'IP' tab Protocol: LPD Address: The IP of FreeNAS Queue: Name of print queue (if you copied my printcap, it's 'lp' without quotes) Name and Location are up to you Print Using: Pick correct drivers* *Some printers, like my HP Deskjet 6540 wouldn't let me use the usb drivers with the LPD. I had to instead pick one as close as possible (turned out to be 5550) and go with that.

If the two models are similar, it should work without a problem. Good morning, i´ll try to install but when done download file.tbz i can see in the screen: Last login: Fri Jun 24 08: from 80.26.36.12 Copyright (c) 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 The Regents of the University of California.

Welcome to FreeNAS! Freenas:~# pkg_add -r LPRng Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.3-release/Lates t/LPRng.tbz. Completed after some very careful reading, and consulting the source thread.

A few helpful hints to my fellow explorers: 1) Instead of stating requires a 'standard' installation, should state up front that it requires a FULL install, an embedded install will not get past 1st base. 2) devd. Carcassonne Die Katharer Pdf Creator here. conf must be placed in /usr/local/etc/devd - if the directory doesnt exist, create it.

3) once all the pieces are in place, reboot to fully initialize the system. 4) helps to manually run the echo 'o5L25fgfab' >/dev/speaker command so you know exactly what to listen for. This is the success trumpet:) All in all, a very good instructable. Thanks for the hard work Tau_Zero!!! Apparently there's a bug with instructables.

Someone posted a workaround, i forget where. 'I think it's an instructables bug:( The same thing happens when I try to download files from here sometimes.

The fix is to save the file as 'file name.file type' if you put quotes around the name like above it will use the file type you put in. For example: To save '2 inch box bottom' • right-click the file • save as • in the name field type (including quotes) '2 inch box bottom.stl' This method also works just renaming files.

Use the quotes and the file type extention when you rename a file an it should change the file type as well as the name.' Don't worry about being new. I'm loosely familiar with the system (I'm usually on an XP machine or my Mac, which is Unix based, but hardly the same experience). The beep and ulpt0 showing up is a good sign. It means that at the very least, your printer is being seen by the FreeNAS box. The lpd running is a good sign.

Through the FreeNAS GUI ->Advanced ->command, try these commands: lpc lpd (gives you the PID of lpd or signals an error if lpd is not loaded) lpq (should return the status of the empty spool queue) lpc status (should show the queue and the spooler status) ls -l /dev/ulpt0 (should show ulpt0 setup for read-write for user, group, root) Let me know whether the first three run fine, or whether they say there's an error of some sort. Also let me know what permissions it says ulpt0 has. If everything is in order there, then we can go troubleshoot the other computer's setup for connecting. First of all, thanks very much for this nice guide! But i'm stuck.I did everything you told me step by step but my printer is recognized as a ugen0, ugen0.2 and ugen0.3 instead of the ulpt. It is a common samsung ML-2010 laserprinter.

My ulpt is up and running according to freebsd. Already tried rebooting first and then connecting te printer as well, no change what so ever. Can you help me please! Thanks in advance!
