install drivers perhaps
#[SOLVED] printer is stuck on getting printer information in arch linux (gui installer)
mellow yarrow
what brand?
I'll figure that out it's likely in the aur
you go do that too
hplip
when installing?
what error did you get?
this is network error
refresh your mirrors and update your remote package db
to refresh mirrors```
sudo reflector --country US,GB,AU --latest 10 --sort rate --protocol https --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
change --country country-here to what you like
after refreshing
update package db```
sudo pacman -Syu
well rip
you don't have reflector instaleld
well, udpate package db anyways
when did you last update?
if it's a long time ago then it's likely cause the package versions of your db isnt' in sync with what's in the repo
so udpate your db```
sudo pacman -Syu
is the command running?
it's fine
okay good
now
- delete your printer entry
- add it back
it could still be using the generic driver if you haven't
idk, i just use gnome-control-center for that
but that's only useful if you use gnome
instead install system-config-printer
and also cups-pk-helper
okay, use system-config-printer to delete your printer entry
yeah, that's likely cause it's still using generic driver instead of the hp one you installed
which is why i want you to delete your printer entry
and add it back
set your print size setting properly
i take it as you've done it?
mellow yarrow
which is why i want you to delete your printer entry
and add it back
this
delete it anyways
yes
I have had this happen before
had to do the same
but for dell printer
have you deleted it?
make it clear next time
use system-config-printer to add it
yeah, i think so
well, try printing again
set a margin and padding
and how much cut off
looks like a problem of wrong orientation setting
try that
and how does it look like in the print preview?
idk, i don't use risetto
idk, i don't use that image viewer
could be a ristretto bug idk
nah
try printing with gimp instead
compare the results with what you see in print preview
or use another image viewer as well
you mean you want to crop?
okay first
what does the image look like in gimp
well, just increasee the size in the image size print setting
what did you do??
change paper size setting instead?
yeah, that's paper size setting
it says so in the tab
