Hardware / Re: HP Deskjet 3635 need a workable driver
« on: April 14, 2025, 04:36:00 am »
Hi klipp

Might be easier to "walk" you through creating a printer as it seems something went wrong on your previous attempt(s).

With CUPS Daemon running and Printer powered on:-

1] Start Computer -> Printers -> Install Printer

2] Select Install a local or network printer (CUPS-based) and click Next

3] The "Create CUPS Printer" window should appear, select HP then select Deskjet 3630 Series hpijs and click Next

4] The printer should then be detected and displayed, make sure it is selected and click Next

5] Complete Printer Name and Location then click Next

6] The "Confirm Create Printer" window appears, Make sure Create Pinter is checked then click Create

7] Close the Create Printer dialog


You should end up with a printer with the correct driver for the Deskjet 3630 Series in the Printers folder

A simple test: open a browser and load http://localhost:631/printers then click on your printers name. The next page has a dropdown box called Maintenance, select Print Test Page from that dropdown list.

Let us know if the above worked for you.

Hi R.M.

Have you installed the hplip packages?
If "No" use ANPM to install hplip and that should pull in all the other required hplip and cups packages.

Then check there is a CUPS Daemon in the Startup folder.
If not create 1 with Path and file name: cmd.exe Parameters: /c detach cupsd.exe

Use prndrv.exe to remove any traces of previous failed printer installations and queues - http://www.os2site.com/sw/comm/faxworks/prndrv.exe

Doubleclick on CUPS Daemon then, with printer powered on, fire up a browser and go to http://localhost:631/admin and see if you can create a working printer.


Hope the above helps

Pete

Hi Lars

Any chance of a standalone/non-widget version in the future?

Hi Dave

I tried a new profile with no success - dooble simply crashes after a few minutes of trying to import the dooble_filter file.

There does not seem to be anything wrong with the file, opens in e.exe with no problems, so can only guess that something in the qt5/*nixy support files may not be at the correct level. I doubt it is memory related as dooble behaves the same when the system is rebooted and dooble is the only app started.

Hi andreas

You may want to look through this discussion https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php?topic=3864.msg47573 and see if you have the support libs mentioned installed.

You can also mark all the dll files in the AOO4 program directory to loadhigh. You have to be more selective in usr/libs but I cannot remember which dll files to not mark to loadhigh, Sorry. Hope someone else can join in with the "exclusion list"...

Hi Per

Is libcurl also at the latest 7.75.0-2? - If Yes go back a level, if No maybe try the update.

Same applies if libssh2 1.11.0-1 is installed.

Hi Per

Do you have installed the latest libxml2 2.12.4-1.oc00 (from netlabs-exp repo) installed?

If Yes maybe revert to an earlier version eg 2.9.10-3

Hi Dave

Thanks for those but I am having trouble getting dooble to import the dooble_filter file, dooble simply crashes; ie does not respond to any clicks and cannot be killed. Yes, I know it can take a couple of minutes to import the file but 40 minutes later...
No problem importing the accepted/blocked file.

Hi

OO 4.1.7 working on ArcaOS 5.1.1 (real hardware) using the below config.sys values allows me to also run Seamonkey without problems

THREADS=512
VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2560
PROCESSES=128

Will have to get around to updating to OO 4.1.11 sometime...

Hi

I suspect "drivers for hardcopy devices" means printer drivers, aka "*.drv".
Graphics drivers have dll files  - those using Panorama will find PANOPMI.DLL and PANOGREX.DLL in [BootDrive]:\OS2\DLL, I'm sure snap also has dll files - maybe "PMGRE.DLL is a simple forwarder DLL" to whatever graphics driver is involved?

Hi All

Thanks to Dave and Paul dooble-2025-02-28-Qt5 now running about as well as it ever did ie avoid any sites using lots of javascript as that seems to crash dooble pretty quick.

Pete
