Hi andreas

Not sure if I am "the other Pete" but I second Pete2's suggestion of talking nicely to Paul to see if he has the time to look into porting hplip 3.212 - clicking the Donate button here
    https://os2ports.smedley.id.au/   
 may help :-)

Alternatively you would need to either add a "cleaned" PPD to psprint.drv for this printer if it uses postscript - the page here suggests not https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/product-specs/hp-laserjet-mfp-m232-m237-printer-series/model/30836604 - or possibly use PCL driver *if* that works with PCLmS.

I suspect your best option would be hplip, would make wireless connectivity easy ( famous last words etc  :-)


Regards

Pete

Hi All

Had a response from Silvan suggesting the use of scanimage parameter "--output-file=Filename" instead of using redirection "> Filename" and that seems to work fine here to produce "genuine" PNG and JPEG file types - and the files are not corrupted in any way.

Hi andreas

When booting the installation stick select to "Boot with own choices" or similar wording and make sure the nvme driver is selected.

Hi All

Jumping in a bit late on the discussion about file types that scanimage (should) output ie pnm, jpeg, tiff and png but I have to agree with Jan-Erik: scanimage cannot produce jpeg files - or png files. While it is possible to get files with those extensions from scanimage they are PPM (PMN) file types. As Jan-Erik says PMView can display the file type so easily checked.

I used the command line to try scanning to jpeg and png. Here are the command lines used and the results:-

scanimage -d hpaio:/net/envy_photo_6200_series?ip=192.168.1.252 --format=jpeg --mode Color --resolution 300 >J:\Programs\HPscan\work\TestScan_format.jpg
Result:
Image Type: JPEG
Scrambled image...  PMView reports "Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment"
scanimage trap -> 679abf15-003d_02-SCANIMAGE-exceptq.txt
*Unable to scan successfully using --format=jpeg option

scanimage -d hpaio:/net/envy_photo_6200_series?ip=192.168.1.252 --format=png --mode Color --resolution 300 >J:\Programs\HPscan\work\TestScan_format.png
Result:
Blank/Black image...  PMView reports "TestScan_format.png: Unrecognised file format"
scanimage trap -> 679ac584-0050_02-SCANIMAGE-exceptq.txt
*Unable to scan successfully using --format=png option

The other 2 scanimage output file types, pnm and tiff, seem to work OK.

I also found that every scan, whether successful or not, produces a *-SCANIMAGE-exceptq.txt file. They all seem to show
Exception C0000005 - Access Violation

Should I post a/some of these exceptq files?/email a report to Silvan?

Hi mauro

Maybe you need to play around with some config.sys values. I use the following on an ArcaOS5.1 system to be able to run Seamonkey and OpenOffice without system memory problems:-

THREADS=512
VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2560
PROCESSES=128


Have you had a read through the Seamonkey files README.OS2 and RPM_REQUIREMENTS?

Hi

Sometimes these sorts of issues are resolved by running checkini from WPTools - http://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/util/config/WPTools_3-3.zip - followed by running cleanini - http://www.ca-arnold.de/download/cleanini55.zip

Do read instructions *before* using the above tools.

Hi Ivan

Possible config file problem? - presuming coolreader has some sort of ini or conf file lurking somewhere on your system.

I also seem to recall having problems with a qt4 app in the distant past which were resolved by deleting %HOME%\.config\trolltech.ini

Hi Neil


lpinfo -m
lpinfo: bad file number



Are you sure cupsd.exe is running? - the above result suggests it is not or possibly lpinfo cannot find a support file.
If you have PMdll installed it might be worth dropping lpinfo.exe onto the PMdll object to see if there are other problems.

Pete

Hi Martin

If "SET_SANE_WORKAROUND" is not a typo it is incorrect and should be
   SET SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1

Hi Roderick

Seasons Greeting  :-)

No point in looking at using Tame/2 if you have a HP scanner using hpaio as tame/2 does not understand the necessary uri format required by hpaio.

Hi Neil

Looks like the cups daemon - aka %UNIXROOT%:\usr\sbin\cupsd.exe - is not running.

Do you have the cups daemon in the Startup folder?

Hi Jan-Erik

The "Crop" problem Dariusz reports could be the result of the differences between an OS/2 screen and every other pc os screen - OS2/2 starts at Bottom Left as 0,0 whereas Windows, linux etc start at TOP Left as 0,0.

Hi

Does the scanimage line need a -d parameter? eg

   scanimage -v -d epsons  1>output.pnm 2>debugoutput.txt

Hi Per

A few years back I had a monitor that was failing. Sometimes at Power On I had a blank screen other times the screen was a "white out". This happened less often during reboots.

I initially thought the graphics card was failing but that tested OK in 2 other systems. I then swapped monitors and the problem moved to the system that I had swapped monitors with. Turned out to be a power supply intermittently failing in the monitor.

Could it be the monitor rather than the RX 580 graphics card 'showing signs of "giving up"'?


Regards

Pete
