Description manuel wolfshant 2012-10-05 11:42:50 UTC

Description of problem:
The LaserJet Pro M1536dnf is not identified and cannot be used

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hplip-3.10.9-3.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install hplip from RHEL 6.3
2. add to the network a LaserJet Pro M1536dnf ( including direct and reverse DNS )
3. Try to use hp-setup to add the new printer
  
Actual results:
The printer is not seen at all and not accepted even when its IP is manually specified. Therefore it cannot be configured and used via hplip. I have tried all the supported methods including text, GUI, automatic search, manual specification of the IP and manual specification of the hostname.

Expected results:
The printer should be discovered as hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_M1536dnf_MFP?ip=$IP or similar

Additional info:
I have adapted and recompiled hplip-3.12.9-6.src.rpm from Fedora 16 and it is almost OK. I say almost because there are some glitches here and there ( most notably, the identification step sometimes fails, too ) but all functions that I have tested ( print, scan ) work fine now.

This model is supported (albeit requiring the proprietary HP plugin) in 3.12.4, an update for which is currently being evaluated.
