Download HPLIP 3.10.5:

Download Link:http://space.dl.sourceforge.net/project/hplip/hplip/3.10.5/hplip-3.10.5.ru

Step 2: Run the Automatic Installer Running the installer requires that you open a command shell to enter commands. To do this, open a terminal or console window In the terminal/console, enter the following commands (type all the text after the $ character and then press enter): Note These instructions assume that the hplip-3.10.5.run file was downloaded to your Desktop directory. You may have to adjust the 'cd' command based on where your web browser saved the file on your system. Step 3: Select the Install Type Select the install mode: Automatic (enter an 'a') or Custom (enter a 'c'). We recommended that most users select the Automatic install mode Step 4: Verify your Linux Distribution Note Ensure the installer detected the correct Linux distribution. Different Linux versions use different install procedures if the incorrect version is selected, the installer may fail. Step 5: Select HPLIP Options to Enable Note Enter 'y' to enable parallel support. By default, parallel support is disabled. Step 6: Enter Your root/Superuser User Password Step 7: Read the Installation Notes Depending on your Linux distribution some steps may need to be completed before going further with the HPLIP install. Please follow any directions given. Step 8: Detect Any Missing Dependencies The installer will now detect what dependencies your system will need to install before installing HPLIP. In addition any package manager clean up steps will be ran. These are executed to try and minimze any potential package manager problems. Step 9: Download and Install Any Missing Dependencies If your system is missing any dependencies they are now downloaded and installed. Step 10: './configure' and 'make' will run ./configure prepares HPLIP for install as well as your system is verified to have all the required dependencies for HPLIP. 'make' is then executed. Make compiles ("builds") HPLIP for your system. Step 11: 'make install' is Run 'make install' is the actual install procedure, this step is where HPLIP is actually being installed to your system.

Clearing paper jams (for ML-1610, ML-1640, ML-2010, ML-2240, ML-2245)

STEP 1. In the paper feed area

[Overview]

Occasionally, paper can be jammed during a print job. Some of causes include:

• The tray is overfilled.

• The front cover has been opened during a print job.

• Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used.

• Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used.

If a paper jam occurs, the On Line/Error LED on the control panel lights red.

Find and remove the jammed paper. If it is invisible, look inside the printer.

[Solution]

1. In The Paper Feed Area

1) Remove any misfeed paper by pulling it out by the visible edge from the tray. Make sure that all of the paper is properly aligned in the tray.

2) Open and close the front or top cover to resume printing the document from failed pages.

STEP 2. Around the toner cartridge

2. Around The Toner Cartridge

1) Open the front cover.

2) Pull the toner cartridge out, and remove it from the printer.

3) If necessary, pull the manual tray out.

4) Gently pull the paper toward you.

5) Check that there is no other paper in the printer.

6) If necessary, push the manual tray back into the machine.

7) Reinstall the toner cartridge, and close the front cover. Your printer resumes printing the document from failed pages.

STEP 3. In the paper exit area

3. In The Paper Exit Area

Note: Paper jams in this area may result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water as hot water will set the toner into the fabric.

1) If the paper jams as it exits to the output tray and a long portion of the paper is visible, pull the paper straight out.

When you pull the jammed paper, if there is resistance and the paper does not move immediately, stop pulling. Continue with the next step.

2) Open the top cover and the inner cover.

Caution:

• When removing the jammed paper, be careful not to touch the heat roller (located underneath the inner cover.) It is hot and could cause burns!

• The top and inner cover themselves may also be hot due to the heat roller. Allow the printer to cool before opening the covers.

3) Loosen the paper if it is caught in the heat rollers. Then pull the paper gently out.

4) Close the inner cover and the top cover. Printing resumes automatically.

Note: Failed pages will not reprint. Try printing the pages

When trying to power on a Windows virtual machine, you see the error: The VMware Authorization Service is not running.

Symptoms

•     Powering on a Windows virtual machine fails

•     When trying to power on a Windows virtual machine, you see the error:
  

      The VMware Authorization Service is not running.

the VMware Authorization service:
         1.Right-click (My) Computer and select Manage.

         2.Click Local Users and Groups > Users.

         3.Right-click the __vmware_user__ user account and click
Properties.
