''in the following example the printer that it is used is a HP DeskJet 1310 series, connected with USB''
-remove everything regarding the CUPS server and services and installed install the perweb-app-click CUPS server.
It is necessary to have a correct "''root''" user with correct root priviledges. Now CUPS server(app) will let us modify anything under the ''Administrative pages.''.
-Connect per usb the printer and by doing "find new printers" from inside the CUPS' config pages continue with installation. Then you will have to chose the printer from a list. If for some reason there is not the correct model in the list you will have to find, download and install the correct PPD file. For this specific example we had to download in a desktop PC, then extract and manually add the correct PPD file from HP which you can find and extract from inside the Linux HP's linux drivers. It is possible that you get under the "manage printers" page (HP13115_SERVER is my printers' name):
Perhaps you will get under the "manage printers" page: (HP13115_SERVER is my printers' name)
<< HP1315_SERVER hp psc 1310 series Local Printer HP PSC 1310 Series, hpcups 3.14.4 Idle - "File "/usr/lib64/cups/filter/hpcups" not available: No such file or directory" >>,
because ''HPLIP package '' is not installed there is nothing to create a link.
by doing "''yum install hplip''", HPLIP was installed. Reboot the server just to be sure.
The message from the CUPS' '' Printer page '' that you will get should be the following:<<HP1315_SERVER hp psc 1310 series Local Printer HP PSC 1310 Series, hpcups 3.13.11 '''Idle'''>>
As everything indicates the printer should be working!
