Self-test is a special command that can be sent to the printer to make it print its own internal test page. The hplip drivers don't support such commands. You should still be able to print that page through the web interface of the printer (http://ip-address-of-printer/). Also, if you installed hplip with X11 option on, you should have "HP Device Manager" in the application menu of your desktop. If you setup your printer via this application (remove the printer in CUPS web interface first), then you can perform some special commands, but it doesn't look like self-test is one of them. > I have the following ports installed: > $ pkg info | awk '{ print $1 }' - | grep -E "cups|foo|guten|ghost|hp" > cups-2.2.1 > cups-filters-1.11.4 > foomatic-db-20161105 > foomatic-db-hpijs-1.4 > ghostscript9-agpl-base-9.16_5 > gutenprint-base-5.2.10_2 > gutenprint-cups-5.2.10_3 > hplip-3.16.10 > hplip-plugin-3.16.10 You can remove foomatic-db, foomatic-db-hpijs and hplip-plugin. > I'm guessing I need cups-pstoraster for the missing piece? > If I try to add > print/cups-pstoraster > which also installs > print/cups-client > print/cups-image > I can't because of conflicts: > pkg-static: cups-client-2.0.3_2 conflicts with cups-2.2.1 > (installs files into the same place). > Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/cups-config > > It's unclear to me what gets installed from the print/cups port; > I had thought it was a meta-port that would install cups-base and others > depending on the options, but apparently not. What is the difference > between print/cups-base and print/cups? These ports no longer exist. cups-pstoraster is now part of cups-filters and cups-base, cups-client and cups-image are part of print/cups. If you still see these ports your ports tree isn't updating properly.
