    As far as I can tell, the only thing wrong with it to make it not "fullly supported" is that it isn't autodetected if you hookit up USB (though it still works) and it doesn't suport PJL, whatever that is.

    Isn't autodetect?

    Autodetect the paper type? or autodetect the installation?

    Hy,

     

    I'm planning to buy HP Deskjet 5652,

     

    Ive found this:

    http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer....HP-DeskJet_5652

     

    This printer connects parrallelly, so I will connect this to my Router.

     

    My old printer (HP DJ 640C) got broken but she worked fine with my network sharing (Router).

    The router is Dlink DI-714P+ if anyone interesting.. It is possible to print through it (altough there is almost zero info about this on the net).

     

    Well, this printer wasn't Perfectly supported, what is this meaning?

     

    I have Mandrake 10, and im using kernel 2.6 .

    I'm very sorry to hear you sent it back.  I have long since figured out a fix and it and laid out instructions in the thread titled, "PSC 1210 now working under mandy 10.0ce"

     

    With the work that came from the begining of this thread, it works nicely in 9.0 and 9.1, and with no work at al, it is automaticaly configured and works great in 9.2

     

    In mandrake 10, you can either use the older 2.4 kernel, or fix and recompile the broken 2.6 kernel they shipped with mandy 10 or you can go through a very simple work aroiund to make it work flawlessly in 10.0  If anyone else see's this thread first and not the one with psc 1210 in the title, before you get impatient and send back your printer, here is the fix workaround if you want to use 2.6 without recompiling.

     

     

    1.  Let printer drake or the installer set it up for you.

     

    2.  Open up printer drake and delete the printer.  This will only delete the cups settings, it will still be listed with hpoj and you can still scan.  (You might take a minute after deleteing to make sure scanning still works.

     

    3.  Back to printer-drake and add a new printer, but DISSABLE ALL AUTODETECTION OPTIONS!!!!

     

    4.  Whe asked how it's connected, say usb0

     

    5.  When you are asked if it a "multi-funciton' device frm hp or epson, say "NO!!!!!" 

     

    6.  Reboot. (You don't technicaly need to reboot, but it's faster that starting stoping and modprobing for 5 minutes.)

     

    7.  Reboot the printer.

     

     

    That's it.  It will work like a champ.  The one bug with this work-a-round is that  each time you boot your computer, you must also reboot the printer after the pc boots.  It's not an issue for me because I leave my printer turned off when i'm not using it.  If you roll back to the 2.4 kernel that's on the cd's, you don't need any fix at all, and it work just fine.

    Thanx, but...

    I need this to work perfectly because my brothers wont shut of fand on the printer ach time they wil start on my PC.

     

    I hope you reported it to the Mandrake bugzilla.

    Ive just bought also PSC 1210 before a week, after bagging and "crying" to HP they finally agreed to send me a confirmation to return the device.

     

    In my case, the scanner worked perfectly.

    But,

    Every time Ive tried to print, the printer just start to take paper and to out, take and out, without do anything.

     

    Ive tried reinstall, and I even configured it with CVS stuff, sorry but that didn't worked for me.

     

    Im using mandrake 10 by the way,

     

    Try using the printdrake again, to configure the printer again, even restart your computer, make sure that CUPS running after hpoj service started, and then try to scan.

    If this working, but the printing no, than there two possible ways I thought about:

    1) New firmware?

    2) Mandrake Bug

    3) Old drivers.

     

    Whatever that was, I returned this scanner, not only because of linux, but because this PSC sucks (sorry if Im hurting someone with my language).

     

    It's based on HP Deskjet 3320, and that is the reason while trying to print through windows (I have network and brothers.. they are using DINGdows :tm: ), will show you a small nasty driver without even one featur (that cant even print mutip[le pages on one sheet).

     

    Good luck with your printer, by the way, when I asked HP (HP Israel), they saied to me: "This printer doesn't supported by linux"...

    So I hope someone could find out if this support or not, I dont have the time to mess with CVS and compilation (that why I left Gentoo).

     

    Good luck again,

    Sorry about my lousy English.
