energymedia Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hey all, I just purchased a HP Laserjet 1012. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it to print, driver issue. I am running MDK 9.2 and utilizing CUPS. When selecting how the printer is connected, USB, it shows that the printer is the 1012, but I cannot find the correct drivers anywhere. Can anyone help out? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Are you trying to do that through Mandrake Control Center / hardware session? I have one installed here and it was automatically recognised by the system. (even when I was running 9.1 / 9.2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energymedia Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Should have thought about doing that right off the bat. Thanks for un-freezing the brain for me. Everything works now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SweetLou Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 I need help installing the HP LaserJet 1012 on Mandrake 10. During installation, the printer was found and I could print a test page. In the Mandrake Control Center>>Hardware>>Printers, the printer is found. I just can't print anything. I can print the printer's internal test page. I've been searching for a solution to this problem of mine. I did find some information but nothing seems to have worked for me. If I remove the printer from the Control Center... Printers, Mandrake doesn't see it to reinstall. I am a newbee to Linux and I get confused easily. If anyone can point me in the correct direction to solve this problem, I would be greatly appreciative. Oh, I did have SuSE 9.0 installed for a day and I can get it to work in SuSE. I just think I like Mandrake better and was hoping to be able to use Mandrake over SuSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SweetLou Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Nevermind, I found the answer. I did some more searching on www.linuxprinting.org. At first, I didn't download and install the foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper since the page said I most likely wouldn't need them. This time I did and my printer is working again.
