rescue Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I have a HP LaserJet 1000 printer. With Mandrakelinux 10.0 official there was no problem at all, but after 10.1 Official installation printer wont print any more. Installation finds the printer, installs it (say that I have to copy sihp1000.img to /etc/printers/, but linuxprinting.org again says that with latest driver foo2zjs it is not needed any more.) well I want to print test page from kde's printer manager but nothing happens, the job stays in the list of jobs?
