Turb0flat4 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I have another problem printing via SMB printing to a Windows 98 PC on my LAN which has a HP Deskjet 845c printer connected via USB. I've installed Samba, etc. and tried configuring the printer every which way. I used the web config for CUPS (http://localhost:631), as well as the Mandrake Control Center and finally the "kups" printer wizard (which wasn't even properly documented). At first the HP printer remained completely unresponsive, but after the final try with Kups, I managed to get it going. However, the test page printout wasn't successful - it prints out formatting type text on the first and last pages of a sheaf of blank papers. This sounds more like a driver problem. I've tried the recommended "foomatic" driver as well as the CUPS/Ghostscript driver to no avail. I even installed the hplip rpm (urpmi hplip) but didn't know what to do with the installed files, since no new driver files became available on kups etc. I'd really like to get this SAMBA printer working with my linux box. Please help ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
