ilia_kr 1 Report post Posted June 1, 2006 I have an HPdeskJet840C on XP. I set up it so i could print from my Mandriva box but the printer doesn't print. When i want to print a test page - it sais that the printing started but it didn't really start. Help needed, please. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ilia_kr 1 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 Well, I'm in fedora now. Still no printer. I'm trying to set it up by using 'desktop-->system settings-->printing'. In a Networked Windows (smb) dialog I can't even see my XP mashine. Previously I've disabled some services but smb and cups are running. Any ideas now? P.S. thanks for helping me with Mandriva earlier... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
