Printer problem


Recommended Posts

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.

Have you got cups and cups-common installed on your machine? A quick:

 

rpm -qa | grep cups

 

should help show if they are installed.

Is HPlip service enabled? Take a look at /var/log/messages if there are e.g. hotplug or udev problems reported if this is a usb-printer.

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...
