ilia_kr Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Have you got cups and cups-common installed on your machine? A quick: rpm -qa | grep cups should help show if they are installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
