Printer not printing black

[xboxboy]

Hi all,

 

Im running 2008, with a HP psc 1315 printer. It prints text blue rather than black. I have even gone to the length of downloading the driver through the HP website. No luck everything is still blue.

 

Its not the ink itself as I can scan fine in black, and it works fine under windows.

 

Any ideas guys?

You probably need a newer hplip version?

What's the output of

urpmq hplip

in a root console?

A friend of mine has this thing, and both the printer and the scanner are working properly.

The only regression is that sometimes the graphical setup tool (hp-toolbox) does not work properly, so you'd rather run "hp-setup" from a root console.

The proper print class, according to the hplip site, is "DJ3600"

the output is

 

hplip|hplip|hplip

That only shows us you have three available. What's the output of

urpmq -i hplip |grep -i version

I know that hplip-2.7.12 is in 2008.0/main/backports, but what version do you have installed, do

rpm -qa |grep hplip

Heres the first out put

 

Version     : 2.7.7
Version     : 2.7.7
Version     : 2.7.7

 

and the second

 

hplip-2.7.7-8.1mdv2008.0
hplip-hpijs-2.7.7-8.1mdv2008.0
hplip-model-data-2.7.7-8.1mdv2008.0

 

Hope this helps

You need to add the /main/backports to your sources, then update the package list.
