addr Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) This printer appears to be set up correctly and accepts print jobs but won't print. I have never had a problem with it before so I don't know what to try. As far as I can tell all the cups packages are installed.

addr Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 This printer has installed without issue in about 50 distros, including Mandriva in previous incarnations. It is a software problem. What could I be missing? I can't use the distro without the printer, so please, somebody suggest something. I don't know where to begin.

Greg2 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Do you have the hplip packages installed? In a terminal do rpm -qa |grep hplip and please post the output here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addr Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I've got it....my own stupid fault! I had put /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/usb/lp0, so it was trying to use the parallel port. I have a very red face! Thanks for your time and sorry to have wasted it! Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
