Think of me as a newby with a five-week-old PSC1210. Somewhere I'm missing something. I can scan, but can't print. Running RedHat 9.0. Printer is HP PSC1210 and I had previously set it up on another older and slower RH 9 system and it printed (with "lpr <file-name>" only) and scanned. Wouldn't print a cups test page. On my wife's machine it won't print at all, but scans. installed libusb-0.1.6-3 installed libusb-devel-0.1.6-3 installed hpijs-1.6.1-1 installed hpoj-0.91-1 as root, /usr/local/sbin/ptal-init setup in cups (http://localhost:631) select "add a printer" and select the device: [betty@betty log]$ ptal-device mlc:usb:psc1200 [betty@betty log]$ ptal-devid MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:psc 1200 series;CMD:LDL,MLC,PML,DYN;CLS:PRINTER;1284.4DL:4d,4e,1;SN:CN42QG301Y5H;S:0380008000820000002c1481061c 2501061; [betty@betty log]$ ptal-print `ptal-device` </dev/null ptal-print: connecting to device "mlc:usb:psc1200"... successful.

If so, you have a CUPS problem and should perhaps better post on the CUPS mailing list. Till |
