Thanks Cory,

I'm a bit lost at sea about how to do this though...?  I have nothing at 
all in my log files (other than the startup event of ptal, etc), perhaps 
I'm not logging everything though...?  What's the default logging 
level?  Should I need to beef it up to catch such problems...?  For 
example I'm logging lpr.* and not seeing anything in there at all?

Sorry to be a muppet, I'm not a complete linux newbie, but I'm really 
not familiar with how CUPS, lpr and hpoj fit together.  Could you please 
describe what I should be testing here - I don't mean step by step, but 
basically what should cups be doing, and how can I see if it is or not - 
pointers to relevant documentation are more than sufficient.  Pointers 
as to how to manually flex gs/foomatic would be appreciated as well...  
To be clear I have an epson 750 setup and printing fine through CUPS via 
gimp-print so I have at least some of the basics all configured here.

Many thanks for any help


By the way - I only mention this since there seems to be HP folks 
listening: I've been *really* impressed with the PSC 2510.  It's the 
first time I've owned such a gadget, and previously was put off at the 
idea of the compromise, but it's actually pretty good!  It's quite cool 
being able to scan from any machine across the network, and it's pretty 
handy to be able to fax direct from the windows machines (anyone working 
on adding that to the linux driver..?)  Thanks for creating such a great 
gadget.

My only comments are that it would be nice to have better profiles 
delivered with the printer (on windows the output does not match the 
*calibrated* screen very well, also I have lusted after a roll paper 
feed for a while.  An automated document feeder, and duplexer would be 
nice too... (Something like the photo printer crossed with the officejet 
7130...)

Also, the scanner arrived with a lot of dirt and smears UNDER the 
glass.  I'm in the UK, and it's just too hard to send stuff back here, 
so I will live with it - but is it possible to download the service 
manual from anywhere to locate all the screws to remove the top cover to 
clean the glass...?  I appreciate the implications, but quite happy to 
accept them.

Thanks HP for all your support.  I would definitely recommend this 
product to a friend
