[hpoj-devel] Printing Empty Pages

[Luke J. <lu...@jo...>]

Hello,

	I have a HP PSC 1210 model and am having a printing problem.  The 
configuration, communication, and scanning seems to work well.  When I go to 
print a test page through CUPS or try to print anything the printer just 
feeds paper in and then immediately spits it out blank.  The printer keeps 
doing this until the paper tray is empty and never actually prints anything.

I heard this was a linux kernel 2.6 issue and have read somewhere of a patch?  
I have kernel 2.6.4 and am having trouble finding this patch (shouldn't it be 
posted on the hpoj web page? Can't find it!)  I'm also confused as to whether 
this is a kernel patch or a hpoj patch?  I did manage to find a hpoj patch 
called "hpoj-0.91-kernel26.patch" - I applied it to hpoj-0.91 but it didn't 
fix the problem.  I found this patch here:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42921

Is there a kernel patch?  How does one go about fixing this?  I also tried 
using hpoj-CVS but that didn't help either.  Downgrading this kernel is not 
an option (at least not down to 2.4).  Can anybody help me out or point me in 
the right direction?

My specifications:

Slackware Linux 9.1
Kernel 2.6.4
HPOJ 0.91
hpijs 1.4.1
CUPS 1.1.19
