[hpoj-devel] Printing Problems with HP PSC series 1200 - 1300

[bbales <bb...@co...>]

Well, I must be doing something wrong.  I've been fighting this HP PSC1210 for 
over a week with not a character printed.

Running RH-9, 2.4.20-8 kernel.  Was able to scan right off and the machine 
copies beautifully, but no print.

Got the latest hpoj and hpijs, cups 1.1.17, ghostscript 7.05-32  and went 
through the install and setup multiple times.  Always get "psc1210 
successfully installed".  Then print test page gives "could not connect to 
remote server ."   

/var/log/messages is full of the following two lines.

successfully initialized.

Reinstallations are followed by:

lpr always returns the prompt immediately, but no printing.  Same with lpr 
testprint.ps  (postscript file).

Hate to give up on a brand new printer, but I've heard that Epsons come with a 
Linux driver.
