[hpoj-devel] Scan but no print with hp-officejet5510 (SUSE9.1)

[Matthias S. <mat...@im...>]

Well, I guess I report the same problems everybody else is  
reporting with setting the hpoj software right now.      
      
I get my scanner to work perfectly following the instructions 
of the hpoj documentation. If I  inactivate the ptal (ptal-init stop) 
I get the printer  section  installed perfectly, however only  
using the desk jet 3320 driver, not with hpijs 1.71,  
which I downloaded.      
      
However, once I have started the driver again (ptal-init start) 
at the level of the ptal-print  </dev/null command I get no  
connection. Well, following the hpoj documentation it  
seems I might lack libusb support for my SUSE9.1     
hp-officeJet RPM-package (this is the  newest on from  
the SUSE-website, it solves the runlevel problem). However  
SUSE claims, their RPM-package is compiled just fine   
(TID-SuSE610 Set up a HP OfficeJet  ("all-in-one" device)    
12-MARCH-2004), even they do not explicidly refer to  
libusb. Does anybody know the answer to this one?      
      
Do I need ptal-print to do the printing with cups?  
Or is ptal-cups the one to use?  How do I get cups to  
send the print data to ptal-cups, if that would    
be the problem?      
      
I guess, there should be somebody out there who  
reads this and knows the answer.  So I think, he (or she)  
might just go ahead and  write the answer down and send  
it out. This would relieve a lot of people    
from  poking around with things they don't 
understand.      
      
With many thanks
