[hpoj-devel] T45 printing problem, missing modules?

[Malcolm M. <ma...@mi...>]

Heyla, Folks.  I've been trying to get my OfficeJet T45 to print in 
Linux for a while, and have always had a little trouble configuring the 
drivers.

Here's my setup at the moment:

Slackware Linux 7.1
kernel 2.4.5
qt 1.45
XFree86 4.0.3
hpoj CVS package
My T45 is supposedly on /dev/lp0
I ran ptal-printd with the options of mlc:par:0 -like /dev/lp0 and
I've run the apsfilter setup program, and set up all the printcap 
entries to use it, at the deskjet 550 drivers as stated in the PRINT-HOWTO.

The problem I have is that whenever I attempt to print, ptal-printd 
returns an error:

ptalMlcConnect(dev=par:0): error connecting socket, errno=2!
ptalChannelOpen(chan=0x0804A4F8): provider failed open!


My suspicion is: in my hpoj source tree (gleaned from the sourceforge 
CVS server) has the ieee12844/ subdirectory, but the only contents are 
the CVS/ subtree.  My experiance with previous versions (I've been 
following the project off and on since 0.4) has been that there was 
sourcecode for a pair of kernel modules there.  Could it be that the CVS 
server is not distributing them properly?  I suspect that my problem may 
be stemming from this.
