It seems that my printer problems after installing software from the links below were for want of user name and password in the prefix of the smb network printer address in the printer setup. To get things working, I looked at my daughters's setup in Ubuntu ( which set itself up automatically somehow ) and then modified the printer network address with the following prefix as shown in parentheses below: smb://(username:password)@computername/workgroup/printername i.e. smb://username:password@computername/workgroup/printer After that my printers at work and home worked without incident using the native Debian hpijs drivers. Thanks Again for all the help, Vito ----- Original Message ---- From: Florian Boelstler <eup...@ar...> To: nub...@li...

CUPS (a printing system) is not the badest choice, its README says that it supports several HP LaserJet printers. It can deal with printers that are attached over network. In general it's only a matter of finding a correct .PPD file for your printer and setting it up for CUPS/foomatic. For the Ink-based printer I guess one of these projects should be sufficient: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/ http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=hpijs http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/ However try to find an appropriate Debian package first before installing any raw archives. Please share your findings, I have to setup an all-in-one HP printer for a friend soon :) Good luck, Florian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
