What .PPD file are you using? You can generate a .PPD for your exact printer Driver and PrinterID using foomatic-ppdfile. When I use the HP PPD which ships with cups I don't think it worked. Go to linuxprinting.org and see what your printerID is; your driver will be hpijs. For instance, I run: foomatic-datafile -d hpijs -p HP-PSC_750 > \ /usr/share/cups/model/HP-PSC_750.ppd Also run `dpkg-reconfigure hpoj` and make sure you have something like mlc: as a printer device. Then when you set up the printer pick that queue and the right PPD. You'll probably say "I already did this" but be very careful you actually have. All your answers have been of the form "I did all that and it still doesn't work." The instructions we are giving you are what you need to do. Also you may have found a bug. Read bug reports and look for workarounds. Perhaps you should say exactly what you are doing, in great detail, in Debian as well as give the printer model. Give copious detail. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
