I already did that. Still no-go. Also, earlier today, I rebooted with the Mepis CD to test the printer, and it worked just fine from Mepis. I think the next thing I'm going to try is see if I can somehow copy the Mepis Printer package onto my system. Hopefully, it will only require adding whatever repositories Mepis uses other than the Debian ones and doing a simple apt-get install.On Tue, 2004-12-21 at 00:14 -0800, Scarletdown wrote:
Since I am still stumped on the TV Tuner problem that I posted about earlier, I decided to start working on getting the printer up and running. I really thought that this would be a fairly easy one too, since it's just a simple old parallel port HP OfficeJet, which worked beautifully with CUPs back when I was running Mepis.
So anyway, I have a CUPS server running, the printer connected to the parallel port (/dev/lp0), of course, and the print driver set to hpijs.
When I do a test page (this is from the KDE Control Panel), a message pops up saying that the page was successfully sent to the printer. But, that is obviously false, as the printer does nothing at all. Is there anything else I need to install or configure to get this thing to work?
Try installing the hpijs package. I had this same problem this weekend with a usb printer using the hpijs drivers from foomatic-db-hpijs. Once I installed the hpijs package, it started working instantly.
