You probably need to install one of these packages: I have HP Laserjet 1200 series. > 1) cupsys-driver-gimpprint, > 2) foomatic-bin and foomatic-db, or > 3) cupsomatic-ppd. I have installed 1, 2 and 3. But I just copied from the CD (which I obtained with the printer) the original HP_Laserjet_1200.ppd to /usr/share/cups/model/HP/, restarted cups and then connected to http://localhost:631 and add new printer choosing the HP_Laserjet_1200 series model. I noticed the following: the files /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and printers.conf can be read and executed ONLY by root. I changed the mode (using chmod) so any user can read the files but nothing changed: the described above printing problem remained the same. When I did '/etc/init.d/./cupsys restart' the two files again can be read and executed ONLY by root. I use debian 3.0 (woody) Any clue? Jan > > Do you have libcupsys2 and gs-esp installed? I installed libcupsys2 but I cannot figure out whether I have gs-esp. What gs-esp is? Using search in dselect I cannot find it. I have installed all most packages connected with gs (ghostscript).
