Hey everyone. I'm running Sarge with a 2.4 kernel. I installed cupsys.
I am trying to print to a networked printer that has Jetdirect 170x. The
actual printer is an HP LaserJet 1300.
In Gnome, I went to Desktop Pref/System Tools/Printing, to install the
printer. Everything seemed to work fine, but it still does not print.
The wizard gives me the following options:
1. Local or Networked printer (I choose Network Printer and then select HP
JetDirect. For the Host, I'm putting in the IP addresss of the JetDirect
Box.
The PORT has a default value of 9100. I did not change this.
2. Manufacturer (I choose HP). Model (I choose LaserJet). Driver (It
defaults to "Standard (CUPS) (Suggested). It's either CUPS or "Install
Driver". I stick with (CUPS) (Suggested).
I then click "Apply".
Do I need to install a driver, and not use the CUPS? If so, how do I
install the driver?
Have you tried setting up and testing the printer from cups itself.
Browse to: http://localhost:631
There's a wee icon down the bottom lhs to add printers. Otherwise, if
it is already set up there, you can play with the setup until ye get it
working.
