My printer is an HP Deskpro 500, and the computer has a Asus p5b main
board and Intel E6300 processor.
The printer and wiring are fine, since I can print without problems on
the same computer when I boot into mandriva-2007, which I have also
installed on the harddrive. That distribution uses CUPS 1.2.4. and is
setup with HPDeskjet 500 Foomatic/pcl3 (recommended), on
parallel:/dev/lp0.
These same settings do not work for me in Etch, nor do the other 3 types
of drivers I found in the CUPS setup program.
I'm working my way through this site, trying to identify the problem.

I am wondering if there is something obvious I am missing or doing wrong
here? I realize Etch is a testing version of Debian, so could there be
some sort of bug?
Thanks for your help.
I had this problem a while back, but for the life of me I can't remember
what the fix was. One thing you might try is HPLIP, if you're not using
it already.
