So pretty > much this HP toolset doesn't seem to recognize my printer, :(. For HPLIP to recognise your printer is *has* to be set up through the HP device. For example, mine is named as follows (via CUPS); hp:/par/HP_Business_Inkjet_1200?device=/dev/parport0 > Has any one experienced these problems for hp-680c? If cups http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/inkjet.html says your printer is supported, and has been since v0.9.5 of HPLIP. > recognized the printer smoothly, why not the HP toolset? In the cups > web interface I didn't find any way to run the HP applications, but I You can't, AFAICT. I had to delete everything in $HOME to do with a previous HPLIP installation, as there was a big jump in Debian (Testing) from v0.9.5 to v2.7.10. There were significant changes in the way it all worked, which caused me problems. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Well you tried it just the once and found it alright for kicks Orgasm Addict - Buzzcocks
