Yes, but I think it doesn't have to do with the lp and ppdev modules. The lp module basically makes a device like /dev/lp0 available --- you can do things like echo "test" > /dev/lp0 with that, but you're using USB. Getting a message about gutenprint probably means that there's something wrong with the so-called drivers, i. e. filters, that make all the features of the printer available. Do you have the gutenprint packages installed? You probably need to start with the "cups-driver-gutenprint" package (it's part of the distribution) and eventually install additional packages (also part of Debian) that specifically support the printer you're using if the support for it isn't already provided by "cups-driver-gutenprint". See http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_920C --- they are saying it's working fine ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
