I'm running 5.4 RELEASE. I installed cups, set up two printers (one hplj network printer and one hpdj parallel port printer) and printed test pages. The network printer printed a test page just fine. The parallel port deskjet printer took about 45 minutes to print a test page.

Thinking it was a driver problem (I was using the standard cups driver), I installed print/hpijs using the WITH_CUPS=yes option. Then I started up print manager (in gnome2) to install the driver. It failed with an error - "CUPS is installed differently than expected. There is no directory '/usr/share/cups/model'.

There *is* a directory /usr/local/share/cups/model, so I created the /usr/share/cups directory and created a symlink in that directory to /usr/local/share/cups/model.

I then attempted to install the driver again and got the following error message: "Line longer than the maximum allowed (255 characters) at 1:'/usr/local/share/ppd/HP/HP-Deskjet_932C-hpijs.ppd.gz' (which is the driver I'm trying to install.)

Does anyone have a suggestion for my next step?
