Initially, I installed SUSE Linux and with some pain was able to install my HP printer. Then I switched to Fedora and I haven't been able to make that damn printer puke some printed stuff. I followed all instructions as per http://www.linuxprinting.org/ without success. When I do "cat sihp1000.img > /dev/usb/lp0" the printer burps out some noise indicating I guess that the driver is being loaded buy yet it won't print. Looking at log files I get all kind of messages according to flavor of the day I guess : "paper tray empty" or "printer faults". But I damn know it is not empty. What am I gonna do switch back to SUSE?? Suggestions??The HP LaserJet 1000 is a so called "Windows printer" - it is a GDI model. That is the reason why http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1000 tells you how to load the firmware out of the Windows driver. But as said on the page to, it is a "works mostly" workaround. You then have to configure cups to use the driver. Instructions are to be found from the site mentioned above. Alexander Oh and by the way I know sihp1000.img is not an image LOL Mario -- _________________ Mario St-Gelais www.gestionti.com "Good judgment comes from experience- usually experience which was the result of poor judgment" Bill Putnam |
