Oh, and I forgot to add, both of these printers are networked (JetDirect), max memory, 2 different paper inputs (I too really only use the paper drawer) and have a duplex unit on them as well. I guess I just got exited seeing someone else having problems, I thought it was just me (of course it probably really is). -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Powell, James F CONT Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 16:18 To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: RE: Cups crap With FC1 my HP Color LaserJet 4500 and 4550 just worked right out of the box, nothing to really do. In FC2 so far all I get is blank pages when I try to print from any application. Since I know it worked in FC1, what happened here? -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Michael A.

I have the postscript L2 simm installed and maxed out memory for the rest - and use a JetDirect card to print to it. I only print from the big 500 sheet drawer, never tried one of the other sources. I do not know what your specific problem is. Are you connected via JetDirect or Parallel or other? I'm not a CUPS expert - just someone for whom it works OOB with FC2 and HP LJ4.
