Thanks for responding Grumpy_Penguin. But it seems we are off on the yellow brick road again.

CUPS's pick for the psc 1315 is the driver for HP PhotoSmart 1000. Meanwhile, Fedora printer-config gui doesn't even give HPLIP as an option but restricts me to hpijs. By the way, after flashing at me for over an hour, my 'check cartridge' warning light on my printer has stopped flashing and I can now print. The computer gnomes are at work. While that is temporarily satisfying, it leaves me uncomprehending what is going on. -- Regards Bill
