Re: Problem with cups printing since upgrading to FC6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thanks for the reply Gary.  However, this is not a printer issue, it is an FC6 issue (at least it seems to so me).  The printer was  working fine under FC5, and then when I upgraded, things went awry.

Can anybody help me debug my problem with cups under FC6?  I'll share any config / log files that may help. 

Thanks!
Bill

A number of folks have reported problems configuring early model HP
printers. I "think" there are some missing ppd issues. ( I'm not using
fc6) - but have solved the problem ( with different distros ) by going
to:http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/combined.html
