It is running on my machine and it is producing I assume the error message: Printer 'HPLaserJ' : printer requires a binary plugin. run 'hp-setup' But I don't have a real clue what to do with this error message. Do you? However, I have made some progress. The printer driver supplied by s-c-t for The HP Laserjet 1020 is identified by the string: HP Laserjet 1020 hpcups 3.10.5 requires propriety pllugin it seems to me that proprietary plugin is not supplied by F13. Now in the past the printer driver that works is: foo2zjs . This driver has for at least 2 years has been available from: http://foo2js.rkkda.com >From that site you can get source for the driver that can be compiled and installed. It worked for me with Win XP and and works sort of on Windows 7. The sort of relates to the actual printing that I have yet failed to completely get to work. Last year we discussed that the F12 side was working but there is something we still don't understand on the Win 7 side. The print file shows up on the Win 7 side but does not print until the machine is rebooted and you are sitting at the Login screen. That is all I know from here. If you have some wisdom on the use of hp-setup let me know. -- ======================================================================= It isn't easy being a Friday kind of person in a Monday kind of world. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
