Hi,

I'm running Mandrake and Redhat,
and I have an hp deskjet 3550,

where can I find the device drivers for this?

are there any generic drivers I could use in MD and RH?

Thanks for your reply.

However, I couln't seem to find the 'deskjet' drivers, only inkjet and someother drivers.

Woudld there be anywhere else I could find these drivers?

Thank you for your time

The hpijs-1.5.tar.gz package has the drivers for all Hewlet Packards printer. Certainly I see deskjet drivers when I'm setting up my printers in CUPS. I would recommend that you get foomatic-gswrapper http://www.linuxprinting.org/gswrapper.html and foomatic-rip http://www.linuxprinting.org/downloa...tic-rip&show=0 as well. Make the scripts executable and put them somewhere in your $PATH. /usr/bin does it for me. Good luck.
