Can't use HP P1006 printer with Mint 13
Hi!
I use Mint 13 and I have just connected a printer HP Laserjet P1006. Mint recognizes the printer immediatly but when I try to print something nothing happens. Not error message, no reaction. Code:
lpq Code:
lpstat -t |
I have a P1005. I use foo2zjs. It's a bit rough on the edges on the install, but you will get working. Read the instructions (README & INSTALL) and use it from source. Don't try a package. It grabs the firmware for you. You need to remove the system-config-printer package and this affects the cups web interface.

How did you install it? When I had an HP, I found that using hp-setup was more reliable than using CUPS or a distro's configuration tool.

You basically have no choice in installing it
tar -xzvf foozjs.tar.gz cd foozjs make ./getweb P1006 # grabs firmware make install make install-hotplug and it's done. Don't try a package - it will only end in tears. |
