Fedora 12 HP Laserjet 1020 doesn't print
 
1 Attachment(s)
I've attached troubleshoot.txt

It claims it prints and completes but nothing prints

There are 2 disks on this computer - a fedora and a win98se - I dual boot via the bios.

The printer works like a champ when windows is booted.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dick

SOLVED
This site prompted me to look on google (duh) I did and it referred me to
http://tkjacobsen.wordpress.com/2008...-on-fedora-10/

which told me exactly what to do - I did - and it works

thanks site

Dick

:-)

Currently I need to move files to the other disk and then boot into windows to print.

Most HP printers are supported by the hplip project, which your distro is sure to have.
After installing the package, configure the printer via the cups web interface: http://localhost:631

Cups doesn't like the uri you supplied:
Quote:
'printer-uri-supported': u'ipp://localhost:631/printers/HP-LaserJet-1020'},
'cups_printer_remote': False,
Is this a network printer, or connected via usb?

Here is an example of using hp-makeuri to generate the uri to use in the cups configuration:
Code:
Notes:
1. Example using 'lsusb' to obtain USB bus ID and USB device ID (example only, the values you obtain will differ) :
        $ lsusb
        Bus 003 Device 011: ID 03f0:c202 Hewlett-Packard
        $ hp-makeuri 003:011
This example is from "hp-makeuri --help".

Thanks for providing instructions. Note HP provides good information through their hplipopensource.com site (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...rjet_1020.html) but usually I first check openprinting.org (http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_1020).
