Hello all,
I'm running Slackware11 and I'm trying to get CUPS to work with my printer, HP6210...
I've tried installing the HPLIP driver, but when I type in `make install` I get this error...

Code:

/bin/sh: line 4: hplip: command not found
make[3]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/southpaw76/hplip-1.6.10'
make[2]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/southpaw76/hplip-1.6.10'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/southpaw76/hplip-1.6.10'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

...also when I tried logging into the CUPS web interface I get "Problem loading page" error. Does anyone have any ideas, anything would be much appreciated, thanx...

Hi Southpaw76,

you don't have to compile hplip yourself. There is a precompiled package in /testing that seems to work good with most printers. You only have to compile it on your own if you have a network printer.

EDIT: changed to right folder, not /extra but /testing
