Installing an HP printer ...

Hi...

I have an HP 3420 Deskjet ...
I managed to install hplip and configured the printer using cups with a PPD file downloaed from the net ..

When I try to print a test page I get this error :

/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed

Any help?

Do you have the foomatic-filters package installed?

How is the printer connected? Parallel? USB? Network? If it's a network printer, what does "hp-makeuri" give you?
