Printer Driver HP Deskjet K209 Not available in Debian Lenny
 

Hi...

I want to install printer HP Deskjet k209 in Debian Lenny but i am unable to install because printer driver is not available in this distribution..

Hi,

I don't know this particular model, but did you take a look at the "hplip" package? It should contain anything needed to get most HP printers running fine with CUPS (as long as they do not support postscript natively, if they do, any special driver layer would be unnecessary)

Install the hplip package from the backports.org repo.
