I have a HP Color Laser Jet 2605dn on Mandriva 2008 spring.
Installation has caused many hassles.
aS soon as the network cable is connected,the printer just keeps printing gibberish on top of each page (only about one or two short lines)and goes on and on 'til we turn the printer off.
Can any one help with this???
Cheers
Leon
You don't mention what driver you used. And do you have cups installed? HPLIP?
Also, I would not be unplugging the cable. The normal installation would be with everything on and connected. If it starts to act up, then turn it off, clear the print queue, and then start again.
