I'm using an HP OfficeJet K60, I've installed the HP drivers, and I'm trying to use CUPS. When I set up the printer, I have it on /dev/usb/lp0, and I'm using the drivers for the OfficeJet K60. However, CUPS does not seem to think it has paper. If I can't get this damn printer to work with Slackware in 1 month, I might have to migrate over to Fedora, because I'm just getting fed up with trying to get this thing to work. Can anyone help me out at all?

Yes, that's how I learned about the HP drivers. The computer detects the printer, but it just won't print because it thinks the printer's out of paper!

OK, have you tried changing the paper source in the printer setting widget?
In KDE go to Control Center-->Peripherals-->Printers, click on the "Instances" tab and then the "Setting" button, the paper source dropdown is under the "General" tab.

I'm trying to print a test page directly through CUPS's http menus. I'm not going through KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice, or anything of the like, I'm just trying to get this to work directly from CUPS.
Well, I've found a work-around. It seems that USB support isn't that good, but when I plugged it to my computer via Parallel it works! I still wish I could get it to work with my USB connection, but I guess that'll have to wait.
