HP 2630 Printer
I am running BigLinux OS, which is an Arch Distro. Since an update I am having problems with my Printer, an HP 2630 not printing. It seems to be switch off "enabled". The Printer seems to be installed. I have tried reinstalling printer but no success. Could anyone help with this issue? If you could explain step by step. Thank you
Stephen

spnoe,
Is CUPS installed?
If so, try running:
Code:
sudo systemctl enable cups.service

Thanks for replying. I am not sure if Cups are installed. I tried your suggestion; it did not work. However just trying with various settings, the printer began to work. I am not surer what settings. I will try before saying its solved. Thank again. Steve

In a terminal simply type: whereis cups. In a browser, enter: localhost:631 |
