hp deskjet 845c printer
 

Can any body help me to configure my hp 845c printer. i have hpjis driver installed

What's wrong? Is your printer seen by any application?

i get no error message not the printer prints anything. thank u for ur interest

 

Is it visible in the configuration program?
Look into /var/log/messages and search for info/errors/messages about printer and send it there.

i looked into the /var/log/messages and so such strings have seen. my configuration programs works well and when i type "hpijs -h" it produce the information of hewlet-paccard co and when type "gs -h" it show hpdj 8xx printer.

thanks for your time.

Well, you are running Redhat, so go to the Printer Configuration program. Remove whatever you have, and then try the procedure to install a new printer...Now...by default Redhat doesn't come for a driver for the 845c, I just looked. So, if you said that you installed the driver, I'm assuming that it shows up in the Printer configuration program. Just delect that, and then try and print a test page. Hopefully it'll work. ;)

i tried as you told. but the problem remains same. can u suggest me any driver for my hp deskjet845c printer.

thanks for ur time

 

Look at www.linuxprintiong.org for info and hpinkjet.sourceforge.net for driver.

i had visited linuxprinting.com earlier and it suggested me to dowload and install hpijs driver. i did so. but i can't print anything.

thank you for your time

 

Right, sorry. I didn't read the whole thread...
First check if the driver is correctly installed:
hpijs -h
It should print nice text.
Then test Ghostscript
gs -h|grep ijs
It should be( note: in my mdk 7.2 it's not available, I don't know which RH you're using). If not, you need to upgrade your Ghostscript software (6.53 is needed).

i really appreciate your interest. i checked hpijs -h and gs -h and it produce the desired result.

Do you have CUPS or other printing system installed?

i don't have any of the programs you mentoned. nor i have no idea about them.

thank you

CUPS should be available on your installation cds...

i don't have cups installed on my system

("rpm -qa |grep cups" return nothing)

thanks again
