I want to toss my HP out the window.


I've been trying over and over to configure my usb HP Deskjet 3320 properly with Mandrake and nothing has worked. Of course the system can SEE the usb device (/dev/usb/lp0), but I can't print with it. Right now I'm using (haha, sorta) CUPS. I did try GPR, but it kept asking for a PPD (?) file. I had absolutely no luck with PDQ. I've searched the threads here and read the docs on linuxprinting.org, etc..

I was wondering if you guys knew where I could find a really super-informative/easy and helpful howto on specific HP's, 3320 models, usb printers, anything of the sort? thanks in advance..

Throw out my HP printer too!

I have the same exact printer and the same exact problem. BTW, Mandrake 9 comes with hpijs preinstalled. This does not seem to help. Anyone have a remedy?
