No Bounding Box for printer ?


I am trying to configure a HP Deskjet 3845 printer on Ubuntu 8.04. When I go to print a test page, it tells me: "No %% Bounding Box" "Reasonther".
Other popup windows come up telling me the printer is not connected (false). It also reads the printer as 3840 (not 3845).
Everything else seems to be configured.

Hmmm?

See this link for an explanation on "No Bounding Box" -->http://sourceware.org/ml/docbook/1999-11/msg00022.html

Try printing a regular file. This error may be something to ignore...

According to LinuxPrinting.org, the 3840 and 3845 are more or less the same printer, so I wouldn't get too excited about that message. This printer is supported by the hplip driver, I assume that is what you have installed?
