I am new to Linux, but not new to Unix-like OSes. I just installed RH9 at home. I have an HP LaserJet 3300mfp connected on the parallel port. After some research and some running around, I was able to get the printer both printing through CUPS and scanning with SANE/hpoj.

It seems, though, that hpoj and CUPS can't be running at the same time, otherwise they each find the printer port busy and I can't scan or print.

I leave the machine running CUPS, and when I want to scan I stop CUPS and start hpoj. When I'm done I go back to running CUPS.

Is this the way it's supposed to work?

Thanks for any help!

hi

ya. you can only use one printing service. cupsd should work with your hp printer just fine.
