HP 845C Installation

LManer311 · 06-28-2003, 08:20 PM

Okay, I've been through about every forum and looked at about 1 million help pages and have gotten nothing. Could anyone please walk me through an installation of an HP 845C printer? I'm using RH 9. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA!

In a webbrowser, type: http://localhost:631 , that will let you configure CUPS. It is pretty easy, just pick your printer and try out a test page.

Everything seems to be installed correctly. I'm just getting an erroneus "Media Tray Empty" error. Any suggestions?

I have the same series printer: HP Deskjet 842C

First of all, great choice on the printer series. Next, if you dont have a usb cable, get one.....it installs itself.

Hehe, it's installed via USB. I'm getting nothing. Though I am getting frustrated.
