HP Printer doesn't work on Suse 9.0
Hi!
I have the printer HPLaserjet1006 running on Suse9.0. I have installed foo2zjs. The printer is enabled and when I try to print something, the document is added in the queue and everything seems normal except that nothing is being printed, no matter how long I wait. Since I don't have any error message anywhere, I don't know what to do. The printer works fine under XP on the same computer. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance. |
first check the cups web interface to see what it says about if the printer instarted or stopped
printing in linux is always a bit of a struggle to setup that printer requires some firmware yes ? I think the firmware needs to be sent tio the printer everytime it's started http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/INSTALL this is covered by the make install-hotplug step exactly what steps did you take to get it set up to this point ? did you do the step after make ./getweb P1006 then make install then make install-hotplug you have foomatic installed yes? what do you get when you type usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 you should see something in there like FWVER= (firmwareversion) do you get anything in /var/log/messages when you plug and unplug the printer ? you might have a bad udev rule getting in the way |

I did make all the "make install" stuffs. The printer is actually being detected but I dont't get any Firmware-info: Code:
usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 Code:
