HP printer installation on old machine.


Hi!

I'm a Newbie to Linux, having been a Windows & DOS user for years but now migrating. I find that my HP PSC1205 printer needs to be installed on WARY PUPPY - my machine is 10 years old. I would like to hear from someone who has already done this on an old machine and what problems were encountered. I have a 660MHz processor and half a gigabyte of ram. Thanks.

Hi!

I have not installed or used that printer, but at least, it seems to be Linux supported. There are drivers for your printer at http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html. Check it out.

*EDIT: A CPU with 660 MHz and 512 MB RAM should not be any problem. I use a 250 MHz CPU and 64 MB RAM and can print easily via HP Laserjet.
