HP 5150 Cups/hpijs error

UoVoBW · 04-20-2005, 08:16 AM

Hi everyone,

i'm using debian Sid with cups installed.
I have configured my HP 5150 printer and i do have installed the hpijs package, btu i can't get cups to see my printer as an 5150.
In localhost:631 (the administration page) i can add or remove printers, and mine is recognized, but i can't find in the model section the Deskjet 5150...

Any idea???
thanks

(sorry for the english)

You may need foomatic.

Code:

apt-cache search foomatic

that worked!
thank you!!!

i had to add the ppd of my printer in /etc/cups/ppd/ and modify the file ppds.dat, but now it works!!!

Thanks a lot again

hpijs should pull in foomatic,but it doesn't when you apt-get it.
