printer setup from Centos 5 to Vista home prem. on a headless centos pc


I'm trying to access a printer that is connected by USB to a Vista home premium PC through the network. I can print to it from my other linux pc(slackware) and I can mount samba shares from both linux PCs to the vista PC so I know they can communicate with each other.

printer is a hp1315xi all in one

The problem is when I try to install the hplip drivers on my centos 5 box I get this error.
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/downloads.html

whenI try to install it using the tarball I get this

# yum list | grep libjpeg

First check if the hpijs rpm package is installed or not; rpm -qa 'hp*'

If not then as root from the virtual terminal or xterm session type: yum install hplip hpijs

The printer is supported by the standard hpijs rpm package for CentOS.

Well since it is installed then all you need to do is open any browser and goto http://127.0.0.1:631 to configure. It might be a good idea to grab the PPD file from Linux Foundation OpenPrinting;

I can't do the localhost:631 option..


headless = no CRT, no keyboard no mouse. I can only access it via SSH


and I dont believe I installed any of the GUI/X11 packages because I planned to only connect to it via SSH.

system-config-printer
system-config-printer: could not open display
This is a graphical application and requires DISPLAY to be set.



figured that would happen...


I need to put this on the back burner for now. The Vista PC the printer is connected to took a dump and I had to restore it back to a previous config. I'm not going to mess with sharing the printer till I figure out why it kept crashing.
