The hplip package that comes with Slackware should support this printer. See this link

-->http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web.../combined.html

Note, you have to install the driver 'plugin' for the printer to work. See the above link, if you follow the information, it leads you to this link:

-->http://hplipopensource.com/node/309

It describes how to install the plugin.

I downloaded the foo2zjs, and the make on my Slack 14-64 system worked fine. Did you do a full install?

I first installed foo2zjs.
But,localhost:631 doesn't connect why?

Not sure what you mean here. Can you explain with more detail?

Do you mean; if you type localhost:631 in your browser, you do not connect to cups?

Do you mean you can not connect to the printer?

I assume you mean trying to connect to localhost:631 in a browser to configure the printer. This slightly confused me as well when I was setting this up. The solution was to start the CUPS print server. Even though you may not be running a "print server", the server still needs to be running in order to connect to the administration panel.

You do this by changing the /etc/rc.d/rc.cups file to be executable, and it will run at startup. You do this with the command:

Code:

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups

Once it's executable, you can also run it manually like a program, by doing this:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

Once you've done this, you should be able to connect to the localhost:631 administration panel, and configure your printer.

Yes.Thanks to all.I found the solution to the problem I mentioned in the below thread.The problem is
1.There is some bug with hplip so that is why it give no ppd file found message.After upgrading hplip from patch provided by slackware i successfully installed my printer and it is printing good.

Also,how to make print server start(cups server)during booting.I want to know how to make cups server start immediately after boot?For now I am sticking with Slackware.

Code:

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups

This is handled by the following snippet from etc/rc.d/rc.M which executes when booting.

Code:

# Start the print spooling system.  This will usually be LPRng (lpd) or CUPS.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups ]; then
  # Start CUPS:
  /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
elif [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.lprng ]; then
  # Start LPRng (lpd):
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.lprng start
fi

Hope this helps.
