thecooptoo,

Do you have the /dev entry
Code:
 DeviceURI usb:/dev/usb/lp0
or do you have a different /dev node, like /dev/usblp0 ?

looking around the fora there appears to be a problem with usb and udev/kernels

ive emerged hplip and run it but it didnt find d anything

when I add a symlink
Code:
dads default # ls -la /dev/usb
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    60 Mar 19 07:23 .
drwxr-xr-x  23 root root 29880 Mar 19 07:23 ..
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     8 Mar 19 07:23 lp0 -> /dev/lp0
dads default #                   


CUPS now sees the printer, but whne I send anything to it, it prints out the top LH corner ( 1 or 2 lines or 1/2 small graphic) and thats all.

Using hplip, if you go add your printer in cups there will be a new device starting hp:/usb/...
My PSC2355 works fine using that, it wouldn't work at all using the /dev node.

hmmmm. Hplib has found the printer and when i try to print something I get

Unsupported personality: PCL as text on the page,
which others have got too according to
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1010

ive bee through https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-437476-highlight-foomatic+ph+laserjet.html & added foo2zjs

After selecting USB printer #1(HP laserjet 1010)

it asked me for Make 'RAW/Dymo/EPSON/HP etc' - chose HP

then its
Quote:

'Color LaserJet Series PCL6 CUPS v1.1 (en)
HP DEskjet Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
HP Laserjet Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
HP Laserjet Series series PCL6 CUPS v1.1 (en)
HP New Deskjet Series CUPS v 1.1 (en)

No idea why ive got 2 lots of some

selected either the HP Laserjet Series CUPS v1.1 (en) or HP New Deskjet Series CUPS v 1.1 (en) gives me that same 'Unsupported personality'
