 |
|
Hey yall.
Cant get my HP Photosmart P1000 running. This is the command I used to set it up:
| Code: |
foomatic-configure -s cups -p 131424 -c /dev/lp0 -n Photosmart -d hpijs
|
But I get the error :
| Code: |
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
Could not set up/change the queue "Photosmart"!
|
/dev/lp0 does exist. And in dmesg I get:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,EPP]
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD PHOTOSMART P1000
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
I have parport, parport_pc, and lp loaded as modules. Anything I'm missing here??

Do you have parallel printer support under character devices in your kernel? I am not sure this is needed.

lp0: using parport0 (polling).
This means he DOES have Parallel printer support. Make sure you have CUPS running. If you do, then I recommend configuring your printer using the web interface.
Just point your browser to http://localhost:631

Awesome, works perfectly, thanks a lot.
I assumed (incorectly, I see) that you needed to run that foomatic command before you start up cups. Printed out a test page and it looks teriffic.
Thanks again! |
