| Code: |
emerge cups hplip #CUPS, Common Unix Printing System, hplip for the deskjet
rc-update add hplip default #Add hplip to start
rc-update add cups default #Add CUPS domain to start
/etc/init.d/hplip start #Run hplip.. never have to do this again after reboot Automatically starts on boot
/etc/init.d/cups start #Run cups.. never have to do this again after reboot Automatically starts on boot
|
Then in your browser, type this in the url bar
It should allow you to configure/add your printer. Deskjets use the hplip junk if I'm not mistaken. |
