 |

Hi there,
I've installed CUPS and my printer in CUPS, but nothing happens when I try to print. Also nothing happens when I try:
echo "blabla" > /dev/lp0
what's wrong?

Hi there,
thanks for your answer - yes I'd setup my HP Laserjet 5p in CUPS. And I tried to send a Testsite with CUPS. It says all things are right, but my printer do nothing!? Any idea? Thx!

Just a thought...but hmmm afaik, Laserjet 5 isnt a postscript printer is it? I believe that u should emerge ghostscript if printing to a non-postscript printer...
Be aware, that even if ghostscript was installed before u installed cups, u MUST re-install ghostscript right after the cups-install.
Let us know

the hp laserjet 5p is NOT a postscript printer!
check out Foomatic Printer Support Database for HP LaserJet 5P for wich module to use in cups for printing on that printer.
i would recomend to download the recomended driver and then use the web interface of cups to configure that printer: | Code: | | wget --output-file=/usr/share/cups/model/HP-LaserJet_5P-ljet4.ppd "http://www.linuxprinting.org/ppd-o-matic.cgi?driver=ljet4&printer=HP-LaserJet_5P&show=0" |
or if you want, you could use the printer driver wich is in the portage: | Code: | | emerge net-print/hpijs |
and then just start cups: | Code: | | /etc/init.d/cupsd start |
to install the printer, point your browser to http://localhost:631/ and then install your printer (by downloading the ppd file for the hplj5p you should have a new driver for that printer).
cheers
