What happens if under Device, you select: HP Printer (HPLIP) ? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Also, have a look at http://localhost:631/help/network.html for defining the |
| 34 |
path (for network printers). However, I don't want to send you off scent here |
| 35 |
because I have not set up a USB printer before, so I am not sure what steps |
| 36 |
ought to be followed (if udev rules are desired and what not). I would have |
| 37 |
thought that guidance in this |
| 38 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml#usb ought to help. |
