I have a HP printer too. I went into cups and looked for your printer, |
53 |
your model is in there. So, if you duplicate my USE flags, you should |
54 |
be able to find your printer in that LOOOOONG list of printers. |

I think ppds and hpcups is the key ones. I would at least start with |
57 |
those. |

Hope that helps. |
