Are your using HP printers, and if so, have you recently switched from |
| 36 |
using hpoj+hpijs to using the newer hplip package which is supposed to |
| 37 |
replace the old combination? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
If this is the case, we're having the same problem, which seems to be |
| 40 |
with hplip-0.9.7-r3. I haven't found a solution to the problem yet. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
According to the doc, you *must* have ppds in your USE flags for hplip |
| 43 |
to allow it to generate the .ppd files. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
FWIW, here are my USE flags for cups and hplip: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
net-print/cups-1.1.23-r7 -gnutls +nls +pam +samba +slp +ssl |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
net-print/hplip-0.9.7-r3 +X +cups +foomaticdb +ppds +qt +scanner +snmp +usb |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
hpijs blocks hplip, and I believe that (unfortunately) hpoj is now |
| 52 |
hard-masked, so it will be difficult to fall back to using the old |
| 53 |
(working) hpoj ptal interface. |
| 54 |
|
