I hate to jump on your thread, but please let me know if you get this solved. Also, I'm responding both to you and the list because lately none of my posts seem to make it to the list. I have a HP 712c, and I haven't been able to get it to work in SuSE since 7.3. However, my situation is that my printer is shared through a router, which may complicate things. Thanks, Mike ----------------------------------------------------- Cleary_Mike@emc.com ----------------------------------------------------- Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis [mailto:dlbt@starhub.net.sg] Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 8:11 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] HP710c inkjet I need some help on my old HP710c color printer, it was working fine under 8.0 but I am unable to set it up in 8.1. My understanding is 8.1 switched to CUPS and the support to 'windoz' printer is not as friendly?? Any help appreciated, thank you.

I got the HP710c work correctly under 8.0, which don't use CUPS, so may someone help me out on how to switch out from CUPS? I have a USR router with print server (ADSL), my experience is 'windoz' printer don't work with it, I got a HP5P connected, but only can print from windoz pc with some special driver :( I never able to get HP710c to setup through the print server. :( If anyone know how to use this print server (eg: which port, how to config, etc) please guide me. Thank you. Dennis

If you provide more details on your configurtation and a full description on what the problems are I maybe able to help. General comments like "Cups doesn't work" are impossible to respond to with any real details on how to fix the problem. Firstly I would recommend you update to the latest SuSE CUPS, details can be found here. http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/jsmeix_print-cups-testversion-81.html Also I recommend that you generate new ppd drivers from www.linuxprinting.org http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=61472 CUPS has some very good debugging logs, /var/log/cups/ You can change the debug level in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (approx line 165) but do not use "debug2" as you will be flooded with messages and will not be able really identify the problem. The default "info" level is the best to start with and if there is insufficient details and only then increase to the "debug" level. You will have to restart cups each time you change the cupsd.conf file. The other thing I found is to rename the log files before restarting cups. Cups will then start with a new set of logs to work with, otherwise you have to wade through miles of debug data to find anything. The other thing to keep in mind is YaST is all right for initial configuration but once you have configured a printer a lot of the configuration menus dissapear. If you encounter this problem you are best to use the web interface otherwise you will be muching around forever and not achieving a thing. http://localhost:631 -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
