It is a PostScript printer and you don't need any driver at all for normal printing - only the right PPD file - that is all.
And the file can be found.... where? :-?
Somewhere on the CD which is supplied with the printer or somewhere on the Internet from HP ;-)
Of course I know that "somewhere" doesn't help you much and that searching HP's web site is just another dungeon...
Ok, I'll have a look around the CD. About searching their Moria mine... ugh.
I found a ppd in the CD; in the ".../Drivers/Win2K_XP_Vista/" directories there are a lot of *cab files, and expanding them with "cabextract" I got a HPC1510S.PPD file, which looks promising, but is useless. Creating a printer in cups with it results in a printer that uses the driver "Local System V Printer", with only two configurable options: Banners and Policies. I don't know if there is another file in some other cab archive. The best PPD file I found is this: /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP_Color_LaserJet_CP1510_Series-ps.ppd.gz that comes with "hplip-2.8.7-16.1..rpm. With that one the printer works fine in postscript mode, both from the usb cable or the network. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
