Also check www.linuxprinting.org, a lot of printers have detailed instructions on which driver/ppd/whatever you need and where to get it -- Thomas Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] +64211031910 == Mozilla Firefox: Take back the web www.mozilla.org/products/firefox -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Finally, the bell rings.
Hi all to-day I re-compiled the kernel to enable PCSPKR and USB printer. 1 - the system bell works but as root only. Likely a matter of permissions, but I do not know where to look for; 2 - the printer is correctly detected, but when I try to set it up using cups I see no printer modules. The foomaticdb is installed, but the list of printers all have .xml extension. Bye emilio P.S. I am coming from a SuSE distro and there all the printer modules are listed in cups. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Bye emilio After emerging hplip you will notice info re: ppds. If I'm not mistaken, emerging hplip without the ppds USE flag will not create the ppd files needed. Once you emerge hplip with the ppds USE flag the ppd files will be created. Then when you go to set-up your printer in CUPS, your printer will be listed. I'm not sure if PSC 1410 is listed, checking hp.com I noticed that the driver file (winxp) for PSC 1410 and 1510 is the same file. If 1410 isn't listed try the 1510.

HTH I looked in mine and it goes from 1310 to 1600. You can dig around on either the HP site or Cups site and get the exact one or one that is really close. It will tell you where to put it to so it will show up. I had to do that with my HP DeskJet 3820 at first. It's just a text file that gives cups all the options for the printer. Oh, in my USE line I have hpijs and ppds. I think that is all I changed on mine. If you change yours, do a emerge -Nvp world to recompile with those options. Hope that helps. If you need me to I may can dig around and find that file for you. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
