[gentoo-user] Best printer to use with Gentoo.

I've had no success getting my HP PSC 1610 Inkjet/Scanner connected to CUPS under Gentoo. Of course, there's no such thing as a best printer, but do any subscribers have recommendations for printers they've found easy to connect and use? Either inkjet or low-cost laser. Thanks Carl Adams

[gentoo-user] Re: CUPS finds printer disconnected.

with the same result. Not sure where to go from here, but it looks either as though CUPS is assuming an invalid directory structure, or doesn't know how to work with udev. Any further thoughts? Carl Adams. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
