There's an old hp-laserjet-2100m still going strong here: works completely fine with just cups - we don't use any of the hplip stuff. So, I might not be able to address the exact error-messages that you're seeing, directly: but, have you checked some of the basic things, as follows. Is cups running: $ ps auxwww | grep -i cups $ If so, can you connect to its web-admin interface via a browser: default is/was http://127.0.0.1:631/ ? If necessary, check cups.conf to see if that address/port is overridden. What output do you get from: $ lpstat -t -v $ If you have lprng installed, then what do you see from: $ lpq $ lpq -a $ lpq -la $ Regards, akhiezer -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
