I then tried setting it up as a xerox 4900 post script printer (a driver I used to use for this printer under windows) again No test page or paper advance.
Under windows this printer required a special hp driver, because of its bidirectional functions, the driver had utilitys for cartridge alingment and such. not that it matters much. For the last several versions of MDK there was no special driver, just the one included nessicarry to get this printer functioning. I am not shure what the changes might have been for 9.0, but with a little help I am confident they could be resolved. I noticed that theres was also created a erros.log.O that contained some different log information. Would it be helpfull to see this log as well? > On Wednesday 30 October 2002 03:49 am, Till Kamppeter wrote: > I have tried setting this HP 820c printer up on a whole different computer, > Uniprocessor, with similar results. > > I editied my cupsd.conf to debug mode, cleared the log, and launched > printer drake.
