You will still need the cupsys-server, cupsys-client, and pnm2ppa packages whichever method you choose One way is to use the package cupsomatic-ppd. Everything will work pretty much automagically. But this package is not updated and the drivers or ppds you get are old. The other way is to use foomatic, which is the new version of cupsomatic, but it requires more work to get it working. Instructions are: Download foomatic-db and foomatic-bin and their deps. Then as root run foomatic-compiledb -t ppd pnm2ppa this will generate the necessary file in /etc/foomatic/ppd/ Then make a link in /usr/share/cups/model/ to the file /etc/foomatic/ppd/HP-DeskJet_710C-pnm2ppa.ppd the command is ln -s /etc/foomatic/ppd/HP-DeskJet_710C-pnm2ppa.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/HP-DeskJet_710C-pnm2ppa.ppd Restart cups: /etc/init.d/cupsys restart Then you will be able to use the web interface for cups to get the printer configured.
