Indeed the comments on this group and the hplip list have been quite helpful. The snmp use flag is required for a network printer (the wiki had this but I somehow missed it). The only problem on the gentoo end is that the ppd files are not put where hp-setup wants them. * For the printer not so bad, since hp-setup offers a manual specification ability. * For the fax, no manual specification is offer (I commented on this to the hplip list) so adding a symlink is necessary Thanks for your help. At this point I have printing (always did, but now the printer is using hplip) and scanning, the latter was the goal of the project. The fax is recognized by hp-setup, but a complaint is given and I am not a heavy fax user so I am please with the output. I am following up the fax issue on the hplip list. Question: Do you think the fact that the ppd files are not put in the right place for hplip is a bug I should file? thanks, allan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
