On another system that has a Deskjet 5550 everything seems to work. hp-levels returns the correct information, hp-toolbox shows all the information, etc.
Also what is the best way to run the daemons? I'm thinking of creating a hplip user and have them run under that user. I'll then give that user r/w access to the printer device. Any suggestions on a better or more secure way? Any problems with this method? Thanks, -- Anish Mistry [EMAIL PROTECTED] AM Productions http://am-productions.biz/
