What I did: deleted anything hplip related and anything that only roughly resembled what the "apt-get..." command in the ubuntu 6.06 web doc suggests and then run the respective "apt-get... command" once again, download anything freshly and then install cleanly the most recent version of hplip and... ...VOILA: hp-setup works, hp-makeuri is working, queues are created and printing is working! I did not try fax and scan yet, because I wanted to reserve some surprise for tomorrow ;-) Kind regards and many thanks for all the help I got Eberhard _______________________________________________ HPLIP-Help mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hplip-help
