Hi everyone, I am still having problems with an Officejet 1770c on Dapper. There are 2 problems:
1. After default install of hplip 1.6.6 I get the text "unable to open the initial device, quiting". See below for full problem. I can get round the problem by changing device from parport to lpt, but then hp-toolbox does not work 2. Scanning - always had a problem in Ubuntu (breezy and dapper). I was running Suse 9.3 before and there was not a problem. Ubuntu would not see a scanner and dapper sees the scanner but hangs any app that tries to scan. Many thanks in advance for your help Regards Dan When I run hp-setup -a a page is printed with one line of text "Unable to open the initial device, quitting." Using gnome printer manager a right click and properties on the printer is very slow (about 2 minutes) and shows CPU usage at 100%. I have reinstalled cleanly twice. The job is left in the queue with status Stopped The output from hp-setup -a ================================================================ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/hplip-0.9.11$ sudo hp-setup -a Password: HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 0.9.11) Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 2.0 Copyright (c) 2003-6 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
