Then http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/combined.html is not clear. In particular it is confusing compared with http://hplip.sourceforge.net/tech_docs/hpijs.html which explains why plain printing works for Paul van der Vlis. Please add a footnote for "Parallel" which explains what "Parallel Yes/No" actually means like for example: --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Parallel No" means that even if the device may have a parallel port, HPLIP does not support it (in particular not for "Scan", "Photo", "Fax", "Copy", and "Services/Status"). Nevertheless plain printing using the HPIJS driver with the generic "parallel" CUPS backend may work, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/tech_docs/hpijs.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- > On 7/18/07, Paul van der Vlis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Johannes Meixner schreef: > > > On Jul 18 13:23 Paul van der Vlis wrote (shortened): ... > > > > I used the normal parallel port (no HPlip) and a "ljet4" driver. > > > > This worked. > > > > > > I don't understand what you did because according to > > > http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/laser.html > > > the LaserJet 2300 has no parallel port support. > > > > This is wrong, the printer has a paralel port.
