Hi Raghu, thank your for your response. I have big troubles with the PostScript driver also, when I print pdf files the printer get locked up regularity. When monitoring with Wireshark it shows CRC errors. But the printer is just locked up internally with the print job. It cost me a lot and a lot of time to debug this problem to an error in the internal postscript interpreter of the printer. But you cant get more info from the internal printer systems. So I started to use the hpijs driver with has the gs postscript interpreter on the computer itself, so I can do better debugging.
I do have the PostScript drivers installed like this, but as sad it does not work perfectly: zcat /usr/share/ppd/openprinting/HP/color_laser/HP_Color_LaserJet_8500.ppd.gz > ~/HP_Color_LaserJet_8500.ppd sudo lpadmin -x HP_Color_LaserJet_8500_PS sudo lpadmin -p HP_Color_LaserJet_8500_PS -v hp:/net/HP_Color_LaserJet_8500?ip=192.168.1.63 -P ~/HP_Color_LaserJet_8500.ppd sudo lpadmin -p HP_Color_LaserJet_8500_PS -E -u allow:all -D "HP Color LaserJet 8500 Postscript" -o PageSize=A4 sudo lpadmin -d HP_Color_LaserJet_8500_PS rm ~/HP_Color_LaserJet_8500.ppd The printer is PCL 5c compatible but I cant find a good working driver for it (PCL 6 is great stuff) I tried this driver to see if it could work, but is does not (no duplex, color/gray and a lot of other options missing: sudo lpadmin -x Generic_PCL_5c_Printer sudo lpadmin -p Generic_PCL_5c_Printer -v hp:/net/HP_Color_LaserJet_8500?ip=192.168.1.63 -P /home/$USER/Generic-PCL_5c_Printer-cljet5.ppd sudo lpadmin -p Generic_PCL_5c_Printer -E -u allow:all -D "Generic PCL 5c Printer" -o PageSize=A4 sudo lpadmin -d Generic_PCL_5c_Printer However the main problem still exist, when printing files the system and or printer will sometimes lock-up due to errors. So I can't print. I am really hoping we can figure things out and find a nice solution.
