Not necessarily yet, as you only have an approximate driver - you're using '... 1100 ...' instead of '... 1050 ...'. What does 'lpstat -t -v' say right now? Per email yesterday, can you now install foomatic-rip, to get a ppd file for your 1050 printer. Tell cups-webadmin to use that instead of the 1100 one that it's currently using. You might need/want to stop then restart cups for it to fully pick up the changes. If still no-go then post error-log - just attach the full content (no need to edit-out the earlier-sent stuff). And, if still no-go then: do nothing just now til error-logs reviewed, please - don't go uninstalling things, etc. Subseq step may be to install hpijs, but leave off from that just now. > Today I have added the printer again (no hplip) with cups and ghostscript > installed and tried to print the test page. > > I have attached the error log file.

Yeah, it should be do-able. > Reagards, > Roy -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
