I have installed hpijs, which is used by CUPS - is this what you were suggesting?Hi Charles, maybe this (taken from one of my previous posts) can help you solve your problem?
For the benefit of future on-lookers: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yes: get rid of foomatic-filters-ppds and install foomatic-db-hpijs foomatic-hpijs and (maybe) cupsys-bsd Ennio-Sr :-)
HTH Regards, Ennio.
the packages I was talking about are named (and 'apt-gettable'): foomaic-db-hpijs foomatic-hpijs cupsys-bsd (I've installed this one, but I'm not sure it is essential).
I was having problems with a Deskjet930C (same family as yours): could print from all applications except OOo. After sending a post to the list a few weeks ago I found somewhere about changing the <foomatic-filtes-ppds> for the two listed above. In this way I solved my problem :-)
Cheers, Ennio.
Oops ... My fault ;( foomatic-hpijs doesn't exist: it's simply "hpijs" (perhaps I'd drunk too-much wine when I wrote that ;) ).
Anyway: the foomatic packages which result as 'installed' at present in my box are: $ dpkg -l |grep foomatic
ii foomatic-db 20050118-1 linuxpr..ng.org printer sup. - database ii foomatic-db-engine 3.0.2-20050114 linuxpr..ng.org printer sup. - programs ii foomatic-db-hpijs 1.5-20050118-1 linuxpr..ng.org printer sup. - database ii foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20050114 linuxpr..ng.org printer sup. - filters
Then, of course, there is 'hpijs' and any other packages required by
those listed above (if, after installation, it still doesn't work, do a:
$ apt-cache show pkg_name
for each of the above listed packages and verify that you aren't missing
any required pkg.
I've checked and none appear to be missing
Well, I removed foomatic-filters-ppds using dpkg and restarted cupsys and the problems were still there :(How do I change foomatic-filters-ppds for foomatic-db-hpijs?
You have simply to remove this pkg: if you have all those listed above (and any missing dependency), then you restart cupsys and hopefully you'll be done :-)
Regards,
Ennio.
Printing direct still produced no result and printing to file produced a monochrome output.
BTW, to get round this problem, I print by exporting to PDF and using XPDF or GV to actually print the file
