Title: Toshiba 2595xDVD and HP 712C printing

Tom Bodine's solution to HP712C printing with Debian Linux

• The story of how I discovered this is here.
• I have a 2.4.19 kernel running. The config file from the source directory is here.
• I have CUUPS to manage my printers
• You can get the following from linuxprinting.org
  1. I downloaded pnm2ppa to use with ghostscript to make the printer print.
  2. I found the PPD at http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=pnm2ppa
  3. I found cupsomatic at http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html which has a link buried near the top which points to the actual cupsomatic script
• I put cupsomatic from www.linuxprinting.org in /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic.
• I put the PPD in /usr/share/cups/model/HP-DeskJet_710C-pnm2ppa.ppd.
• I browsed to http://localhost:631 to talk to CUUPS and added my printer
• I found a postscript file to print and printed it.

I am seeking work as a system administrator, system engineer or field engineer in southern california. For more information write me at hp712@tommythegeek.com or give me a call at 619-518-0878
