Hi All,
I'm having problems with getting my HP DeskJet 895C printer to
work. It is connected with a usb cable. I have, I think anyway,
all the appropriate usb modules (ehci, uhci, usblp, and usbcore)
loaded in the 2.6.8 kernel I'm using, and I'm running sarge(upgrade
from woody). I also have CUPS and the HP drivers "hpijs" and "hpoj"
installed. I can log onto the CUPS admin page and work with it so
CUPS seems to be installed correctly. However, I cannot get the
computer to find the printer. I know the printer works as I just
unplugged it from another computer and used the same usb cable for
both hookups.
Anyone have any good ideas for troubleshooting this? Being a newbie
to Linux I'm at the end of my own ideas as to where to go from
here. I have run the "/etc/init.d/hpoj setup" command and it scans
for, but does not find the printer. I have the .ppd file for the
printer installed in the /usr/share/cups/model/ directory. The
/proc/bus/usb/ directory is empty. When I tell CUPS to look to usb
interfaces for the printer, no matter what usb interface # I have
used, the error log tells me the device can't be found. When I run
"gs -h" the "ijs" device is listed in the output.
Try installing hotplug
