And Now for My Next Frustration - The Printer



Since I am still stumped on the TV Tuner problem that I posted about earlier, I decided to start working on getting the printer up and running. I really thought that this would be a fairly easy one too, since it's just a simple old parallel port HP OfficeJet, which worked beautifully with CUPs back when I was running Mepis.

So anyway, I have a CUPS server running, the printer connected to the parallel port (/dev/lp0), of course, and the print driver set to hpijs.

When I do a test page (this is from the KDE Control Panel), a message pops up saying that the page was successfully sent to the printer. But, that is obviously false, as the printer does nothing at all. Is there anything else I need to install or configure to get this thing to work?
