Your printer is listed as officially supported by HP using free software (hplip suite). You also have technical support from HP if you're using HPLIP and ask HP through the hpinkjet.sf.net forums.thanks for your help! steef
hugo,i did what you advised. got hplip (last version) + hpdata + hp ppds from backports + lsb-base and an update of hpijs; this all compared with the standard-sarge_software.
and, indeed, as you suggested: hplip0.9.7 contains a driver for the psc1400 series.
so: i can print now: printer worls like a dream. i can copy now: works like a dream as well. but:i cannot (yet) scan and put the result of scanning as a (workable) file on one of my hd's.
maybe you can find some time to vadvise me on this topic too? thank you in advance, steef -- you don't need the weathermen to know the way the wind blows BOB DYLAN
