can't get printer to work after dist upgrade
Hello,
Yesterday, I did a dist upgrade from lenny to squeeze.
I edited sources.list, changes lenny to squeeze everywhere, and then did
aptitude update
aptitude install apt dpkg aptitude
aptitude full-upgrade
I also installed a lot of upgrades to packages, as suggested by synaptic.
Everything seems OK, except that I can't get my printer to work.
The printer is a HP Laserjet 1005 MFP, which can print, copy and scan,
and is connected to the computer via USB.
To get the printer to work in lenny, I did the following:
wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
cd foo2zjz
make
make install
make install install-hotplug
make install cups
/etc/init.d/cups restart
When I noticed that the printer was not working in squeeze, I tried
cd foo2zjz
make uninstall
and then doing the above steps again.
I also tried removing the printer in CUPS and adding it again.
I notice one difference between lenny and squeeze:
In squeeze, when I attach the printer's USB cable xsane automatically
starts up – this did not happen in lenny.
Any ideas?
John
