I've been trying to set up my HP Deskjet_1000_J110 which is recognised by jessie, but when I print a test page it does it with no problem, but when I try to print a letter from libreoffice, it just churns out blank pages. So I've downloaded hplip-3.15.11 and tried to run it to install it, but it is consistently failing at this point - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- hplip-install[17648]: info: :[01mENTER ROOT/SUPERUSER PASSWORD[0m hplip-install[17648]: info: :[01m-----------------------------[0m error: Password incorrect. 2 attempt(s) left. error: Password incorrect. 1 attempt(s) left. error: Password incorrect. error: 3 incorrect attempts. (or) Insufficient permissions(i.e. try with sudo user). --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- When I set up this 64-bit machine I allowed the system to make me superuser as part of the setup, but when I enter my password it is consistently failing to recognise me as superuser. The only way that I can install ~/Downloads/hplip-3.15.11.run, actually the command is - ╭──── │sh hplip-3.15.11.run ╰──── is by prefacing it with 'sudo' and then it fails to install the printer as 'user'. How then can I install hplip-3.15.11 as user please? And then get it to print things out properly? Thanks Sharon. -- A taste of linux = http://www.sharons.org.uk TGmeds = http://www.tgmeds.org.uk Debian 8.0, fluxbox 1.3.7, emacs 24.5.1
