By "self-test" what do you mean? Not something started by a button on the printer presumably. The "Print test page" button in the CUPS web interface? I was going to suggest application/octet-stream, the same as John. Now all I can suggest is having a look at http://hplipopensource.com/node/332 There's a bunch of HP-specific commands, e.g. hp-check, that may be useful too. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/tech_docs/man_pages/index.html Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-12 20:00 *New date* Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
