Thanks. I will look for the hpiod backend when I get back to my computer. > HPLIP installs a backend (hp://) for use in CUPS.

More specifically, I'm looking for a rational basis for that assurance. To that end, I'm looking for evidence that what I have done so far, following directions at http://hplip.sf.net/ , has changed my system in a good way.

Sarcasm is soooo tempting here, but it's rude to tease someone who is being helpful. The definition of "a very simple process" varies from person to person. I am often amazed by what some people regard as very simple and what they don't. The person who first installed Linux on my computer spent hours on what he expected to take a few minutes. Though I am trying to get better, I am not now a *competent* sysadmin. When I installed a distro on my own, it took me days. The one I finally got to work, I had to re-install several times. All that said, the tarball seems to be well done. There is hope that what I have done is correct and that all that is left is to get the PSC and tell CUPS about it. > Michael Hennebry wrote: > > On Wed, 17 May 2006, Aaron J Albright wrote: > > > >> Both of these printers are supported, as long as all of the requirements > >> for HPLIP are installed and running.
