Hello! my system is:
kde 3.5.5 2.6.20-gentoo-r6 kernel cups 1.2.10-r1 hplip 1.7.4a-r1 firewall is disabled tmy printer ist an hp deskjet 6980 connect via ethernet/switch. using hp-setup/toolbox everything seems to work fine (printer is auto-detected in network and the device-uri is shown with the ip i find in my router/dhcp), but on the last page (where the "send testpage to printer"-checkbos is) i get an FAILED TO CONNECT TO PRINTER dialog. the hp device manger says device not found. scheck connection and power on device connection is fine. it got an ip from dhcp and was auto-detected. => so it is powered on ;) ppd file ist exactly mathcing my printer version. i managed to print the cups test page before i tried hplip using the localhost:631 cups-interface and a more generic ppd (as far as i remember it was just "hp deskjet series", was the onlyone cups provided so i didn't choose it. it was preselceted). so printing is generally possible. has anybody an idea how to solve that problem? thanks a lot in advance, and best regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
