Although printing from kmail succeeded once, now all jobs are reported as 'stopped' Test page from localhost:631 succeeds Test page from kprinter: Photosmart_C7100 "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" Test page from hplip fails Printerdrake says it uses GhostScript + hpijs (recommended) whereas hplip says foomatic + hpijs Manually set up printer on another box (working) shows Device: socket://192.168.0.3. Queue set up by hplip shows Device: hp:net/Photosmart_C7100_series?ip=192.168.0.3 Reset printer in Gimp - pointing to printer queue C7100 (set up by hplip) - succeeds service hplip status hpiod (pid 2279) is running... hpssd is stopped #Is this correct?
