Which driver did you select? I have the HP 890C and ended up using the
550cUP driver. One word of caution, do not change the default printer
(spooler ?) name ( ie. lp to lp1 ) because when I tried to print from
Nutscrape it came back with an error that it couldn't find the print
spool lp . Once I went back into DrakConf and REsetup the same printer
but did not change the default name all was fine. I'm sure that there is
a setting in Nutscrape I could have easily changed but that did it for
me.
