There's an issue printing to an 855 through the Barricade's print server, and their official response is to print with the 600 driver. The only 600 driver I could get to work in 8.0 was the one *from* HP. I'm not sure what rpm I got it from in 8.0, but I don't have it now in 8.1 and I haven't found it yet. - Theo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] Printer Issues.
I've had similar problems for most of our HP-printers as well and finally decided that it was time to give turboprint a chance. It integrates nicely into almost any printing environment (cups, lpr, lprng, ...) and offers printer drivers for every printer that I have come around so far. only bad thing: if you want to get maximum quality (photo printing) you either have to live with a footer saying "I was printed with turboprint" or you purchase it for EUR 19.95. I found it very worth the prize. you can get it from www.turoprint.de maybe that helps a bit ... greets udo On Mit, 2002-02-06 at 05:36, Theo Brinkman wrote: > I've just upgraded to 8.1, and I'm having printing issues again. > > The only driver I could get to work under Mandrake 8.0 for my setup (HP > DeskJet 855c slung off the print server of my SMC Barricade 7004ABR) was > the HP 600 driver labled as being from HP. > > Unfortunately, I'm not sure which package that came from, as successful > printing that time was the result of a long, and tortured night of > swapping back and forth between various printing systems (lprNG, CUPS, > LPR, etc...). > > Can anybody tell me what rpm I've got to install to get the HP drivers > *from* HP? > >- Theo > > > > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Printer Issues.
I've just upgraded to 8.1, and I'm having printing issues again. The only driver I could get to work under Mandrake 8.0 for my setup (HP DeskJet 855c slung off the print server of my SMC Barricade 7004ABR) was the HP 600 driver labled as being from HP. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which package that came from, as successful printing that time was the result of a long, and tortured night of swapping back and forth between various printing systems (lprNG, CUPS, LPR, etc...). Can anybody tell me what rpm I've got to install to get the HP drivers *from* HP? - Theo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
