Thanks guys, but I think that I only use the hpjis driver rather than the full hplip package. This is because the printer is connected to this printer server: http://support.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/2516/ which works with lpd://ip_address I remember running the hp-config or some such script some years back. It did not find the printer, or server, or ever configured anything. It only tried to connect to USB devices. OK, I just ran it and it won't find the printer. I think hplip will not run on lpd:// protocol, which is strange because hpijs works fine - well, was working fine. hp-setup fails for my network server and defaults to USB: === # hp-setup -i 10.10.10.4 HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.11.10) Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0 Copyright (c) 2001-9 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

No matter what I set in the application my printer (HP 930c) will only print in portrait and chop off half the page. :-( In FF I see buttons for portrait and landscape in the 'print setup' and 'print preview' menus. You don't have those buttons? Yes I do. I select landscape and get portrait coming out. :-( Also, in a full KDE desktop I select the hplip tooltray applet (or whatever its called) and also change in there the settings to print landscape. Still no success. Only in libreoffice I can print in landscape a test page, after I change the libreoffice print manager settings, but what I want is to print one of the google maps in landscape from a browser and can't do it! Even when I print in pdf from the browser (the pdf is landscape) I can't thereafter print it as such. It keeps coming out as portrait. I stopped printing for now because I'm running out of paper! :-/ -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
