[newbie] newbie-HP printer problems
Hello all, I have been trying to print in Linux 9.0. I am very new to this system. I have a HP Deskjet 812C printer. When I try to print or even test the printer in printer wizard it gives me an error message saying it needs the password. I have put in my root password but it doesn't accept it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much for your time. Brenda L. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Did you go exploring in the Mandrake Control Centre yet? Is your printer showing up for hardware? Another thing to try is to open up a browser, and type in one of the following: http://localhost:1/ https://localhost:1/ http://127.0.0.1:1/ https://127.0.0.1:1/ ...which will bring up Webmin - a browser based interface for system settings and configuration - and go to the hardware section and see if the printer is listed there... ..then y'all can come back and tell us the good news!

RE: [newbie] hp printer
When you try to print a test page, does the light on the printer blink like it's communicating? If so, make sure you have the "Send EOF" option selected. I have an HP Deskjet 855c and I have the LF-CR/LF option and the Send EOF option selected and it works fine.

Re: [newbie] hp printer
I have a HP 720c printer myself. The main problem is that HP uses a proprietary driver that is not supported in linux for the 700 and 800 series printers. There iIS a solution though. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnm2ppa/ This is a website that is beiung maintained by a guy who has written a linux driver to support these printers. You have to install the pnm2ppa and rhs-printfilters rpm for linux mandrake. Currently there is not a version available for Mandrake 7.1 but there are ones for mandrake 7.0. Just download the rpms and then install them with rpm -Uv rpm-name-here then use printtool from a command line. This must be run within xwindows. It will bring up a window that allows you to add a printer, etc. Follow the instructions and all "should" go well. If it dosent feel free to email me or you can make a post on the sourceforge site. One note. the Fast Text Dithering box MUST be unchecked for this driver to work. Like i said, if you have any problems feel free to email me and i will domy best to help you out. Ian K.

Re: [newbie] hp printer
What driver are you using? This thing should work with the DeskJet 550c driver. have you tried that? --Original Message Text--- From: bradc C Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 11:11:08 -0700 Hello Everyone, I have a HP DeskJet 712c, and I cant get it to work.
