Re: [newbie] HP Deskjet 712C
Try setting it up as a different type of HP printer, say an HP660C for example. MY HP DJ610C is quite happy with Linux believing it is a 660c On Sat, 29 Apr 2000, you wrote: During setup, I could not get my printer to respond. It is a HP Deskjet 712C.

Try using the DrakConf icon on the KDE desktop. Enter the root password when prompted. A GUI should pop-up showing a load of packages that can be used to configure your system. Select the printer configuration button. Another window called "Local Printer Options" should appear. The queue name should be lp and the spool directory should be /var/spool/lpd/lp. Press OK. Another window will appear. Select the local printer button. Another window will appear called "Local Printer Device". If your printer is on LPT1: then the printer device is /dev/lp0. Press OK. A window will then appear showing all the various printer drivers. I use the "HP DeskJet 550C/560C/6XXC series" driver for my HP Desket 850C and it works fine, even in colour. The "HP DeskJet/DeskJet Plus" driver also works but only in black and white. I suggest you try one of these drivers. Press OK. A window will appear requesting more info eg. paper size = A4, eject page after job = selected, fix stair = selected, color depth option = 32. Press OK. At the next window you can print some test pages in ASCII and PostScript to see if your printer works. If the printer works then accept the settings and exit. If the above doesn't help you then maybe the info is useful to other people trying to setup HP DeskJet 850C printers.

You're unlucky. That printer wont work in linux, it is one of those called WinPrinters. You can't even print text. Anyway, it looks like you don't have parrallel port support in the kernel. You should compile your kernel with support for parrallel port, and maybe parport too. However, as I told you before, that printer is not going to work. -Mensaje original- De: _lee _kinkade [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviado el: Sábado, 29 de Abril de 2000 02:55 p.m. Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [newbie] HP Deskjet 712C During setup, I could not get my printer to respond.
