Package: hplip Version: 2.8.2-1 Severity: important 2.8.* version of hplip fail to recognize an HP690C printer on parport0. Discussions on the hplip forum made suggestions but failed to solve the problem. The more recent 2.8.4 version was also tried to no avail.
Someone on Debian's list suggested trying 1.6.* from stable and this worked just fine. -- System[A Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (650, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-rt1-davidb (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hplip depends on: ii adduser 3.107 add and remove users and groups ii coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilities ii cupsys 1.3.7-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii hplip-data 2.8.2-1 HP Linux Printing and Imaging - da ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcupsys2 1.3.7-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libsane 1.0.19-6 API library for scanners ii libsnmp15 5.4.1~dfsg-6 SNMP (Simple Network Management Pr ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-8 SSL shared libraries ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-11 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-12 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii python 2.5.2-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-imaging 1.1.6-2 Python Imaging Library ii python-support 0.7.7 automated rebuilding support for P Versions of packages hplip recommends: ii cupsys-client 1.3.7-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii hpijs 2.8.2+2.8.2-1 HP Linux Printing and Imaging - gs ii hpijs-ppds 2.8.2+2.8.2-1 HP Linux Printing and Imaging - HP ii hplip-gui 2.8.2-1 HP Linux Printing and Imaging - GU ii openprinting-ppds 20080211-2 OpenPrinting printer support - Pos -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
