I've just hit the point where my frustration and inexperience overcome
my pride and innovative ability, in trying to get my printer working.
linuxprinting.org seems to be the main authority and source/link to
related software, but no matter what I've tried I've been met with
failure. I'm trying to get my HP Deskjet 3820 to work with my RedHat 8
installation. Native redhat doesn't even get close when it comes to
configuring the printer -- thinks its a 950C or something, though it
supposedly does pick the hpijs driver which is reported to be the most
appropriate for my printer as well. Foomatic looks like the simplest
solution, but after installing cups and foomatic I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] iacov]# foomatic-configure -s cups -n DJ3820 -c file:/dev/lp0
-p HP-DeskJet_3820 -d hpijs-rss -o PageSize=A4
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
Could not set up/change the queue "DJ3820"!
Here's the info from foomatic-configure O | less:
<printer>
<id>HP-DeskJet_3820</id>
<make>HP</make>
<model>DeskJet 3820</model>
<functionality>A</functionality>
<driver>hpijs-rss</driver>
<autodetect>
<!--no known parport probe information--></autodetect>
<drivers>
<driver>hpijs</driver>
<driver>hpijs-rss</driver>
</drivers>
</printer>
Any tips or ideas are appreciated
