Hi all,
I'm having trouble setting up my HP printer using hp-setup. I'm trying to do a fluxbox install on a minimal Ubuntu 8.04.2 LST. All's going well exept for the printer setup.
I've downloaded hplip-3.9.4b.run and started it doing
sh hplip-3.9.4b.run
All went well, until the setup process started. No printers could be detected, and I was advised to run hp-setup manually. I did just that, and a screen popped up. I selected the appropriate configuration being Parallel Port (LPT), and again, no printers were detected. I checked the "Hide Advanced Options" box, chose Manual Discovery and added /dev/parport0, the device to choose as seen in the result of
lpinfo -v
It is stated there on line 4 that my printer, a DESKJET 610C, is on device /dev/parport0. But still no luck; hp-setup was unable to detect any printers. I've attached a screenprint to clarify things.
Or am I mistaken?
