The Photosmart typically has photo cartridges and color/black. Is it possible that you don't have a black cartridge installed?
Also, look in /var/log/cups for messages. There must be something in the log files.
Do you have hplip installed. It gives you printer status information.
Thanks so much for some input! When first (1 month ago) plugged in, the kernal saw the printer right away. Named it correctly
as an HP 7700. Printed a test page from within the printer software that was auto installed. 2 mins later, it would not repeat that
same fuction.
Will install hplip
