Did it work?

The printer is connected to my wife's laptop.

I had downloaded to my laptop and just copied the PET, plus the legacy version (just in case), and the foo over there.

I ran the PET but as I recall I need to reboot for CUPS changes to be handled properly - so I am doing that now.

I was uncertain if the foo was needed so I left that out on the first pass.

EDIT

When I send a Test Page:

Deskjet 1000 j110 Series spits out a blank page.

Deskjet 1100 hpijs 3.10.4.16 causes the printer to be stopped.

Deskjet 1100C - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.3 no error but job disappears.

Do I need the foo, or might that break something?

What Puppy version are you using?

Where did you find HPIJS 3.10.4.16?

I have a HP J3640 which worked fine in Puppy 3.01 but when I used the same driver file ( hpijs, 3.9.12.9 ) with Puppy 5.2.5 I get just a page of ASCII text when it should print a picture.

The printout starts out with %PDF-1.3 and think it should be Postscript but I may be wrong.

I was running the test with ABI Word by the way.

Thanks, Jerry

For Puppy 525, you should be reading here and getting the hplip_print-3.11.7.pet .

You may need a fresh Puppy install to remove the old driver package before you install the new one.

BTW, someone else reported problems with printing graphics from Abiword. Can you print a plain text document? Can you print a page from your web browser?
