I finally got cups downloaded but still have not been able to have theprinter recognized. Anyone there?

Go here, there are links to add the driver for your printer to cups;

You can also try under generic the pcl selection, your printer should support
it.

OK, this is freaking me out. I have downloaded all kinds of J**K and nothing seems to work. I am not even sure if cups is running right . It keeps asking me the same stupid questions, does not have the things I down loaded and still has only the limited drivers it had. The file system looks bloated with all kinds of stuff that I have no idea what it means or what it is.

aaaaaaaah

I have in /root/.packages/hplip-1.7.2/directory and in /usr/share/aplications hplip-1.7.2 .... I down loaded several ppd's, , , , don't know know what that is or where they are supposed to go. . Copied them into several places just to make sure. The "usb USBview information" tells me there is a printer on the usb device. I don't know what is up with cups tho. It doesn't do anything for me, neither does the install wizard. Neither of them says "hey lookie here". . . . Just the sameole sameole that was there before I downloaded everything everyone told me to do. I got a lot of suggestions, but I have never been much of an eggspert, but eventually I get thing working and don't even know why. Maybe I clogged the programing up? maybe I am not doing something right? maybe maybe maybe? Everything in Puppy has worked really well, but I need the printer in order to do my work.

Feedback?

I just installed Ubuntu on to my laptop....I know nothing of the codes spoken about previously so none of that really helped me out....

I have attempted to install HPLIP however it won't run it for some reason:

Could not open the file /home/tboggs/Desktop/hplip-2.7.9.run.

then it says something about binary...not a clue

Basically, I need to know how to fix it so I can use my HP D1320...All help is appreciated...

boggtj01,

i'm not sure if i'm understanding you correctly. are you saying that you've installed ubuntu, but the puppy hplip package here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 47&t=20495

doesn't work?

wouldn't ubuntu have a hplip package?

[boggtj01]

Sorry, the installed hplip does work I was attempting to upgrade it and that wouldn't work. But the current hplip doesn't have the correct driver for the HP d1320.
