List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all. I recently switched to Cups from lpd in hopes of better functionality. However I am having a few problems. I currently have an HP-DeskJet400. According to linuxprinting.org, that printer works perfectly with Cups and the asociated foomatic scripts (foomatic-gswrapper, and foomatic-rip). I installed these scripts and put symlinks in /usr/lib/cups/filter so cups could find them. I also reconfigured Cups via the web interface to use the Hpijs/foomatic driver. I also installed the most current ESP-Ghostscript from ftp.easysw.com. However, after doing all this, I tried lpr test.txt (a file I created) and I get no output from the printer. And in the rare instances where I do get output it is unreadable. Am I missing something here? Should I have done something I didn't? I also checked /var/log/cups/errorlog, and there didn't seem to be any problem. All the filters seem to have started with no problems what so ever. Currently running Slackware-9.0 with Cups-1.1.20RC2, kernel-2.4.20. Note I also downloaded the ppd from linuxprinting.org which was indicated to work with the Deskjet-400. Anyone have any ideas on this one? Thanks!
