------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-26 06:20 ------- I ran printerdrake in expert mode, it autodetected the printer without problems, but only suggested this driver. I thought printerdrake was also supposed to find the rpms and install them automatically for me. I do have libgimpprint1 and cups-drivers in my rpm repository [I mirror cooker-main locally], but only libgimpprint1 is installed. As a matter of fact, I downloaded a new version of the printer packages just a few hours ago. printer-filters-1.0-87mdk printer-testpages-1.0-87mdk printer-utils-1.0-87mdk foomatic-filters-2.9-20030123.3mdk gimpprint-4.2.5-1mdk libgimpprint1-4.2.5-1mdk Below is the output from printerdrake stored in /var/log/messages when I ran it yet again in order to set up the printer. One thing that bothers me about printerdrake is that neither in the expert mode nor in the normal mode does it list my printer as being installed. ### Program is starting ### running: /bin/rpm > /dev/null -q foomatic installed packages foomatic running: /bin/rpm > /dev/null -q gimp running: /bin/rpm > /dev/null -q foomatic printer-utils printer-testpages nmap scli gimpprint installed packages foomatic printer-utils printer-testpages nmap scli gimpprint running: /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups status running: update-alternatives > ARRAY(0x8193c1c) --display lpr running: update-alternatives > ARRAY(0x8193c1c) --display lpq running: update-alternatives > ARRAY(0x8193c1c) --display lprm running: update-alternatives > ARRAY(0x8193c1c) --display lp running: update-alternatives > ARRAY(0x8193c1c) --display cancel running: update-alternatives > ARRAY(0x8193c1c) --display lpstat running: update-alternatives > ARRAY(0x8193c1c) --display lpc running: /usr/bin/killall -HUP devfsd running: lpstat > ARRAY(0x8193c1c) -v running: rmmod lp running: rmmod parport_pc running: rmmod parport_probe running: rmmod parport running: /sbin/modprobe parport_pc running: /sbin/modprobe lp running: /sbin/modprobe parport_probe running: /sbin/modprobe -n parport_probe running: rmmod parport_probe running: ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 running: /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups status running: lpadmin -p Printer -E -v file:/dev/lp0 -m deskjet.ppd.gz -D HP DESKJET 830C -o ColorModel=CMYK -o Resolution=300dpi -o PageSize=Letter -o InputSlot=Tray -o MediaType=Plain running: lpstat > ARRAY(0x8193c1c) -v ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-30 21:40 ------- Install also foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine. Then printerdrake should list all printers. The automatic package installation is fixed in the drakxtools-9.1-0.19mdk. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] description: I am running current cooker and I have set up my HP Deskjet 832C as an available printer. I was given the choice between HP Deskjet Series CUPS v. 1.1 HP New Deskjet Series CUPS v. 1.1 and I chose the former since it seemed to be the default. I also chose the colormodel to be CMYK because it was the default. Then I printed the test page and all the black colors (the borders and the text) were blue instead of black. The resolution in the colored graphics seemed to be much below the 300 DPI that I had specified. I tried to switch to a grayscale colormodel and printed the test page, but it looked the same as with the CMYK colormodel.
