Near the bottom you'll see the PPD-O-Matic. Select your printer, for example, "HP DeskJet 932C" and hit the "Generate PPD file" button. Save the result to your system as a text file in the directory /usr/share/cups/model. At the top of the file will be a line that tells you what to name the file. In my case that was HP-DeskJet_932C-hpijs.ppd. I don't believe the name is critical, as long as you give it the ".ppd" extension, but use the recommended name if possible. Also note the field "*ModelName:" in the PPD file. You'll use that in #5. Also in oyur summary, step 2 needs an install for foomatic too other wise it won't work. I struggled on this just about a week ago to get my HP 3820 going. Now it's nice rolling along :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
