Has anyone been able to get an HP DeskJet 932C to work with cups on
testing? If so, how?
IIRC, this printer worked acceptably with cups on Mandrake 8 when I was
running that.
Here's what I've done so far:
I first installed only cups (cupsys and cupsys-client), using
http://localhost:631 to configure, but it wouldn't detect my parallel port.
I then proceeded to install cupsomatic and configure the printer with
lpadmin. lpadmin would set up the printer, but it would also print an
error message that read something like "lpadmin: add-printer failed:
resource not found on system" (it may've been a little different, I
haven't read it since last night) and I'd get stair-stepping text every
time I printed.
At this point I noticed (surprise, surprise) that I could now see my
parport with localhost:631 (although it appeared to detect it as a 930
instead of a 932). I couldn't however get any of the drivers to work
right. The closest one was, I believe, the cdj550 which printed flawless
color on the test page but b/w text went off the left side of the page.
I'm getting tired of piling useless rubbish paper beside my desk
(killing trees :-) and would like to just get the stupid thing
working... Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
