I'm trying to get a HP 690C printer working on a woody machine, using CUPS. What's starnge is that CUSP sees the printer, and even knows what tyoe it is, but it's not working.
Here is some useful (I hope) info: Script started on Mon Jan 21 09:54:03 2002 teddy:~# dmesg Linux version 2.4.17 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.4 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Sun Jan 20 21:35:07 EST 2002 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000002fff0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000002fff0000 - 000000002fff3000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 000000002fff3000 - 0000000030000000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) On node 0 totalpages: 196592 zone(0): 4096 pages. zone(1): 192496 pages. zone(2): 0 pages.
