Hi Don / Aaron
Tried Don's sugestion, but had an error when running hp-check.
Because it appeared I was using an old version, I found an rpm for 1.7.1 on the
net for suse 10.2 64. After installing though I still cannot get the printer to
work.
Here's some more information, still mentions broken pipe though. Using hp-check
shows a missing dependency ( libnetsnmp-devel ), does this still have to be
satisfied even when I installed using an rpm?
