As I said in the initial message I can print normally without any inconvenient. What I've seen is that I have two different devices in /dev related to the parallel port. crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 2005-02-26 07:43 /dev/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 2005-02-26 07:43 /dev/lp1 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 2005-02-26 07:43 /dev/lp2 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 2005-02-26 07:39 par0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 2005-02-26 07:39 par1 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 2005-02-26 07:39 par2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root lp 8 2005-12-28 11:42 unknown-parallel0 -> /dev/lp0 As I can see from dmesg output, the printer is recognized correctly. Although parport0 appears here, it doesn't exist in /dev . parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP] parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 690C lp0: using parport0 (polling). (Some minutes later...) I've been searching for a while and I've found a forum thread [1] with a similar problem. Just creating a new device node the problem gets fixed: mknod -m 666 /dev/parport0 c 99 0 Now hp-setup works fine, but hp-clean and hp-align doesn't seem to work :( Using device: hp:/par/DESKJET_690C?device=/dev/parport0 warning: No status available for device. Performing type 0, level 1 cleaning... error: Cleaning not needed or supported on this device. Is it impossible? :S Thank you very much. Julen.
