I have just upgraded to Debian "etch" Linux, and after three days of searching for how to get my HP Deskjet 722C to print again, I have finally found success. Here's what I did (except for what didn't work ; - ) . . .
I downloaded HP-DeskJet_722C-pnm2ppa.ppd from http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=pnm2ppa then copied it to /etc/cups/ppd Visited http://localhost:631 and chose "add printer" Rather than choosing a listed printer, I browsed to /etc/cups/ppd/HP-DeskJet_722C-pnm2ppa.ppd I printed a test page and Voila! It worked! : - ) Description: HP Deskjet 722C Location: Make and Model: HP DeskJet 722C Foomatic/pnm2ppa (recommended) Printer State: processing, accepting jobs, published. Device URI: parallel:/dev/lp0 Apparently, the problem was just that the driver for this particular "Windows" style of printer was not already included with my cups installation. -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/29050 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
