I can't get my HP DeskJet D2345 (USB) to work on my CentOS 5.3 machine.
It'll work on another machine (with Fedora 7).
I compared the installation details (in CUPS <A HREF="http://localhost:631">http://localhost:631</A>) -
seems that Cent does not have the driver. On the F7 machine, the device
is "D2345 (HP D2300 series)" and the driver is "HP DeskJet D2300
Foomatic/hpijs". When I try to config my Cent machine for this printer,
I don't see that driver anywhere in the list.
I searched cups.org for D2345 and D2300 - no joy.
Can I merely copy some file (the driver?) to the Cent machine? (If so,
where would I find it?)
Or, how do I get this printer to work with CentOS 5.x?
* Details *
On the Cent box, I tried using the "HP DeskJet" (generic?) driver. But,
when I tell it to print (in an app or even a test page from cups), the
computer seems to go thru the motions, but the printer doesn't respond
at all (no noises, nothing). Indeed, cups even states that the job is
completed.
When I plug the printer into the Cent box, the message log reports:

uhci_hcd and address 7

When I tell CUPS to print a test page, several lines are issued in the
CUPS log; here are a few:
