Hello all,
I have a new disk and installed CentOS there but I am unable to print. I thought the printer was having troubles because from the /var/log/cups/error_log everything appears to be working. The printer is not printing however. I attached the printer to a windoze 98 box and I could print fine. I had printing on my previous system(FC3) but this isn't working. If I can't print then I am dead in the water. From what I've read there are some contradictions the docs say that hpijs works with USB (and I think that's what FC3 used) but other docs say to use hpojs, but I don't see that in CentOS. I'm using KDE and the printer was config'd after the install completed. I turned on all the cups debugging. What other things can I try? Are there some raw commands I can send to the printer via echo or something like that? Is there a safe way to install hpojs on CentOS?
Thanks.

linuxprinting.org lists printers that work with Linux (USB or otherwise) There are few printers out there that do not work with Linux. Just because its works with Win box is not a guarantee that it will work with Linux box also. SO the first question is which printer is this?

The printer worked fine under FC3. The problem appears to be somewhere else. I think that the drivers are the problem. I finally got things working by hooking the printer up to a USB2.0 interface instead of 1.1 and ran ptal-init setup. I can now print once again. Someone must know what changed in the drivers to break USB 1.1
So I have no idea if it's cups, hpijs, hpoj, ptal, etc., etc.
I'm fairly certain it's not the kernel but it may be, perhaps it is a kernel/driver combo interaction problem.
Hope this helps someone else.
