I am in a pinch here, hard drive crashed, so I am running Knoppix from a cd. I need to print something off the internet and I'm having trouble getting my printer to work.
The printer is an HP PSC 1210, plugged in via USB to my laptop. What I've done so far is in console did # /etc/init.d/cupsys start
Then ran add a printer wizard, it went fine, saw the printer connected to USB, but then I got the error that it couldn't find the driver. Error: "Unable to load the requested driver:
Unable to create the Foomatic driver [HP-PSC_1210,hpijs]. Either that driver does not exist, or you don't have the required permissions to perform that operation."
Is there a way I can download that driver to get my printer working? Or other ideas appreciated. Thanks!
