Hello,
I tried setting up my HP laserjet 5m printer using the printer wizard where everything seems to go smoothly. The printer is detected correctly. However, when I try to print a test page, i see the "processing job" report on the printer screen, but nothing is printed.
I've tried both of the printer drivers that are displayed, (foomatic + Postscript) and (foomatic + hpijs). The hpijs driver doesn't even get the printer to display the above message on the printer.
This is using CUPS.
I've also tried starting cupsd from the console, as per another thread, but I get a message "child exited with status 1!"
This is on a Dell optiplex gx1 P-III 450 parallel port attached local printer.
thank you,
Joel
