Getting printer to work?
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!

The first thing to do is get the network working from your live install.
The open a terminal type
apt-get update
apt-get install cups
this will update the repositories and install the latest version of cups.
You can then try the printer wizard again, if that ffails, open the browser, Iceweasel
and type in the following address:
http://localhost:631
Click on administration, the username and password are root and root.

http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi gives information on drivers for printers - HP will generally need hplip installed (don't know if it's on your knoppix CD)
