What about the cupsys-driver files for gimpprint?

I haven't done any cleaning up on printer drivers, so you probably don't need them all, but try getting cupsys-driver-gimpprint and cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data
I really don't know what to think. :cry:
I tried your advise, but it seems there is nothing to do: it still does not prints.
I tried even connecting the printer via the parallel port (just another try...) but - obviously - it wasn't useful. Of course, the printer is fully functional, as I dual boot with windows, and in windows I can print.
I tried to inspect the printing queue; there are only the test print jobs, spooled and terminated, not pending. Well, looking at the IPP log I can see, on the last row:
"job-state-reason: aborted-by-system"
but why??
Sorry, but can't think of much to try anymore as I don't actually run knoppix.
According to http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_pr...ylus_Color_670 it should work just fine.
You could still try apt-getting foomatic-db-hpijs and foomatic-filters-ppds and checking if the foomatic driver would work as mentioned in the link.
Well, thank you very much, indeed. I learned a lot from your advises, and I'll try to search in the site you reported. By the way, i'll never give up trying... there MUST be a way to get my printer working.
Again, thank you.
Printers are badly broken in 3.4 & 3.6. Like you I did an HD install from Knoppix 3.6. Then reverted to 3.3 when I could not get the printer to work. I downloaded the "fix-cups.sh" script referred to earlier in this thread and tried again. The script is a simple remove and re-install cupsys, but with the emphasis on gimpprint driver on the reinstall. It removed the broken cupsys OK, but failed on the re-install because I needed to run "apt-get update" first (took about 45 mins on a dial-up). I then ran the re-install scriptline manually (by the way, this is all as "root") in a terminal window (about 12 mins on a dial-up). As it progressed, it recommended some other packages, and I went back afterwards and installed the "gimpprint-docs" and "gimpprint-locales" as well. My Epson C70 has now installed perfectly using the gimpprint driver (it has a suffix which I think is 4.2.7 [I'm not on that machine at the moment]).Quote:

As an aside, I'm a fan of the KDE twin-panel file manager Krusader, that does not come with Knoppix. Having seen the ease with which "apt-get" installed this, after reloading cupsys, I am now a convert to Debian (from SuSE) and am busily converting others to Knoppix. The niggles like broken printers are a pain, but the ease of install and the wealth of open-source software that comes with it has prompted some incredulous "it can't be that easy" responses. Roll on Knoppix64!
:D :D YES!! IT WORKS!! :D :D
You're great! Finally I did it and now I am looking at my first printed page in linux... by a strange combination now my stereo is playing the 5th movimento of Beethoven's IX symphony. 8)
There is only a thing I didn't understand. I configured the printer via the GUI but it didn'work. Then, I tried reconfiguring it via the HTML interface (now it works, too!), and :idea: the printer started doing its job.
Thank you and all others who tried to help me.
Anyone have luck printing from KNOPPIX 3.6 2004.0816 to an HP Color LaserJet 3500?
TIA,
