Printing however, fails. it does everything right except no output or response from printer. spooling completes almost immediately, and the job is marked as completed. What am I doing wrong??
Go to this page and download the PPD file and on this page use the instructions for the install with cups. On the setup page start with step 2 coping the file to the /usr/share/cups/model/ directory for step 3 you need to /etc/init.d/cupsys restart to restart for step 4 you should cut'n'paste the instructions into a console window (clam shell icon on desktop) as root step 5 is fairly straight forward configure step6 always fails for me but my printer still works you may be able skip it if printing a test page from cups works properly I usually skip the rest as the printer is working properly at this point. On this page there is a link to a couple of Debian packages that you have to install (apt-get install hpoj hpoj-xjopanel) as well you should probably do this before the setup of the printer.
