This is very kind, I would +</I>><i> almost go crazy when attempting to understand. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> The printer did... somewhat worked and somepoint before. It would +</I>><i> print one page, then stop. It was impossible to cancel completely a +</I>><i> task in the printer list, and if I'm not wrong, it seemed +</I>><i> impossible to empty the printer spooler. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Usually we print using the usual tools offered by KDE or standard +</I>><i> GTK software. I mea, we used to print using Firefox, Adobe Reader, +</I>><i> Okular, +</I>><i> +</I>><i> System-config-printer is the one with who I interacted most of the +</I>><i> time, but using HPLIP did not make any difference. Printing a test +</I>><i> page using HPLIP would eventually make literally crash/panic my +</I>><i> printer. +</I> +Okay, I have that too - it's just another front-end to CUPS, so it +shouldn't make any difference. + +><i> > If you run CUPS (go to <A HREF="http://localhost:631/">http://localhost:631/</A> in your browser) and +</I>><i> > add a printer, what steps are you taking and what errors are you +</I>><i> > getting? Can you print a test page? +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I had to enter the user root and it's password to add a new +</I>><i> printer. Selecting "Find a printer" did not make him find one, but +</I>><i> using "Add a printer" made him detect twice (?) the HP Photosmart +</I>><i> printer. Two different names have been found, I selected the one +</I>><i> that was not already added. I then selected the CUPS+Gutenprint +</I>><i> model. The other one that was already installed uses the hpcups +</I>><i> model. +</I> +The CUPS+Gutenprint model - is it the Photosmart 7150 driver? There's +some info here that suggests using a different driver might work, but +it could be out of date: + +<A HREF="http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-PhotoSmart_7150">http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-PhotoSmart_7150</A> + +Otherwise it's mostly as I expected (CUPS doesn't find my network +printer either, I have to add it and then add the IP address). + +What connection method are you using? I have two iterations of my +Photosmart C6180 set up; one using the <A HREF="socket://">socket://</A> connection and one +using hp:/net/Photosmart_C6100_series?ip=192.168.1.4. Both appear to +work fine. + +><i> But when running a test page printing on those two, both of them +</I>><i> print a big black square on the page (emptying at the same time the +</I>><i> black ink cartridge). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Deleting and readding the printer does not solve the issue. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> No errors have been encountered while performing these steps. +</I> +It's a mystery still!
