driver no longer working

Can you download the beta version of Edgy/6.10, boot the live CD and try to print from that session? This CD contains the final Gutenprint 5.0.0.

While testing I had a hardware failure trying to solve it I've fried my K7.

Back now with AMD 2X :-)

Finishing the test the recommended hp laserjet 2p works like it used to with
edgy.

(My dapper has two choices for the same printer hp laserjet IIp and hp
laserjet 2p, only IIp can be installed 2p gives an error messages)

Thanks for the quick response !!

Thank you for your info about the LaserJet 2P/IIP.

Can you post the output of

cat /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport*/autoprobe*

This will help me to remove the IIP/2P confusion from the Foomatic database.

So the Gutenprint bug is fixed. I will close it.

Will make one out of the two LaserJet 2P/IIP entries in the Foomatic database, name will depend on the auto-detection info.

Jürgen, if you do not get output from the command I have given you in the previous comment, please tell me what name is written on the printer: LaserJet 2P or LaserJet IIP?

Hi

all autoprobe entries are empty. I remember that the autoprobe feature was
introduced shortly after the IIP.

Using the name 2p is better because the printer gets sorted at the beginning
of the laserjet list which makes sense because all the later models should
also work with this driver.

On the othe hand the printer name reads IIP in the documention and on the
printer case.

Thank you very much. I will fix this in foomatic-db.

Neither in the Foomatic database nor on the current Edgy (gnome-cups-manager, "lpinfo -m") I see any "HP LaserJet II" or "HP LaserJet III" entry, always "HP LaserJet 2" or "HP LaserJet 3". So there is no bug in foomatic-db to fix. Either it is already fixed (must be years ago, I do not remember when and whether I have fixed it) or the "HP LaserJet II" entries come from another package, which is either fixed or not installed by you.

Does your Edgy list an "HP LaserJet II" or "HP LaserJet III" entry? What is the output of "dpkg -l '*ppd*'" on your machine?

Closing this for foomatic-db.

Hello,

there is something strange happening since printing is working again ! I tried different printers
and restarted cupsys and it didn´t work. After a restart of the computer the next day someone printed a page (I didn´t try anymore)
and suddenly the page came out.

Well I changed the motherboard and the CPU and the memory meanwhile, but I don´t think it was a hardware problem since Excel
would print out of wine.

enclosed you can find the requested output
