[Tfug] cups printing woes

Tue Oct 28 08:06:24 MST 2008

I no longer have trouble with cups since I switched to HP;

You might need to install gv and ghostscript; at one time they were 
needed packages for cups.

Then I would install through the localhost:631 -that's the only way I 
ever got things to work.

Sometimes the USB offers two devices, don't be tricked by the one that 
contains a "serial number" of some sort; I use the other one and I 
manually install the .ppd file also.  Make sure it's unpacked.

Good luck.
