Hi. I realize this might not be the most appropriate forum, but am hoping that perhaps someone has experience with this issue and can suggest an avenue that might prove fruitful. I am running FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE and the latest gnome installed. I use CUPS for handling printers and have successfully used CUPS with a color laserjet (HP1600) for some time now but needed to add a b/w duplex printer so recently bought the HP P2055dn. Both have usb connections, but the 2055 is not cooperating. I am using the PPD from HP (hp-laserjet_p2055dn-ps.ppd) and have tried a variety of things but to no avail. My latest attempt was to use ulpt0 and have only one printer connected. The color laserjet works fine if I connect it and use the 1600 driver, but if I connect the 2055 I get a `printer busy' command when I submit a job (same dev so not a permission issue). HPP2055dn (Default Printer) "Printer busy; will retry in 10 seconds..." Description: HPP2055dn Location: Printer Driver: HP LaserJet P2015 Series Postscript (recommended) Printer State: processing, accepting jobs, published. Device URI: usb:/dev/ulpt0 There are no relevant warnings/errors that I can see in /var/log/cups So, I was hoping that perhaps some kind soul is using this (or similar printer such as the P2015). Many thanks for your kind assistance. -- Jeff -- Professor J. S.
