Hi All,

I am having trouble getting the HPIJS driver working under CUPS. I 
downloaded an installed the driver as per the link from the 
www.linuxprinting.org page, then downloaded and installed the CUPS PPD 
file (for my printer)as per instructions, then restarted CUPS.

I set up a new printer in the CUPS admin web server (localhost:631), 
using the new driver. All setup ok.

However, when I print anything, or try to print a test page. Nothing 
works. There does not appear to be any job in the queue.
The older generic driver works ok.

Anyone been down this track, and got it working?
I am trying to print out "photo" quality prints, as this new driver is 
mean't to be much better at.

Appreciate any help.

Cheers,
Bernie
