At first I thought it was a matter of installing the newest cups and cups-base but then I found out that most drivers weren't in the administration for cups through http://localhost:631. Then I read about foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine ports. I installed both of those but the correct printer still didn't show up in the cups setup. After being unable to find the answer to the foomatics riddle, I downloaded the ppd file from linuxprinting.org for my printer and copied it to /usr/local/share/cups/model/. I read that I needed foomatic-filters, i.e. - foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper, so i built from source that i downloaded from linuxprinting.org. I copied foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper to /usr/local/bin like the directions i read said to do. (by the way, if you're curious about the directions i read, here's the link: http://webs.tconline.net/softedges/linux/cugbsd4.html ) At any rate, after copying the ppd file, i did see my printer model in the cups setup, but when i try to send a job to it, nothing happens. I set the cupsd.conf to debug and looked at the error_log but couldn't find what was happening wrong. the only thing I saw was that the locale LC_ALL isn't set, so it went to standard locale "C". and the printing ended D [31/Dec/2003:18:26:08 -0800] StopJob: printer state is 3 I'm not sure if 3 is a good state or bad state. I dont want to make the message too long by including my error log, but you can look at part of it at www.soulsurfersrealm.com/error_log I'm not very good at undersatnding everything so I only cut as much out as i thought could be disregarded. One last thing, I'm not sure if i have to do something else to make it work but does the ppd file automatically call for the program it needs, in this case hpijs? Thanks for your help! Tony
