Hello, Recently CUPS and hplip have been updated and now my HP LaserJet 1160Le is not working. I tried some basic troubleshooting and when my ideas did not work, I decided to delete the printer, reinstall all things relating to hplip, and then reinstall the printer. So, as root, I go to http://localholst:631 and click on "Add Printer". In the Add Printer window, I do: Name: HPLaserJet1160Le Location: Den Description: HP LaserJet 1160Le and click on "Continue". Now, I am in the "Device for HPLaserJet1160Le" window. The Device pull-down menu has the option: HP LaserJet 1160 series USB 00CNG1R02434 HPLIP (HP LaserJet 1160 series) Naturally, I choose this device and hit continue. Then, I am at the "Model/Driver for HPLaserJet1160Le" window and choose Model: HP LaserJet 1160 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)(en)" and click on "Add Printer" and authenticate myself as root . I am then greeted with a window that says that the printer was added successfully. Now, when I am in the "Printers" tab, I click on "Print Test Page", and it brings me to a window that shows just the printer (and its information) and right next to the printer name (HPLaserJet1160Le), I am greeted with the message, "printmode mismatch with pen, tray, etc." How do I fix this? My printer has the following specs as displayed in CUPS: Description: HP LaserJet 1160Le Location: Den Make and Model: HP LaserJet 1160 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended) Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published Device URI: hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1160_series?serial=00CNG1R02434 My machine is currently running hplip-1.7.1 and cups-base-1.2.7_2... I am in the process of updating to 1.2.7_3 and will let you know if this fixes things. In "var/log/messages", there are the following lines.

I am running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on a Pentium 3. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you for your assistance with this. -Anthony
