Within DSL 4.2.4 on a USB pendrive I've got apsfilter to print an excellent b+w test page on my HP C4380 all-in-one USB printer using the "djet500" setting.

Unfortunately the test page is followed by paper jams which aren't doing the printer any good.

Has anyone got a C4380 or similar to work without problems under apsfilter?

Having compared the HPLIP list of supported printers with the HP printers listed in apsfilter it seems that CUPS is needed to get the HP  Photosmart C4389 All-in-One USB printer to print within DSL4.2.4

Hopefully the current MyDSL CUPS will do the trick. Else I'll default to my present workaround of using two email accounts to exchange file attachments for download and printing in Fedora 8.
 
BTW the "paper jams" referred to in my previous post occurred following switching off the printer after the test page was printed to stop an unending series of pages being fed through the printer and being ejected unprinted.

Have downloaded MyDSL CUPS and CUPS Admin but have hit a snag.

CUPS Admin won't accept username = "su"  with password= "xxxxxx " despite having previously entered "xxxxx" as the password in a terminal following "su passwd"

Any ideas how to get past this hurdle?

su is not a username. When you typed "su passwd" you Switched User (su) to a user named passwd, and gave him the passwd xxxxx.
Or, if you typed "sudo passwd", you Switched User to root, and root's password is xxxxx.

Many thanks. Did "sudo passwd" and then was able to log-in to CUPS Admin using "root" "xxxxxx"

Used CUPS to setup the C4380 - in terms of a basic print function - by choosing  the Photosmart P1100 profile and have successfully printed a Beaver file.
