I was able to configure the HP PSC 1315 printer (USB based) on several Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware) using CUPS, but no luck with the printer on DSL at all. I did the whole configuration in the same way on each distribution and somehow I can print using these other distributions, but cannot print using DSL.

And I tried it on three different computers - no luck at all. I used HP-PSC_1310-hpijs.ppd each time - I put it in the folder with the other ppd files and included it as the driver. Everything works fine until printing the test page - then nothing happens. When I check the completed job, I get either the message that printing is completed - although it is not - or that it is aborted.

E.G., this is what I got in /var/logs/cups/error_log when I tried to print the test page and (when I saw that it did not print anything) restarted printing the same page:

I [05/Nov/2005:22:50:50 -0500] Job 1 queued on 'hppsc' by 'root'.
I [05/Nov/2005:22:50:50 -0500] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 1157) for job 1.

E [05/Nov/2005:22:51:27 -0500] restart_job: job #1 cannot be restarted - no files!

This is the description of the printer that CUPS gives:

HP PSC 1310 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
Device URI: usb:/dev/usb/lp0

-----------------------------------------------------

So, I would really appreciate if anyone can tell me how I could enable printing or generally if they had any luck using this printer (or 1310) on DSL?

Instead of using CUPS, have you tried apsfilter? (DSLPanel-->Printer Setup) (Tutorial)

The drivers for your printer are under section 12 "Official HP Deskjet Drivers" #83.

Good Luck,

Thanks a lot for your response, I did try apsfilter, but it doesn't seem to provide me with the driver I need. The driver you suggested is for HP PhotoSmart 1315 (my printer is HP PSC 1315) - I tried it just now - just in case it might work - but it doesn't - it's a different printer. So, that's why I used CUPS, which provides the driver for my printer.

By the way, a couple of times I was starting DSL while my printer is on I got the following message during autoconfiguration:

insmod: insmod: a module named printer already exists
insmod: insmod: insmod/lib/modules/2.4.31/kernel/drivers/usb/printer.o failed
insmod: insmod: insmod printer failed

But most of the time I don't get that message even though the printer is on.

Not sure what's wrong...
