Hi,

I have a PC with HP LaserJet 1100 printer on LPT port. How do I install it on Gentoo amd 64? With HPLIP?

Also I have a LPT to USB converter cable (I'd prefer the original LPT port since the old PC has a LPT port).

I have one of them printers. I am using the gutenprint driver. The printer is attached to the parallel port on my home server running CUPS, other computers on the home network discover it via Avahi.

Oh, ok... gutenprint is fine. Does gutenprint supports duplex printing (printing on both sides) and how do I set it up for LaserJet 1100 on LPT and as default printer (having installed CUPS too)?
