Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2003 6:42 am Post subject: hp deskjet 500 .xml help? |
|
|
the gentoo printing guide says at one point to look for my printer model in /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/...
well, my hp deskjet 500 isnt listed in there, what should i do?
is there a way to generate a .xml file for that? (kinda like the ppd-o-matic thingy) or is there some other model i could use thatd end up the same and work for my 500?
thanks in advance |

I did as "stefanvt" did in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=31821 when he found my drivers... I did som grepping and found this.
Code: |
# grep -H 500 /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/* |grep HP
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/173888.xml: <en>Under Mandrake 7.0-2 printing is perfectly with the HP 500 series driver.</en>
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/59328.xml: <en>This, the model 4078-002, can emulate a HP DeskJet 500C.
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/68320.xml:&br&compatible with HP 500c in Windows DOS box.
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Lexmark-4076.xml: <en>Works with drivers for the HP DeskJet 500</en>
|
Read https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=31821, it's the same thing, but with another printer.
And see if you have all the modules in the kernel that "rensi" writes... |

yeah but...those comments in the .xml files say that the printer they talk about works with the hp deskjet 500 driver, not the other way around...

You might want to take a look at this link.
You can also use this link to generate a ppd file for your DJ500.
BTW this was my first inkjet printer. Nice little printer _________________ --
