Supported printers and scanners?
Supported printers and scanners?
How could I see the complete list of supported printers and scanners in each PPC Linux distro? "Print Settings" or e.g. "Simple Scan" does not do that, they just allow to select a periferal if it is already connected.

Re: Supported printers and scanners?
That doesn't quite include my HP OfficeJet Pro 8710, and indeed it prints junk from Ubuntu on my X5000. But the Amiga side prints well, and if I print from Ubuntu via my Raspberry Pi, it comes out perfectly. How come Ubuntu can't do that?mechanic wrote:Try looking here. http://www.openprinting.org/printers

?. I don't use Ubuntu on X1000.

Re: Supported printers and scanners?
I stopped my browser twice waiting so long for that page to load that I thought Firefox had conked out. But I finally found my printer supported, downloaded and installed that recommended hplip thingy (I seem to have had an older version that was replaced, maybe). At the end of the install process there was a box I could check for a test page, and it produced the same ugly meaningless color bands across the black and white page that I had got previously on the X5000 and long ago on the X1000.mechanic wrote:?.

Somewhere about the end of the install process I got this:
Code: Select all

On more message I don't understand:

What I want to do is print from the X5000 Ubuntu instead of having go through the Raspberry Pi all the time, but the X5000 gives color-smeared pages (even supposedly black and white documents). I wonder if there is any clue in my weird Print window?
Re: Supported printers and scanners?
Actually I don’t use a printer with my X5000 and X1000 but I will test a driver installation.

Re: Supported printers and scanners?
I think I probably messed up the hplip install (printer not connected and/or turned off?) and would like to start over from scratch, but I think I would need to get rid of what is installed now. Would you believe I have no idea how to do that?
Re: Supported printers and scanners?
Did you configure your HP printer with the HPlip gui? You can install it with the following command:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install hplip-gui
