Uninstalling HPLIP (no replies)

bbroke — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 11:33:35 -0500

This is just some advice I'd like to give out:

Before installing any of the foo2* drivers I strongly recommend uninstalling HPLIP. The instructions can be found here:

http://hplipopensource.com/node/188

If you already installed one of your printers with HPLIP I also advise you to manually remove the printers and re-enable them using the foo2* drives, otherwise your printers will not work correctly.

Best,

Robert

foo2hp -m (media type)? (5 replies)

roger — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 23:45:49 -0400

Can somebody please explain the foo2hp -m option... the man file doesn't go into depth on explaining what the "-m" or "media type" does besides the fact it accepts integers from 0-256?

Reason I'm asking, HP Color LaserJet paper is 96 brightness and 28 lbs. I need to somehow adjust my 2600N printer to print on this paper without dumping too much toner.

About the only paper I can use is the 20lb HP Multi Purpose paper. Maybe it's still an engineering defect with this puppy. Either way, whether conserving toner or it's a h/w bug, wondering how to negotiate Media Types according to the type of paper I buy (ie. 28lb HP Color LaserJet Paper - 96 Brightness, 20lb HP Multi-Purpose, or Bond/Stock paper.)

is foo2hp 64 bit compatible? [hp2600n, Ubuntu] (5 replies)

hey,

I'm new to ubuntu, about 2 weeks experience.

I need to get my 2600n working, or its gonna be a deal breaker.

I've downloaded the driver tarball, unzipped it to the folder, but when i try to run make in the folder, ir errors.

thats just the first 10% of the errors. pretty much every line is an error.

I'm really struggling to get ubuntu working with my peripherals, is it cos i've chosen the 64 bit version?
