Hi John,
The problem is with Trinity which does not see the installed driver
are you sure? With Kubuntu 10.04 I have no problems. I suspect it's a Debian problem.
As mentioned before, you'll have to install hplip. These are the packages, that got pulled in when I installed it on my debian:
hplip hplip-cups hplip-data hplip-gui
then you have to call hp-setup as root to setup the printer.
Thanks all, but that's not the issue. The drivers are there but Trinity is not seeing them. In fact, I also installed an HP2605dn via Trinity and it used some very inadequate and feature poor driver. I just modified it using the CUPS web interface and all the features are now there.
I suspect it may be a Debian/Trinity issue because of the previously mentioned issue of the missing path to /opt/kde3 which I believe is where Trinity stores its files on Ubuntu (not 100% certain) whereas it is /opt/trinity on Debian. Thanks again - John
