https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/psc-1205-hangs-from-linux-machine/m-p/3322253#M72472 I have a HP 1205 psc printer/scanner/copier connected to an XP box. My linux laptop connects to the XP box and is able to network, share and connect to the internet.<BR /><BR />I have set up the printer on the linux laptop using Yast and the printer is visible to the Linux laptop. I have selected the HP PSC 1205 Foomatic/hpijs driver as shipped with 9.1 and everything seems to install ok until I try a test print. (or print anything else for that matter).<BR /><BR />1. The print job is sent to the XP box which receives it and places it in the print queue (which is at the top - no queue!!).<BR /><BR />2. The green LED on the printer starts to flash indicating that it is preparing to print.<BR /><BR />3. The print heads start to move (presumably self calibrating)<BR /><BR />4. The green LED on the printer continues to flash.<BR /><BR />5. But, no printing.<BR /><BR />6. After about 30 seconds the print head 'parks' itself.<BR /><BR />7. The XP status shows 'Printing', Size is stuck at 64.0KB/1.28MB - seems like the printer is waiting for more data ...<BR /><BR />8. The linux laptop does not report any errors during transmission and assumes job is complete.<BR /><BR />Only thing to do is cancel job on XP box and reset printer by switching off and on.<BR /><BR /> Sat, 03 Jul 2004 11:59:56 GMT Paul Turner_6 2004-07-03T11:59:56Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/psc-1205-hangs-from-linux-machine/m-p/3322253#M72472 I have a HP 1205 psc printer/scanner/copier connected to an XP box.
