HP Photosmart 7150 USB printing on RH 7.3 with LP/CUPS

[Karl Miller_1]

Hello, All.
I am trying to print to my 7150 from a RH73 installation. I've installed CUPS and HPIJS 1.02. A lsusb does show the printer is attached (/dev/usb/lp0). I can't get any print from CUPS to it. Printing to my Laserjet 6P works fine (parallel). Info is attached.

TIA,
Karl

Info from http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/patchfix.php#rh7273

Redhat 7.2, 7.3 fix
Use the following instructions to update hpijs on RH7.2 and RH7.3. This will allow printconf-gui to recognize all the latest hpijs printer support.

1. Follow install instructions for hpijs and GNU Ghostscript at http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php steps 1-5.

2. Download and extract the latest foomatic database at http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/foomatic/foomatic-2.0-current.tar.gz .

3. In the foomatic directory created from the tar ball, run the following commands. This will replace the RH foomatic database with the latest support for hpijs.

#./configure --prefix=/usr
# make foomatic-combo-xml
# rm -rf /usr/share/foomatic/db/source
# make data-generators
# make install-db
# cp foomatic-combo-xml /usr/bin/

4. Delete the following directories.

# rm -rf /var/cache/foomatic/*/*

5. Run printconf-gui and delete any old print queue(s) and then add them back with the new button.

The update is now complete and ready to print from the spooler.
