Configuring hp deskjet with cups on debian etch April 1, 2007
Posted by maxmil in : Debian , 1 comment so farJust configured my hp deskjet 3420. These were the steps:
1) Install cupsys package (with dependencies)
2) Install foomatic packages: foomatic-db, foomatic-filters-ppds, foomatic-filters, foomatic-db-hpijs (this last one contains the filters for the hp drivers)
3) Install package hplip, contains the drivers for hp printers.
4) If the cupsys deamon has installed correctly you should now be able to go to http://localhost:631 to access the cups configuration web interface.
5) Add Printer > Inform name, location and description > Device = HP deskjet 3420 USB TH2AF3B0XT1J HPLIP (HP deskjet 3420) > Make = HP > Model = Deskjet 3420 > add Printer
6) Configure printer through web interface. For me the default options were correct. The only problem that i had was that my color cartridge is empty and when set to print color i got blank pages. I had to configure the printer to only print black and white in order to get results.
7) From web interface, print test page.
And fingers crossed that should be enough!
