Description of problem: HP Deskjet 4163 does not print anything, only flashes with different indicators. I think this model is just not supported yet and probably the work on drivers is in progress, but reporting just in case. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.6.6a-1.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to print anything with this model 2. 3. Actual results: Multiple flashes but no printing done Expected results: Printing should be done properly Additional info:
Please try this test update: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-October/msg01025.html You should be able to do this using: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update hpijs hplip libsane-hpaio Does that make any difference?
Here's yum output for this command: Could not find update match for hplip Could not find update match for hpijs Could not find update match for libsane-hpaio No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
Oh, the update was for FC6, sorry.
Updated foomatic and others and my printer now works. But not all applications operate it properly. For example eog and gimp detect printer settings improperly and set PostScript as driver instead of default I set in printer preferences. I tried to change settings in gimp but it detects printer database improperly - my printer (and many ohters) is not shown in the list (system-config-printers displays database properly).
For gimp this is a known problem and it is linked to bug #196989. For any other application please file a bug against that application.
