Description of problem: I happen to have this printer and went through the hp-setup only to have it spit out an error say missing ppd file. Double checked the hp ppd directory and noticed everything but my printer. Remedied the problem by downloading it online. It also didn't auto detect my network printer, not sure if that is related to the ppd file or should be filed as a separate bug? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): foomatic-3.0.2-52.fc8 How reproducible: don't know only tried once Steps to Reproduce: 1.cd to /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP 2. ls *6100* 3. it spits out nothing Actual results: can't find it Expected results: found it Additional info:
What's the actual error message you get? Without the specific error message, it's hard to say what's going wrong. If you use system-config-printer to create the queue, do you get any problem then?
I don't know. Shortly after posting the bugzilla, I grabbed a ppd file from upstream and put it into the /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP directory and everything has worked since.
