The 'Media Tray Empty!' message is harmless, and isn't the cause of this problem. (It is mistaken, and this bug has since been fixed.) Please attach the output of 'printconf-tui --Xexport'. Thanks.

Please fetch this file: ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/hp3420.bz2 Uncompress it like this: bunzip2 hp3420.bz2 Then send it to the printer like this (as root): cat hp3420 > /dev/usb/lp0 Does that give any better results? This is the output from a newer version of the printer driver (hpijs) for that model.
after [root@164-tor-1 download]# chown root:root hp3420 [root@164-tor-1 download]# cat hp3420 > /dev/usb/lp0 a perfect test page was printed, what do I have to upgrade to make it work with printconf to all users? Cheers Marcin
Just the hpijs package. The current rawhide (untested) version, which hp3420.bz2 was generated by, is hpijs-1.4-2. You can get it from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide. You could try upgrading that package and seeing if you can print afterwards; if not, obviously the problem is elsewhere.
Hi, I installed hpijs 1.4 from rawhide. Now I'm getting the following message from /var/log/messages when trying to print the cups test page May 24 14:09:11 164-tor-1 hpijs: unable to read client data err=-2 Can you give me any hints where elsewhere to look, or what logs to take? Cheers Marcin
Perhaps you also need to upgrade ghostscript. You could set 'LogLevel debug' in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and look in /var/log/cups/error_log for more logs.

Did you also try upgrading ghostscript?
hi, After upgrading ghostscript it works perfectly thanks for your help cheers Marcin
