How I installed a HP psc 1110 on Pink Tie Linux 10 (2.4.21-4.EL) (Please note when installing I chose custom and selected all the Kernel development stuff to be installed, I believe I tried it without first and it didn't work, mind you it was 3am!) However in Gimp I have yet to get it to print.. if anyone knows the setup how I'd be delighted to know what I'm missing. ############################ Here was the solution that worked for me for printing (except direct from Gimp) and Scanning (works in Gimp), after a fresh install with kernel development options on custom install. Logged in as root and at the terminal prompt [root] # mkdir /root/printdownload Used Mozilla to download : Downloaded redhat-config-printer-0.6.47.11-1.i386.rpm and saved into /root/printdownload Downloaded redhat-config-printer-gui-0.6.47.11-1.i386.rpm and saved into /root/printdownload Downloaded hpoj-0.91.tgz and saved into /root/printdownload Back at the terminal prompt [root] # cd /root/printdownload [root] # tar -xzf hpoj-0.91.tgz [root] # cd hpoj-0.91.tgz [root] # vi /etc/sysconfig/i18n --> this puts you into the vi editor, use the arrow keys to move along to the .UTF-8 initially my first line said LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" using the delete key remove .UTF-8 to be left with LANG="en_GB" press :w to write the file press :q to quit [root] # ./configure [root] # make [root] # make install [root] # ptal-init setup Type n to stop it scanning the parallel ports (unless you have other printers attached) Type y to allow it to scan the USB ports it will pop up saying it has found the printer and it will set it most likely to mlc:usb:psc_1100_series Press enter to accept this Press enter to skip the Jet Direct scan (unless you need to do this) It will then say that the mlc:usb:psc_1100_series has been accepted as the default printer Press Enter to accept it Now do [root] # rpm -i --force redhat-config-printer-0.6.47.11-1.i386.rpm [root] # rpm -i --force redhat-config-printer-gui-0.6.47.11-1.i386.rpm [root] # redhat-config-printer-gui This will take you into the printer config program Choose New , Forward, Give your printer a name eg. HP1110 Describe it to if you want. Click Forward, Highlight ptal:/mls:usb:psc_1100_series Hewlett-Packard psc 1100 series Click Forward, Choose Manufacturer HP from the drop down Choose Deskjet 3320 from the list Click Forward, Click Apply, Click Yes to the test page And a test page should print Scanning should also now work, in Gimp etc.
