Installing an HP printer
This is for a clean installation of SliTaz GNU/Linux cooking-20100314
- With the printer plugged in and powered on, run
su root tazpkg recharge tazhw setup printer
- Install only hplip and hal-cups-utils
- The printer should show up in the list of printers displayed as part of this command. It will then attempt to open the CUPS admin pages in Midori (at http://localhost:631 )
- On my system, the printer does not show up in the browser under 'Find printers' and I get a 'Forbidden' error when trying to add a printer via the browser
- Instead, run
hp-setup
and follow the instructions. The test page should print correctly. The printer should also show up in the list of printers in applications (like the text editor) and will also appear in the list of printers on the CUPS browser pages, although in my case it is still not possible to make any changes to it
