Paul Smedley:
According to https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index this model is supported in hplip 3.15.6
The current code at bww is above this - so it *should* work
Pete:
Hi R.M.
Have you installed the hplip packages?
If "No" use ANPM to install hplip and that should pull in all the other required hplip and cups packages.
Then check there is a CUPS Daemon in the Startup folder.
If not create 1 with Path and file name: cmd.exe Parameters: /c detach cupsd.exe
Use prndrv.exe to remove any traces of previous failed printer installations and queues - http://www.os2site.com/sw/comm/faxworks/prndrv.exe
Doubleclick on CUPS Daemon then, with printer powered on, fire up a browser and go to http://localhost:631/admin and see if you can create a working printer.
Hope the above helps
Pete

Hi Paul,How are the dogs? I lost my German Shepard (3 years ago) to old age. I now have a Jack Russell Terier pup thats turning ot to be a a real handfull! Last time yyou bailed me out was years ago trying to make VirtualBox for OS2 bootThanks for help in the past now again in the future.. I'm using 5.1.0 withe the newer drivers and I agree it sould work but it dosen! Next I gotts try what Pete suggested.
Pete: Great to hear from you again-Thanks. Yes I have installed the hplip package;
CUPS Dame is in the startup folder.
I now need to locate and run pprndrv.exe. I see the install installed a driver and guess it has to be removed.. I'll get to that asap and proceed. I'm sorrry to be so slow and really areciate the help I'm pretty old now (88) and legally blind so it takes me forever toget anything done!
AGAIN-- Thanks to both you and Paul for bailing me out over the past years.

R.M. Klippstein:
It looks like the CUPS Damon in the startup folder is not getting activated, doing it by hand and the printer prints a page with a black line accross the top of the page. I guess I need to know what is the correct driver to use with this printer. Any ideas which driver I should be installing?
Thanks klipp
