Hello all,
I am running FreeBSD 6.2 with CUPS and a printer--specifically an HP Color
LaserJet 5500-DN--that only seems to want to print with the Gutenprint port
installed.
Even with the Gutenprint port installed, I had to copy the PPD file over
from a Linux laptop to get color working.
You have to install the PPD file into CUPS. This can be done via
administration/Add Printer or Printers/Modify Printer. I used the
lpadmin app to add the ppd file:
/usr/local/sbin/lpadmin -E -p clj2550 -v parallel:/dev/lpt0 -P clj2550.ppd
Then I decided to install the Gimp. The Gimp entails gimp-print which
conflicts with Gutenprint. So I uninstalled Gutenprint. And now I can't
get anything to print.
In the GIMP, set up the printer as PostScript level 2, and also provide
the PPD file.
Works fine with my 2550L.
HTH, Roland
