Hello from Vienna,

I'm unable to get my printer working on a new system.
Configuration:

OS:SUSE 11.2, 64bit
Printer HP710C
Port: parallel port on a PCI card (PCI Controller DELOCK, chip: NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller) - I dont have a parallel port on the MB.


What I found out so far:
-) The printer is recogniced by CUPS.

-) Printing the testpage fails:
HP_DESKJET_710C_LPT_1-15 root
17408   Sun Jan  3 14:49:26 2010
printer HP_DESKJET_710C_LPT_1 is idle.
enabled since Sun Jan  3 14:49:26 2010
/usr/lib64/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed

-)Turning on the debug option shows:

I hope, Ipasted all relevant parts of the logfile!

What makes me unsure, if this is a cups problem at all, is the fact, that I'm unable to get ANY output to the printer.
"cat some_file > /dev/lp0" finishes without any error, but the printer shows no activity (busy led).

I checked the modules, hwinfo, pci-configuration, but found nothing suspicious:

One more thing:
hp-setup does not find my printer...

As you can see, I have reached the end of my knowledge and would be very gratefull for any hints!

Thank's
Gerhard
