Hi All,
I have installed an HP 5610 on a FC6 linux server. I have setup cups to allow network printing to this printer. There is no samba in this installation.
So, I can now print via IPP to:
http:/example.com:631/printers/printername
This works great.
My issue is installing the drivers on multiple Windows XP boxes is a pain. Even if install all the _huge_ executables that come with HP5610, I can't see the driver in the list of drivers, when I add a printer.
My questions:
- I thought that the driver would probably be like a small file. Do I really need to download and install HP's 300 MB files, everytime I want to install this network printer?
- Is there a way I can push the HP5610 driver to the client pc's?
- Is there another generic driver that I can use to print to this printer?
tia,
