#7096: HP JetDirect addon not functioning in (at least) some circumstances, possibly Gutenprint related ------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: myob | Owner: laplace Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Printing | Version: R1/alpha2 Keywords: | Blocked By: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All Blocking: | ------------------------+------------------------ I've a HP Photosmart B110a that can be driven for extremely basic, A4 B&W or colour printing using a HP Deskjet 1200 or 1220c. This works 100% under Haiku with Gutenprint on a USB connection once the margin issues in #7032 are taken in to consideration However, its a network printer and presents a JetDirect port which works under Windows/MacOS X. When the same Gutenprint driver is set up to print to JetDirect, the printer will get no further than feeding a sheet to the print heads, and will sit there with "printing" scrolling on its LCD indefinitely. If you tell a PCL5 or 6 driver to run over Jetdirect, they'll cause gibberish to be printed, which is to be expected as the printer supports PCL3GUI and no higher (despite being a 2010 model), so there's no overall failure to operate. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7096> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
