Hi,
I recently purchased an HP7960 printer and had problems getting it to work with
linux debian.
Eventually I found that the PPD provided in the database required some minor
mods, namely the Model in the original PPD is defined as a deskjet 5550:
93c93 Photosmart7960.ppd
< urer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" -sDeviceModel="photosmart 7960"&&
---
> urer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" -sDeviceModel="deskjet 5550"&
There is also a line in the PPD which references the Deskjet 5550 which I did
not change:
CID:hpdeskjet_5550A851;
Changing this enabled printing through CUPS using ghostscript 8.14 with ijs
enabled.
Hope this helps someone.
