HP LaserJet 1000I'm using SimplyMEPIS 3.4 from a live DVD. The system recognizes my printer correctly as a HP LaserJet 1000 and lets me alter the Settings for paper size etc. However when I do a Test print nothing happens and no jobs show in the print queue. What do I need to do to get my printer working with Mepis?http://www.mepis.org/misc/smileys/puzzled.png »

The good news is that if you do install 3.4 then use the script available at linux printing your Lj1000 will work very well with Mepis.
Btw it also works with Suse 9.2, 9.3, and 10 because I used these distros before moving to Mepis.
