[gNewSense-users] HPLIP plugin

[Stuart Thayer]

Folks:

My printer is an HP LaserJet P1006. An HPLIP plugin is required 
to run it, and in Ubuntu and the current Gnewsense, it is simply 
a matter of running hp-setup, which dowloads and installs, no 
problem.

But in the new Debian-based Mint, and in Fedora 14, this doesn't 
work. It says network connection not detected, even though it is 
there, an always-on DSL.

With Gnewsense, like Mint, moving to Debian, I'm afraid my 
printer won't work anymore. It seems that Ubuntu is configuring 
something no one else is.

Neither a Web search nor the Ubuntu forums were helpful. I'd 
rather stay with Gnewsense, but I don't want to forgo the next 
upgrade.
