HP DeskJet F380 Failure
If a brief perusal of the below indicates that I should further review
what may be available documentation which I have been unable to
locate, please simply advise - and I will then stop bothering the
readers and try to find my answer. So far I have been unable to
locate anything that would seem to solve the problem.
Initially, Cups recognized the subject, and eCS 2.0 also has a driver
for the F300 Series. So this part doesn't seem to be a problem.
I _think_ I have 1.4.8 installed properly. Due to an "invalid package
index '99'" error on the WPI file, I installed all the zip files
manually over a previous eCUPS003.wpi installation. However I believe
I might read somewhere that it might be wise to first use WarpIn to
uninstall earlier installations, something I didn't do here. If this
could be a step I shouldn't have avodied, please advise.
Trying to print a test page, after having added the printer, fails,
and yields a message of
"Paused - "Unable to write 320 bytes to printer!""
(Earlier messages indicated
"Unable to write 512 bytes to printer!"
and
"No %%BoundingBox: comment in header!".
Depite my inability to print a test page, I went ahead and created a
printer object. Dropping a PS file on it resulted in the same
failure. On it, similar to the test page efforts, the Access Log
indicated
localhost - - [04/Feb/2012:14:10:20 +0500] "POST
