I checked and I had chosen 'foomatic/hpijs'. Last edited by The Avatar of Time ( 23:42:49) I know that ALL of them can be gotten rid of with something like 'pacman -Scc' but I don't want to delete all packages, just select ones.
Ppd file type how to#
However, how do I delete the packages so that when I try to reinstall them they re-download also? Right now I save copies, but I don't know where they are or how to get rid of them. I am thinking of removing all related packages and trying again from scratch. Is perhaps not having said file the problem?Īlso as to luca's instructions, when I followed the instructions that you gave I was using the repository version of HPLIP and also I was curious as to whether I should have un-installed/removed HPLIP before attempting your instructions?Īny other ideas would be appreciated. However, I do not have "/etc/udev/rules.d/" or "/etc/udev/rules.d/les". Sim4lin: Thanks for the idea, I checked it out.

I must just be missing something simple.ĭoes anyone have any idea as to how I can get the appropriate PPD file, or which one of the listed ones might work instead? The only Officejet that I see listed is the 'hp_officejet_9100_', does that sound like a reasonable choice?Īny assistance would be greatly appreciated. I also went to to try and find a PPD file, but there doesn't seem to be one for this printer.Īs I say, I know that the printer/scanner/fax-everything worked just fine in Ubuntu, so I am sure that it can be accomplished here. I try the 'Select Other' option, but there is no PPD file relating to the 5610 AIO or even the 5600 series. It sees that I have an 'HP Officejet 5600 series' and after clicking next I get a 'PPD file not found' error. I select USB as the printer I want to detect, and that goes fine.
