Hi all,

I'm running LM 8.2 and getting nowhere configuring a HP 845C printer.

Using harddrake and selecting CUPS it defaults to using 'foomatic + hpjis' 
hpjis is recommended and provided by HP for this class of printer to print
via ghostscript.

It installs ok but when it comes time to print it does nothing at all.
I should say that is attempting to print a KSpread doc.

Next attempt was to try lpr. I had a number of choices and chose 'ghostscipt 
+ hpjis'.

At least this time I get a long error message ending with 'bad command line'.
The command line attempt 'lpr tasklist.txt' was tried and this just does 
nothing at all as tirelessly as does CUPS.

Any one have a clue on this?
tia,
Bob
