I had to run hp-setup from HPLIP to make it work, it downloaded a proprietary piece of library to drive the printer. The foo2zjs driver also works perfectly, the Zjs protocol is public and foo2zjs is free software. The jbigkit that Zjs uses is also free software. This driver is not in Fedora, only in RPMFusion because of some fskcing patent on the jbig1 compression. Without external repositories, be it HP's own download or RPMFusion, this printer would be a brick. Please, move Fedora development to Europe, so software patents don't apply. :-) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
