No, there's some confusion here. The hpoj 'drivers' are really transport mechanisms, in other words they provide a means for getting the data to the printer. But the data is generated by hpijs in the first place. To get HP OfficeJets working in Shrike you need to do this: 1. Grab the hpoj from rawhide 2. Grab the redhat-config-printer from rawhide 3. Manually set up hpoj for your device with '/usr/sbin/ptal-init setup' Then you can use redhat-config-printer. > Also, if libsane-hpoj is installed how come Xsane says there are no > available devices? You need to do the manual set-up stage. Tim. */
