Hello, people. I have two problems: one SB Live! soundcard (yes, another one) and an HP PSC 1317 printer. I'll start with the printer. I've recently purchased an HP PSC 1317, which I promptly connected and installed on a Windows XP machine on the network. Using printconf-gui, I added a new print queue, type SMB, and used the hpijs driver for PSC 1300, which was the nearest I could find, and reasoned that it ought to work. However, an attempt to print to it sends the document across and then stops. The document remains stuck in the queue, not printing, until the document is cancelled - upon which the computer insists that it is "Printing - Deleting" it - and stops all further documents from printing until I stop the spooler, manually delete all the files on the spool (which decide to follow its example and become evil) and start the spooler up again. I presumed this means I have the wrong driver and the printer is getting confused, but according to the information on this site, the hpijs driver should be able to print from the 1310 series (of which the 1317 professes to be a member). On hpinkjet.sf.net/productsmf.php it recommends the hplip driver, which I proceeded to install as per the instructions on hpinkjet.sf.net/install.php (for Fedora Core/Network) until I came across the following:
$ ./probe -bnet
Now, logically I reckoned that we might have a problem here, as the printer is a passworded SMB share, and there didn't seem to be any way of entering a user/pass. This was confirmed when an attempt to connect returned:
[WARNING]: No devices found
Disregarding this minor setback, I continued with the instructions, entering "smb://<user>:<pass>@<host>/<share>" for the printer URI. However, the listing had nothing even resembling my model, and I let fate have its way and gave up trying to set it up for the night, as this was well past 3am.
{EDIT} Sound card problems now sorted, thanks to this thread (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31441). {/EDIT}
The sound card:
I've bought a PCI Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit. Fedora didn't even notice it. I reinstalled alsa from source --with-cards=emu10k1, then found out that I should actually be using ca0106. I uninstalled and reinstalled alsa (1.08, by the way) and tried again. This time kudzu, alsaconf and system-config-soundcard picked it up, and, indeed, I managed to play sound with it - at an awful quality, even worse than the onboard ATI IXP I originally had (now disabled). It's currently not playing any sound at all, don't know why, it was working a minute ago.
Any help would be much appreciated. No, really. Any help at all. Please...
