Greetings all,

Can anyone shed any light on why printing seems to be such rocket
science with Linux? I have been using Linux for a good number of years,
beginning with much earlier versions of Red Hat, then Mandrake and
finally now, Ubuntu 8.04. I have always had problems with printing and
once again with Ubuntu, I am not able to print. I have 5 documents in
queue to print but they are not printing. Not sure what else I can add
to a description of this problem other than in the Document Print Status
box, my printer is correctly identified as an HP Deskjet 6940...

Any clues would be welcome.

Many thanks,
Rob

should work fine with the ppd from HP, see the bottom of this page.
