Sun and said:
I have a HP PSC 1510 all-in-one USB printer that I am trying to
install in Fedora 4. Linux is not able to find the [the HP PSC 1510].
Do I have to set up USB support first or is this already built in?
FC4 is recent enough that it should automagically load [ou]hci-hcd and
ehci-hcd (if you have a USB2 chipset). USB printer support is provided
by the usblp module. Then, you have to use the hpijs or hplip printing
backend via CUPS or lpr-ng. If you have installed CUPS and cupsd has
been started, fire up a web browser and go to http://localhost:631 , and
set the printer up there.
There's a general printer database/guide at
http://www.freestandards.org/printing/public/ , and the specific printer
model you have is at
http://www.freestandards.org/printing/public/
show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-PSC_1510 (all on one line). HTH,
