The first link got me to something that was Windows-only. -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards
With the Deskjet D1420 disconnected, hp-probe
finds no USB printers (duh).
With the Deskjet D1420 connected, hp-probe
finds it.
hp-testpage produces
error: Unable to communicate with printer Deskjet-D1400-series. Please check
the printer and try again.
Note that hp-probe found it.
hp-testpage also produces a popup saying ...
There is a problem with a print cartridge (1017)
It does not say which one or why this would cause communication failure.
How do I figure this out?
