How Tos are missing vital information
Hi,
I think this is a problem that is easily fixed. I am sure many users have this problem.
If my printer isn't in the list when configuring the printer, which driver should I choose? The How To needs this essential bit of helpful information.
I have a Deskjet F380 scanner / printer. It isn't specifically mentioned in the lists of devices offered to me by the UBUNTU 7.10 driver options. That means I need to select a generic equivalent. The How To says to check the tables of supported devices. That table needs to have a column for Generic Equivalents. Perhaps that is what the Class of the Printer is all about. Mine is a DJ3600, which isn't offered to me either. HPLIP (or is it CUPS) tells me the printer is of type Deskjet F300. That isn't in the list either. In fact, none of those classes for any of the supported printers (DJ3200 etc) are offered.
Regards,
Billy
