This is not a CUPS bug, it is a driver problem. Most DeskJet printers use PCL 3 as printer language. The DeskJet drivers coming with CUPS produce PCL 3. But your printer (and all other HP DeskJet 33xx, 34xx, and PSC 1xxx models) use LIDIL as printer language. This language is not supported by the drivers which come with CUPS, but it is supported by HP´s HPIJS driver
To get it working with CUPS go to

Especially follow the instructions on the last of these three pages.

Greetings,
I am completely unable to print anything, even plain text, to my usb printer. I've used the web page to set up the printer. It's an hp deskjet 3320. I installed cups using the source code. /var/log/messages tells me the kernel definitely recognizes the device: Apr 5 15:02:46 gem kernel: usb.c: USB device number 2 default language ID 0x409 Apr 5 15:02:46 gem kernel: Manufacturer: hp Apr 5 15:02:46 gem kernel: Product: deskjet 3320
lsmod shows the usb and printer modules are loaded. However, I print a file to the printer and nothing happens.
When I configured using the web page I selected HP, the first USB device, and I've tried using both the HP Deskjet and New HP Deskjet drivers. But nothing prints.
I hope you are able to help me with this. I appreciate your time.
Sincerely Ben
