Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
HP Deskjet 5740 USB


I'm installing the said printer on this server for printing with command lines. Since this is a server only few GUI/X packages/softwae have been installed. I only print occasionally.


I'm aware the bundle of HP drivers are on hpijs/hplip which are available on Ubuntu repository. I only need the driver for the captioned printer and don't expect installing all drivers on repo.


Please advise where I can download the driver for the said printer on Internet.


TIA


B.R.

Hi asymptote,


Thanks for your advice and URL


$ apt-cache policy hpijs

hpijs:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.7.2+1.7.3-0ubuntu1.1
  Version table:
     2.7.2+1.7.3-0ubuntu1.1 0

the package "hpijs" is on Ubuntu repo. I haven't installed it because it is a bundle of drivers.


I'm considering to install this package. After having the printer set up on CUPS remove it to see whether HP Deskjet 5740 can work or NOT.
