[K12OSN] 1160 HP Laserjet Printer

[bimal pandit]

Dear All,

i am new to this list and am one of the linux enthusiast, i am using
openoffice(office suite), evolution(for mailing) and mozilla/opera for
web browsing.

now a days i am facinbg a problem with a printer as i got an HP-Laserjet
1160 printer and am trying to get it into the network so that we can use
it. 
The printer is attached with a windows system and is shared, now on my
linux system when i used printtool to configure it, it was not there so
i went to hpijs project site read all the docs/instructions etc. then
downloaded hpijs-1.7.1.tar.gz and installed it as:

cd /usr/local
tar -xvzf /bimal_data/print_driver/HP/hpijs-1.7.1.tar.gz
cd hpijs-1.7.1/
./configure
make
make install

everything went smoothly and no errors :)

i stopped cupsd and then restarted

again i started printtool and using "smb"(since printer is attached with
windows system) it showed me the printer i configured it and now when i 
shoot a print, it starts "THROWING BLANK PAPERS" madly...

what shall i do?? 

any help in this, will be greatly appreciated.

regards,

Bimal Pandit
