After research I found that HPLIP supports the mode l bought. I then uninstalled CUPS with Warpin and downloaded the CUPS warpin file again and reinstalled it plus the HPLIP drivers. Then installed the printer from CUPS from my browser and tried to print a test page but again failed with the CUPS page showing the following: *HPd2660 "/cups/lib/cups/filter/hpcups.exe failed"* *Description:* HP Deskjet D2660 *Location:* Local *Printer Driver:* HP Deskjet d2600 Series, hpcups 3.9.12.29 *Printer State:* idle, accepting jobs, published. *Device URI:* usb://HP/Deskjet%20D2600%20series?serial=CN9CFDF22K05C9 I used the option to choose the *.ppd file which I found in C:\cups\share\ppd\HP folder. I note that these ppd files are really *.ppd.gz files so do I need gunzip somewhere to unzip them or does the CUPS program have this ability? One other thing I noticed is that the CUPS warpin program has put the eCUPS Daemon program folder in my startup folder and its properties folder shows the path and file name as 'cmd.exe' and the parameters as " /c detach C:\cups\sbin\cupsd.exe " . Does that automatically start cupsd ? I don't know where I can go. As far as I know I've followed the instructions fully but to no avail. I installed the new printer in Ubuntu and WIN XP and it's working well in both but eCS is my main OS and I no longer have a printer that works with it. I'd be grateful for any help.
