Problems with HP Deskjet 3762 setup
by Steve W from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56YDH)
A friend of mine has Linux Mint 17 Qiana. He's just bought an HP Deskjet 3762. I have helped him set it up, the Control Panel recognises the printer, but when we actually try to print, either connected via his router or directly with USB cable, the printer power light duly flashes, the job is sent to the printer queue, then disappears out of the queue... but nothing prints. This works on either Test Page, or any LibreOffice document. I would think the printer wasn't connected if it was not for the power light flashing whenever a page is sent.
Printing a test page from the actual printer, not through the computer, does work.
Does the power light flashing on an HP Deskjet indicate an error, or is this normal operation? Cannot find much online about this, other than generic info. And most other info assumes you are using Windows.
The only thing might be that my friend just has a dud printer...
Thank you for any help you can give.
