issues with hp printer

Post by Carlo85 »

hi all
i've tried to look around but i've found noone with my very same issue:

i own an hp mfp-m177fw, it's on a net with several computers, and sometimes i need to print some pdf from foxit (windows version):
now, on two computers i'm running sparky linux, which is a debian testing, wine version should be 1.6.20.2, on one pc i can easily print from foxit under wine/playonlinux
on the pc i use most, foxit does not recognize any printer, nor "wine notepad" does..
useless to mention i can print easily from debian

i've tried purgin and deleting hplip things, cups, wine, playonlinux but it was no use
it's not a big issue since i can save those pdf and print with okular, but still can you provide any hint?
thank you

I assume you mean 1.6.2 for the Wine version; there is no 1.6.20.2.

You may be missing a dependency on the system that doesn't work; the first one to check for is 32 bit cups. If that's not it, check for any other differences in installed libs and settings between the working and non-working systems.

Actually I guess the only difference between the two systems is th le architecture
I'll try to add i386 and let you know
