c5180 photosmart ppd location

[marcromansky]

attached is the ppd file for the c5180 photosmart.


if for some odd reason there is a problem with this file: it is also at:
http://www.rapidfiremedia.com/misc/
there is a link at the top of the page that says: HP C5180 PPD
right click on the link, choose "Save target as..." pop it to your desktop, then pop it into CUPS.

oh, by the way, if you don't see .ppd at the end of the file, it coudl be because your operating system is hiding it. you can still try to upload the file to CUPS

Ugh no wonder I couldn't add this printer.

Dennis,

I'm pretty sure this was for the printer Denise wants to install at home. For the lab 9 you can leverage what is in the Lesson powerpoints to add the "pretend" HP 7550 printer.

Denise,

I looked up the HP PhotoSmart C5180 All-in-One printer on the HP support site. You were on the right track. Go ahead and follow their instructions for installation of HPLIP. Note they have an automatic install script or for advanced users you can download a tarball. If you download the tarball and view it with the commands we learned last night you will see the hplip-2.8.10/ppd/hp-photosmart_c5100_series-hpijs.ppd.gz file.
