[HLUG] HPLaserJetP1102w

[GEOFF BAGLEY]

Hi Tim.

I just downloaded the latest hplip from sourceforge -
I understand that the foo2zjs  driver is part of it.
It didn't make any difference.
Any siggestions most welcome.
Many thanks for your interest.

I haven't been over to the Hereford LUG since you
left the Point4  venue.  Car parking within wheel-chair distance could be a problem, and I shall also
need to wait for some daylight evenings !

Best regards.

Geoff
