HP PSC 1610 All-In-One on Gentoo

HPLIP

Seems to work well.

Gentoo will emerge older version (0.97 as of 2-24-07,) but it worked fine:

emerge -av hplip

Afterwards start hplip:

/etc/init.d/hplip start

Add to run-level if you plan on using often:

rc-update add hplip default

CUPS

Grab the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file from here or here

As root move it to

/usr/share/cups/model/

Restart CUPS Daemon:

/etc/init.d/cupsd restart

Open the delightful CUPS Configuration utility in your favorite browser.

Follow the HOWto or basically follow menus through

 "Manage Printers" -> 
   "Add a Printer" -> 
     LogIn as Root -> 
       Give the Printer a Name (at least) ->
         Select the Device that says something similar to "hp:/usb/PSC_1600_series?serial=..." ->
           Select Make "HP" and Model - then new PPD - "HP PSC 1600 Series"

If all went well CUPS will utter a cheerful message and the new printer should show up under "Printers". If it is plugged in, calibrated, and powered-up should say it is Ready to accept jobs, so go ahead, print that test page.
