update 7.04 to 7.10, LP 2100 doesn't work anymore

[derBernie]

ubuntu 7.10 standard-installation

after the update the printer doesn't work anymore and I saw no hp-toolbox anymore;
First I was looking for a solution in the verious forums then I installed hplib again (synaptic) and started hptoolbox, the printer (laserjet 2100 on the parallel port) was detected; I konfigured everything and checked everything according to http://hplip.sourceforge.net/troubleshooting/parallel.html and everything was ok but the printer prints only some words like %!PS-Adobe-3.0 ...
I checked the printer in localhost/631 and everything looks fine.

A print brings the following information in the cups error log:

Sometimes after an update there are problems. In fact I've never had any luck with an Ubuntu dist-upgrade.

Try this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove hplip foomatic-db foomatic-db-hpijs gs libcupsys2 gs-esp
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install foomatic-db foomatic-db-hpijs gs libcupsys2 gs-esp libsnmp-dev

(Notice I've added the libsnmp-dev because there is a problem with the installer after an ubuntu package name change, but this if fixed in the next release.)

Then install the latest hplip from our website; http://hplip.sf.net

Lemme know how this works out for ya.
