I have a Deskjet F2280 installed and using CUPS 1.4.1. I was not able to pick a PPD file from the hp-setup utility but within the CUPS interface I was presented with the "HP Deskjet F2200 series" which rather close matches my printer.

Printing is ok, but for the very first page.

No matter what I print: right in the middle of the first page the printer aborts printing and sets itself to "Paused". I then manually have to click "Resume Printer" in CUPS and this feeds the paper (with some printing on it) and I have top restart the whole printing process again.

This is pretty annoying for a set of reasons:
1. I have to start up the CUPS interface every time I want to print something
2. The aborted print causes a waste of paper which is avoidable
3. One needs to be root to "Resume Printer" and as such noone except me can print.

The last one is a killer, since there *are* non-root users on the machine.

What further info is needed and what can I do?

Thx, in advance,
Oliver
