For LaserJet 2500 problem solved
using foomatic/postscript PPD instead of native driver.
(i guess it misses something, but main options are in place)

But the same situation for LaserJet 1015 (non PS) and
cups driver + foomatic/hpjs driver.
Driver installed, but printing/getting options fails.Wednesday, July 6, 2005, 2:58:21 PM, qMax wrote:
