Could you be a little more explicit on how I can do that please? Thanks for your reply.

I treated mtself to a HP Deskjet 3050 (after waiting in vain for many years for Canon to support Linux). The HP Linux printing site gives all the information you need to build the latest HPLP software which even adds you to the printers group automatically.

It works perfectly under Antix13-64 and I'm very pleased. Thanks guys!

This is probably not the right place to post this but is the person whose printer doesn't work added to the printers group, which kind of makes it relavent to the thread.

This is the location if the cups needed.

Add this to your source list.
You will need to uninstall your current version of cups first.
Then use synaptic package manager to install cups-common_1.4.4-7

I know this an old thread, but tonight I finally have my printer working on AntX! The solution was very simple, and may well work for other makes and models of printers:

I hope this of interest to anyone else struggling with a printer.
