HP Photosmart 8750
I can get an HP Photosmart 8750 to print by setting it as another model (e.g. photosmart pro b8800 series) but it can't sense ink levels, etc. Is there a setting that will allow full function?
Re: HP Photosmart 8750
Hello,
ink level display is possible with most HP DeskJet, OfficeJet and Photosmart printers - but only if the printer is directly connected to the computer's USB port (no ink level display is possible with printers connected to the USB port of a printer server box / internet router / NAS).
How is the printer connected?
What is the printer connection identifier (URI) as displayed in TurboPrint Control's list of printers, column "URI"?

Re: HP Photosmart 8750
It's connected via ethernet (hardwired). My HP Photosmart seems to work completely but not the canon. Is there a way to (ugh) use the windows drivers?
Re: HP Photosmart 8750
Thanks for the reply.
I found the solution. I installed the driver from ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/l ... 2.i386.rpm and I can see everything now!

Sorry. Got my printers mixed up.
Evidently the HP printer won't let the ink levels be seen if network attached (windows won't show them either).

Hello,
the PhotoSmart B8800 series driver will not work for the PhotoSmart 8750 printer.
Please try the TurboPrint driver "HP PhotoSmart B8550" instead.
If you try this driver, please let me know if everything works properly or if problems remain.
