Printer: HP PSC 1350v

I am having alot of issues getting my printer to work. I am using the gnome cups manger and it detects my printer at no problem, I already downloaded and install the PPD file and it uses it with my printer, the problem is my printer is aborting my prints before they are even being sent through for some weird half-assed reason. I'd appreciate as much help as I can get to get this to work.

Okay, so you've already installed the hplip package? In case you haven't, this contains the new HP linux drivers for both printing and scanning. You must install this packge and then follow this procedure:

1. Run /etc/rc.d/cups stop
2. Run /etc/rc.d/hplip start
3. Run /etc/rc.d/cups start
4. Place hplip before cups in rc.conf
5. Reconfigure CUPS to use the hp:// port instead of usb when printing.
6. Test the printer to ensure proper function.

Sorry to post again, another question, how do I configure xsane to use my scanner?

Do the following and it should work:

1. echo "hpaio" >> /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
2. Run sane-find-scanner
3. Retry with xsane.
