HP C3180 power light won't stop blinking after wireless print (from PC)
I've raised this issue in an earlier post - but maybe with too much verbiage.
My PC prints wirelessly to a (raw Q on a) MAC which is USB-connected to an HP Photosmart C3180. When I use the driver for the 3180 on the PC (either with an LPR port or an internet port), the jobs are created with an "error" status, and never leave the PC.
I've found, however, that the HP 550C driver (and a generic HP Deskjet) will work fine on both the LPR port and the internet port. The printing is exceptionally fast - but the power light continues to blink after the job is finished. I have to press the "cancel" button on the printer console to stop the blinking. Some sort of "handshaking" between the printer and the driver software is not happening, apparently.
I also print from the Mac to the 3180 (foomatic/hpijs C3100 driver, usbtb backend) - and everything works fine.
Any advice/information will be welcome.
