I'm trying to get an HP F4140 printer working on this system. My old HP
1200 worked great in every fashion, but this one is stubborn.
I've consulted
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/manual/distros/ubuntu.html I tried
the install program which failed, so I went to
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/manual/configure.html
I've downloaded the tar file and brought up the terminal to install the
drivers. I unpacked the folder, did the cd ~/ command to enter the
directory.
I'd entered the following command and got this response:

See `config.log' for more details.

When I tried to look at the "config.log for more details" I find there's
no program for viewing it.... at least not on my system.
Any ideas??
