Hello Liam
After installing HP-Lip 3.18.9 that downloaded about 400 MB and took an
hour or so I got no printing.So used HP Device Manager to diagnose the
driver with this result right at the end:
Checking for Configured Queues....warning: Fail to read
ppd=/etc/cups/ppd/Deskjet-1510-series.ppd filewarning: Insufficient
permission to access file /etc/cups/ppd/Deskjet-1510-series.ppdwarning: 
Could not complete Queue(s) configuration check

Now how do I change permission for the .ppd file? Or copy it elsewhere?
I know this can be fixed. I just don't know how myself.
Thanks. Have fun. Chas--
