Trying to find a way to save jobs to a disk in the printers.
This is a really important feature to me.
It does not seem like there is any provision for this in these drivers.
thank you
Emet

Hello Emet,

Thanks for reporting the issue in HPLIP. Can you ollow following things.
=> Download and install the latest HPLIP release from
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html (automatic installer) or
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/index.html (manual installation, if automatic installer does not work)

=> run "hp-check --fix" command in the terminal if manual installation is done

=> Reconfigure print queue with the commands in the terminal mentioned below.
       => system-config-printer (remove all print queues)
      => su -c "hp-plugin"
             or
      => sudo hp-plugin (This will download right plugin)
       => hp-setup (NOTE: this command should not be run in a root mode. This command is adding print queue. Make sure you select ppd provided here in the attachment)
=>Try printing now.

Thank you so much for your help
This does seem to be a step in the right direction. The only problem is that the printer does not retain the job after the first printing. That is the aspect of having a hard drive on the printer that is very good for my situation. Anyone can go to the printer and print saved jobs repeatedly.
