Since installing the HP Photosmart drivers, I’ve noticed that duplexed printing no longer works on the HP Deskjet 970Cxi.
In my old installation notes, I wrote that the printer was installed in March 2001 with the DeskJet 880 driver for Linux PrintTool.
Linux Printing.org shows the driver to use with this printer as the hpijs and has instructions for CUPS.
I went to the hpijs page and generated a PPD file for the printer. I saved the file in /usr/share/cups/model. Then restarting the services with service cups restart and service cups-config-daemon restart allowed the driver “HP DeskJet 970C Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)” to show up when modifying the printer in the CUPS Manage Printers page.
