Problem installing HP Deskjet 890C on SLAX-Lice CD Linux

[cgkeller]

I tried to install the printer HP Deskjet 890-C as follows:
(on Linux-SLAX - Live C:
- Control Center
- Printers
- Print system currently used: LPR/LPRng Print system
- Add Printer Wizard (KDE Print)
- Backend selection: (Local printer, parallel, serial, USB)
- Local port selection: - Parallel Port #1 (parallel /dev/lp0)
- Printer Model selection: PostScript drive

Here an ERROR MESSAGE shows up:

Unable to find the PostScript driver

- Manufacturer of printer: NO RESPONSE, unable to input anything
- Model : “ “ “ “ “ “

WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

My computer: AMD Athlon 64 , Processor 1.93 Mhz., Desktop
RAM 512 MB
Hard drive: Seagate 160 MB
I tried to install the HP Deskjet 890C as a local printer.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Charles.
