cups not printing

[nedry]

Hi i have just installed cups,gutenprint,hplip and
and successfully found my laser-jet 2420 on the network and installed the correct driver for it.
however when i goto test print i get the following error message:

Unable to print test page:
Unsupported format "text/plain".

i can successfully ping my printer over the network from the system.

Probably you haven’t installed print/cups-filters

Just tried to install print/cups-filters but is already installed

ok so a full reboot of the system again results in it working, strange as had rebooted it after installing cups, gutenprint and hplip

installed the correct driver for it

By the way, when none of available printer-specific drivers seem to work, or only garbled output is produced, yet your printer supports IPP, it won't hurt to try the generic IPPEverywhere driver (sometimes called driverless printing), as it may adapt to your printer automagically, although at the cost of fine tuning.
