These are URIs. Either is valid, but the second is advised when easy access to the scanner is wanted. Substitute a URI in the lpadmin command below. The PPD for your device is drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-photosmart_c3100_series.ppd This gets substituted for PPD in the lpadnin command below. Set up a print queue with lpadmin -p PRINTQ -v URI -E -m PPD Test printing with lp -d PRINTQ /etc/nsswitch.conf PRINTQ can be anything you choose, such as c3100. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I will also copy and post this and subsequent mails via a Gmail account.
