I'd worry about that Authentication Rejected bit first. Then try falling back to another model name of the same type printer, an earlier version. I used an Epson that way recently. Second possibility: rip out all the cups related cruft, find a ppd from hp for your machine, install gs foomatic-filters foomatic-db-engine and lpr/lprng, then hack /etc/printcap (this is for lprng): lp|To your left: \ :lp=/dev/lp0: \ :force_localhost: \ :if=/usr/bin/foomatic-rip: \ :ppd=/usr/local/etc/HP-LaserJet_6L-ljet4.ppd: \ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp: \ :mx#0:sh: I thank the DDs for their efforts in making this possible. I had a devil of a time trying to do this in Sarge, but Etch appears far more amenable to nutbars like us non-CUPS users.
