Here is what I have tried: bash-2.05b# grep 420C /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/* /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-DeskJet_420C.xml:<printer id="printer/HP-DeskJet_420C"> /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-DeskJet_420C.xml: <model>DeskJet 420C</model>
bash-2.05b# grep HP-DeskJet_420C /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/driver/* /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/driver/cdj500.xml: <id>printer/HP-DeskJet_420C</id><!-- HP DeskJet 420C --> /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/driver/hpijs.xml: <id>printer/HP-DeskJet_420C</id><!-- HP DeskJet 420C --> bash-2.05b# foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-DeskJet_420C -c file:/dev/lp0 -n HP420C -d hpijs lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused Could not set up/change the queue "HP420C"! I have tried the device both with and without the "file:", same results. Thanks, Harlan...
