This is what happens, starting from a clean system (mke2fs, then restore a known good backup of a freshly built system), and cups installed with USE="acl dbus jpeg pam perl png ppds python ssl tiff -X -avahi -gnutls -java -kerberos -ldap -php -samba -slp -static -xinetd -zeroconf": I let cups find the printer and I tell it to use the .ppd file I got from linuxprinting.org. It shows the printer configuration page, where I set A4 paper, then I get a security error saying that I have attempted to establish a connection with 192.168.2.2 whereas the security certificate presented belongs to serv.ethnet. Guess what - serv.ethnet is the machine I'm working on and it has IP address 192.168.2.2. What is going on here? (I don't get this error when setting up my laser printer; only with this inkjet.) On printing a test page I get "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" and job stopped. > On your client systems you add it as an IPP printer as the Network > Server's CUPS server is the IPP host. It would be nice to get that far. At present I can't get anything working at all without using hplip. -- Rgds Peter
