As you sad it is a very old model and already reached "End of support" [1] state. Hpcups is the new driver and I guess such old models are not supported by the new driver. Just use the hpijs driver then. The hpijs driver wont disappear from hplip in the near future. [1] http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet/deskjet_500c.html -- Daniel Pielmeier
