If you are using the Debian packages, make sure you have the following packages installed: hplip hpijs-ppds hpijs foomatic-filters Unfortunately the Debian ftpmasters are taking their time to add the new 0.9.11 packages, they are waiting in the queue for almost three weeks now. > Note: I remarked in the "Device" section the presence of the following > items "hp no_device_found" and "hpfax no_device_found" just below the > "AppSocket/HP JetDirect" one. Since it is a network printer, you can use either hp-setup <printer IP> or hp-makeuri <printer IP> (I don't recall if 0.9.10 has hp-setup) to get an URI. The printer will not be listed in CUPS automatically, because it is not directly connected to a paralell port or USB port. Add the URI as the AppSocket URI. > Another point: when I run the /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp command, I have > the following output: > direct hp:/no_device_found "Unknown" "hp no_device_found" Yes, it won't find the printer because it can autodetect USB and parport printers only. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
