LPR not recognising my hp F380 printer


Hi
I'm trying to use my Buffalo Link station nas as a printer server. However every time I try sending a job to the printer remotely, I get an error in the samba logs. It says "lpr: unknown printer"

I was wondering how do I install the drivers for my HP? I tried copying the original printcap db from the original firmware but it doesn't work still. I restarted. The lpd error logs were empty. The lpd.log just indicated lpd had been restarted.

I know for a fact this printer works with this nas because I've tested it using the stock firmware.

What OS is now running on your NAS? debian?
