Unfortunately I am not able to now. I tried starting over, and now when I ask cups to detect my printer it lists Canon or Epson, but my printer is an HP! Arrggh, I don't know how to get it to detect my hp again.

Ok, I got cups to recognize my HP again, the problem was that it was connected to a 4 port pci-usb card which was not even working since uhci-hcd was not loaded, so I loaded the module for that, and cups found the printer as "HP_Officejet_J5700_series_USB_1" So I am going to try again with cups.

After I installed a printer using the web-based CUPS interface, I attempted to print a test page. In doing so, I would get the following error:

Quota limit reached.

My solution was to run the following in a terminal window:

sudo lpadmin -p HPLaserJet8000N -u allow:root,user1,user2

Substitute 'HPLaserJet8000N' with your printer name. It can be found in /etc/printcap

According to the man page, it seems that you can allow anyone to print (I just haven't tested it yet), using the following command:

sudo lpadmin -p <printer name> -u allow:all

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, finally I took the "AllowUser" out of the printers.conf and that solved it.

When I was adding the allowed users on the web interface I got a message about lpadmin overwriting this permissions...maybe it had something to do with it. Anyway. Thanks!
