OK, I get this:

Code:
cam@ubuntu:~$ whereis cupsd
cupsd: /usr/sbin/cupsd /usr/share/man/man8/cupsd.8.gz
cam@ubuntu:~$ /usr/sbin/cupsd restart
cupsd: Unknown argument 'restart' - aborting!
Usage: cupsd [-c config-file] [-f] [-F]
cam@ubuntu:~$
The .gz one is something I d/l before I noticed I could get it from Synaptic.

Ok, yes, it worked! Thank you!

Now I'm back to where I was a couple of hours ago. :P

I try to print from OpenOffice. This is what the CUPS administration page tells me:

Quote:
Description: PSC-2175
Location:
Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
"open print channel failed; will retry in 30 seconds..."
Device URI: hp:/usb/PSC_2170_Series?serial=MY37ND83R073
And nothing happens.

Actually, when looking for detected printers in System/Aministration/Printer I get two detections of the same printer. I have added both now and none of them work. This is the info I get from the web interface of CUPS.

Code:
 	PSC-2170  	HP PSC 2170 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)  	
		Description: PSC-2170
Location:
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
Device URI: usb://Hewlett-Packard/PSC%202170%20Series?serial=MY37ND83R073

Print Test Page Stop Printer Reject Jobs Modify Printer Configure Printer Delete Printer Set As Default
 
	PSC-2175 	HP PSC 2175 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended) 	
		Description: PSC-2175
Location:
Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
"black pen has low ink"
Device URI: hp:/usb/PSC_2170_Series?serial=MY37ND83R073
I've sent test pages to both of them (the latter one still processing one) and nothing happens.

Well, this would be System/Aministration/Printer, as mentioned, but it doesn't offer enough options. I started out there and then went for the web version because people suggested it'd be easier (or, well: possible) that way. Hmmm, I guess I'll maybe have to wait for some Ubuntu experts to have their go at this problem.

Thanks very much though for your effort!

that second one has to do with the keyboard. It has to do with hot-key-setup

Actually, both are ready. And I don't know which one is the real one. (Since none of them work.) Do you think the second one is "fake"? The 2175?
