Network printer - HPJetDirect - DEBIAN 3.1r2
 

Hi, i'm trying to be able to print to my network printer. I have a station with DEBIAN 3.1r2 (O/S) and a printer that own an ethernet card with an IP addres..

I'm make sure the eth is up.. i use PING command to test my IP address... and is OK.

I install the CUPS packages and I have acces to my (http)
localhost:631 <-- where I ADD a printer...
BUT all of my test pages persist with a CANCELLED Status.


I Try different configurtion methods - socked, ipp and
have no clue why this problem occurs.:confused:

What i'm doing wrong??? thanks anticipated for any response..

you should be using something like this for an HP networked printer in Cups
socket://ipaddress:9100
Are you using the correct driver?
Sometimes if you do not find the exact driver in cups there is normal a generic driver that should atleast be able to print a text file.

Check http://www.linuxprinting.org/ they also sometimes have ppd files that you can import into CUPS.

Cheers

ThNks
