1) Assuming that you are using CUPS, open up a browser and go to http://localhost:631.
2) Click "Manage Printers" and then "Add Printer" 3) Enter the details that are requested, and click next. 4) Select the device. In your case, it should be "USB Printer 1" 5) Find your printer in the list, and click next. You will possibly need to install the HPIJS drivers for your printer to show up in the list. Go Here for more info. I hope this helps --Ian |
