Sorry for the late response, I had some ideas last night... Here are 4 packages/flags/protocols that you should research and see if they work. If Debian or Ubuntu have this printer working, it would be keen to put one of those machines and your printer on an isolated subnet and run wireshark to see what protocols are at work. avahi\zeroconf dbus foomatic snmp (snmpwalk, snmpget, net-analyzer/mbrowse Also connect to the 'embedded web server' built into most modern printers. First setup the IP address of the printer from the printer menu, then ping the printer from your linux system (fills arp table) and then type in the IP address from your browser on your linux system and the printers web server should respond. Maybe something needs to be turned on from the menu system in the printer's embedded web server? Have wireshark running on another linux system to sniff the sessions. Isolate (filter) wireshark to the protocol(s) you want to capture/study. SNMP might also give you clues as to the error. You are most likely just missing something simple (at least once you discover the problem).

Or, set the printer up off a pc running windows with remote printing via windows shares, samba or some sort of network printing? That's the way I print currently, using remotely the cups server of a mac. sorry I could not help more. Thanks a lot anyway.
