With Etch I had been using "raw" and "raw queue (en)". With Lenny, I had success specifying the printer by name and model, which utilized HPLIP. But with Squeeze, the webadmin GUI is not responding, so I cannot yet specify a PPD. A week ago there was some response from the GUI, but as soon as I clicked on the "add printer" button, the GUI began searching for printers, and never found any. With the GUI in Etch and in Lenny, I was unable to add a printer directly by specifying its IP address; but not so with Squeeze. And now there is no response when I try to add a printer. As an alternative I would be happy to use the command line CUPS interface, but I need to Google for a HOWTO (I should be able to find instructions using the CUPS webadmin GUI, but it is not working right...)
