Matthias, how is that done? The problem is that gnome-cups-manager (in Breezy) does not offer a suitable printer type that can receive the special URI required for an HPLIP printer. I have an HP DeskJet 5850 network printer with IP 10.0.0.160; using the command "makeuri 10.0.0.160" the special URI is "hp:/net/deskjet_5800?ip=10.0.0.160" (note the single slash). Clearly, this is a network printer, but none of the offered choices -- CUPS (IPP), UNIX, SAMBA, or HP JetDirect -- will work with this URI. The CUPS (IPP) choice comes close, but g-c-m insists on prepending "ipp://" making the resulting URI meaningless. I have found the following work-around: 1. Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and comment out the lines with "AuthType Basic" and "AuthClass System" near the end of the file. 2. Run the command "/etc/init.d/cupsys restart". 3. Log in to http://localhost:631 (now no password required) and install the printer, choosing the first offered printer type "AppSocket/HPJetDirect", choosing HP (HPLIP) as manufacturer, choosing the printer from the list, and accepting the recommended hpijs driver. This installs the printer and, after configuring it for paper size, the test page prints perfectly. I then log out, reverse the changes to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and restart cupsys once more. The problem is in g-c-m, wouldn't you agree? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
