I have been able to successfully install an AppSocket/HPJetDirect printer with Gnome-Cups-Manager using Dapper AMD64 Live-CD Flight 6 (dated 31 March 2006). I selected type HPJetDirect (obviously), typed in the IP of the printer under URI (without socket:// prefix), chose HP (HPLIP) and the driver for HP DeskJet 5850, and everything was OK. Printed a correct Ubuntu test page.
Now , why would the live-CD 386 of 20060414 mess all of this up again, I wonder... -- gnome-cups-manager does not accept HPLIP printer setup https://launchpad.net/bugs/27239 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
