I just entered the regular IP address of the printer (in my case 192.168.1.63), without any prefix like socket:// or hp:/net/deskjet_5800?ip=192.168.1.63. The port 9100 was already indicated.
This printer now works for me, but -- admittedly -- it is still not the HPLIP setup; so commands like hp-info and hp-levels do not work. Another computer is located next to the same printer and connected to it via USB. I've been able to connect it the HPLIP way following the instructions in the wiki HpPrinterInstallationAndMaintenance, first in Breezy and now also in Dapper (Beta2) plus updates. I thought we might as well cose this bug as there is already another similar one still open (yours, I believe). -- 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
