Public bug reported:
I have a D-Link DP-G310 Wireless print-server attached to an Epson
Stylus Photo R300
I installed Ubuntu "Edgy" I go to add a printer. It has "local" and
"networked". I chose "networked". It gave me choices of:
CUPS Printer (IPP)
Windows Printer (SMB)
Unix Printer (LPD)
HP Jet Direct
I did not have one of those proprietary HP Jet Direct thingamabobs, so I
concentrated on the other three entries in the list. I spent quite a
bit of time trying to figure out how to use the other three
(unsuccessfully), when I should have chosen "HP Jet Direct"
What I really needed to chose was:
"Raw network device (e.g.) HP JetDirect Card or D-Link print server"
and I would have been printing much sooner. Perhaps you could reword "HP Jet
Direct"
to point people who have other network print servers.
Thanks,
maddog
