Hello,

As it's the New Year, perhaps it's time to resume banging my head on this 
wall again.

I have a server with two printers connected, set up using the cups Web page 
and operating properly. Now I want to send print jobs to them from my 
workstation, which is on the same network, and with the same version of 
cups: 1.3.9-r1. One of the printers is an HP Deskjet D4260, so I also have 
hplip version 2.8.6b installed on both machines. I can connect either 
printer to either machine and print locally without any problems.

However, I cannot get anything to print over the network. If, on the 
workstation, I declare the network laser printer and connect to it, all 
appears to work until I send a print job to it; the job sits in the lp 
queue locally, and when I next look at the status of the printer it 
says "Destination printer does not exist!"

If I try to set up the Deskjet as a remote printer in the local cups server, 
I get "Filter "foomatic-rip" for printer "HP_Deskjet_D4260" not available: 
No such file or directory".

I don't know what to try next. Anyone any idea here?
