The point is you need SNMP for more than printer discovery. HPLIP needs SNMP for bi-di communication. No bi-di means no hp-toolbox or print job status.
Here is a SNMP test. This command should display the deviceID for your printer. snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 192.168.1.254 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.1.1.7.0 If your jetdirect device does not support SNMP you can try using the CUPS jetdirect backend instead of the HPLIP backend. The CUPS jetdirect backend with the HPIJS driver is uni-di. -dave > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Thomas Mader > Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 12:53 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Hplip-help] Cannot print to JetDirect Print > Server via hplip > > > No does not give me a valid URI. > > The question now is how to make it work.
