Here's the situation: I have a client with a Dell PC running FC4 connected to an HP lasrejet4 printer via an old JetDirect print server. There is no GUI available, but cups is installed and running as verified via lpadmin -p testprinter -v file:/dev/null -E && lpstat -p. I get printer is idle... enabled since... No problems there. When I tried lpadmin -p hplj4 -v socket://192.168.1.89 -m laserjet.ppd, I get the error message:
lpadmin: add-printer (set model) failed: server-error-internal-error /usr/share/cups/model shows a laserjet.ppd file and I'm doing this as root so I doubt it's a file permissions problem. SELinux is disabled. When I hook my Laptop up to the network and try the same command I get the same error. When I go through http://localhost:631/printers and add the printer through cups, it works. I can print to the printer from my laptop. During the course of using the web browser to set up the printer, I'm presented with HP LaserJet Series Cups v1.1 as the choice of printer model. The page source indicates this is pointing to the pcl-4 driver. I copied the pcl-4.ppd.gz file into /usr/share/cups/model and tried this command again on the Dell and the laptop. Still no joy. The lpadmin man page was no help either. I'm sure I'm overlooking some small stupid thing, but I can't figure out what it is. Anybody got any ideas?
