Thank you for all your ideas, but I seem to be no closer. I port scanned the printer and this is what I got:
# nmap -sT 192.168.69.39 Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor ([EMAIL PROTECTED], www.insecure.org/nmap/) Interesting ports on hplj2100 (192.168.69.39): Port State Protocol Service 21 open tcp ftp 23 open tcp telnet 80 open tcp http 280 open tcp http-mgmt 515 open tcp printer 631 open tcp unknown 9100 open tcp jetdirect Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3 seconds I can telnet to port 515. I have confirmed that the printer supports Postscript and the jetdirect card supports LPD[1]. I have also found a instructions of the HP web site which confirm my settings[2]. I am not using printtool as I don't have X installed. I do not seem to have the /etc/lpd.conf and /etc/lpd.perms files, do I need them?
