============ Let me try my HP960C connected via the parallel port to check your findings. I haven't used or tried anything other than a USB connection, but the 960C has a parallel port adapter as well. Have you tried the USB? Or did you try "ink -p parport"?? I don't think you are suppose to use the quotes around the device port name. I always use ink -p usb and get results.
