My HP Color LaserJet 2550L needed a new imaging drum which the Portland Printer Place sold me and then installed it. Now I'm trying to use the printer but cannot seem to communicate with it.
According to the CUPS Web interface, it's configured as: Description: Color LaserJet 2550L Location: office Driver: HP Color LaserJet 2550 Series Postscript (recommended) (color, 2-sided printing) Connection: lpd://salmo/var/spool/cups Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided When I try to print a test page it asks for a user and password, and says the system wants "CUPS" as the user. There is no such user in /etc/passwd, and it won't take 'root' and its password. The printer prints a self-test page. The 'ready light' displays a steady green, but the Go light (with the Go button) stays dark. The printer does have a local IP address: 192.168.55.194, but it's not on an Ethernet cable to a JetDirect card. I'd like some suggestions for testing the situation to figure out where it's stuck.
