I would have known that if I had RTFM. I see where you're going so I tried this:
-- lpadmin -p 8100_series -n /usr/share/ppd/SUNWfoomatic/HP/HP-PhotoSmart_7150-hpijs.ppd.gz --- There is and never has been an '8150' PPD - the actual model is an HP8150 PhotoSmart. In the past, I selected '7150' from 'Print Manager'. Once I changed the PPD, the commands started running, although printing from 'evince' isn't working yet. The funny thing is, when I tried this on a different (forgotten name) HP printer, it seemed to get the correct model but Anyway, this got me going. Thanks for the help!
