I will save you some trouble. There is an incompatibility between the
versions of hpijs and foomatic-rip used by LP. It's a known bug and it
will be fixed when the foomatic-filters package is upgraded to v4.0.3.
We don't have an ETA for the foomatic-filters upgrade. CUPS doesn't
have this problem because hpijs ships it's own foomatic-rip for use by
CUPS. Actually, in build 126, the HPLIP (parent project to hpijs)
version is updated to 3.9.8 and the native CUPS drivers are delivered
for CUPS (better integration).
I would recommend that you start by switching print services to CUPS and
configure your printer under it. You can do this by following the
instructions at
http://blogs.sun.com/gheet/entry/how_to_turn_on_cups
and
http://blogs.sun.com/jacobs/entry/more_on_using_cups_in
Since your printer is connected to a Windows host, you will want to use
a DeviceURI in the form of
smb://[username:passw...@][workgroup/]server[:port]/printer
To do this, you will want to fix for
6766216 create /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb
You can get this by upgrading to build 122 or later.
