network hp printer connection problem [SOLVED]
network hp printer connection problem [SOLVED]
Hello
I'm running on my old pc the live puppy 4.3.1 and trying to make it work with a hp officejet 6500 printer.The printer is connected to this and others pcs through a wireless LAN which shares internet to pcs. Though the other pcs using Ubuntu or Windows can communicate with the printer , the one with puppy cannot. I tried both "hpliplite" and "hpijs" on CUPS but nothing , test page hasn't printed. I'd appreciate any help.

Do you have /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb?
It should be a link to /opt/samba/bin/smbspool

For HP units, it's usually AppSocket/JetDirectSo how do you connect to it? IPP?
Code: Select all
