6 This is what happens, starting from a clean system (mke2fs, then restore a
7 known good backup of a freshly built system), and cups installed with
8 USE="acl dbus jpeg pam perl png ppds python ssl
9 tiff -X -avahi -gnutls -java -kerberos -ldap -php -samba -slp -static -xinetd -zeroconf":

11 I let cups find the printer and I tell it to use the .ppd file I got from
12 linuxprinting.org. It shows the printer configuration page, where I set A4
13 paper, then I get a security error saying that I have attempted to
14 establish a connection with 192.168.2.2 whereas the security certificate
15 presented belongs to serv.ethnet. Guess what - serv.ethnet is the machine
16 I'm working on and it has IP address 192.168.2.2. What is going on here? (I
17 don't get this error when setting up my laser printer; only with this
18 inkjet.)

20 On printing a test page I get "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"
21 and job stopped.

26 It would be nice to get that far. At present I can't get anything working at
27 all without using hplip.
