6 Yes, I've downloaded the recommended hpijs driver, and this should work.

8 The problem is using the localhost:631 interface, I don't know either:

10 1. The device. It's a USB printer, but the choices are:
11 AppSocket/HP JetDirect
12 Backend Error Handler
13 Internet Printing Protocol (http)
14 Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)
15 LPD/LPR Host or Printer
16 SCSI Printer
17 Serial Port #1
18 Serial Port #2
19 None of these seem appropriate.

21 2. The Device URI. When I check /var/log/messages it gives the
22 mount-point as:
23
24 /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.2/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.3/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0
25
26 When supplied to CUPS this results in a "successful" install after
27 enabling FileDevice in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, but printing a test page
28 produces the error message:
29
30 "/usr/libexec/cups/backend//devices/pci0000 failed"

32 Many thanks for any assistance with this.
