Thanks guys, but I think that I only use the hpjis driver rather than the full |
28 |
hplip package. This is because the printer is connected to this printer |
29 |
server: |

|
31 |
http://support.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/2516/ |

which works with lpd://<ip_address> |

I remember running the hp-config or some such script some years back. It did |
36 |
not find the printer, or server, or ever configured anything. It only tried to |
37 |
connect to USB devices. Now looking at my machine I can't see it anywhere, |
38 |
but there's loads of other commands there! |

hp-align hp-info hp-pqdiag hp-systray |
41 |
hp-check hp-levels hp-print hp-testpage |

hp-clean hp-linefeedcal hp-printsettings hp-timedate |

hp-colorcal hp-makecopies hp-probe hp-toolbox |

hp-faxsetup hp-pkservice hp-sendfax hpftodit |
47 |
hp-firmware hp-plugin hp-setup hpijs |
48 |
|

I will try to run some of these when I get to that machine next, because I |
50 |
will be interested to see if it changes anything. Any suggestions what I |
51 |
should run? |
