I have a HP deskjet 932c. I installed cups and tryied to configure my printer as follow: After setting the name end description of the printer i choosed as a device: LPD/LPR Host or Printer. After that i entered /dev/lp0 in the Device url space. In make i choosed HP then HP New Deskjet Series CUPS v1.1 in the model space. After configuring the printer a press the print test page buton but the printer did nothing.
I look at the completed job list and here is the given message for the print page:

That "device" is used when you want CUPS to contact another server running the traditional LPD daemon for printing. You should choose a parallel port instead (entering "/dev/lp0" as the device url is otherwise correct for parallel port printers). |
