How did you try to connect to the printer? http://192.168.1.6? Or does your printer require another port?

I think it is done in the hardware. I got a connection now with the firefox browser when I typed http://192.168.1.6. I didn't knew this. But how do I connect with cups?

Ok - because you can get the printer GUI, you may be able to connect from CUPS. Go to http://localhost:631 and add a printer. For the connection URI, try ipp://192.168.1.6:631/ipp - chances are the printer supports IPP. (The /ipp may be wrong, but it is a common print queue designation.)

No it doesn't work. I read the reviews before buying and someone said he has created a wireless connection with this printer. He used Ubuntu Linux.

Thanks anyway for helping

See if you can find how he configured CUPS to use the printer. You have a wireless connection to the printer because you can connect to its web page. But without the printer manual, it is hard to know what protocols it supports. If it supports lpr or IPP, then you need to know what the print queue names are. If it only supports Windows print sharing, then you have to tell CUPS that. This should be in the printer manual.

Thanks, I remembered that I installed hplip which gave me a hp device manager gui. It couldn't find the device automatically but it gave me the opportunity to manually insert the address of the printer which was 192.168.1.6. From then on everything worked flawlesly. Thanks to all you gave me the insight I needed.
