Since you have an HP printer and have installed hplip (along with hplip-gui?) you probably should go the easy route and run "hp-setup" as root to install your printer. I have an HP 6500 all-in-one printer installed and working fine. It was configured using hp-setup and the /etc/cups/printers.conf contains DeviceURI hp:/net/Officejet_6500_E709n?ip=192.168.0.195 for the printer and DeviceURI hpfax:/net/Officejet_6500_E709n?ip=192.168.0.195 for the fax. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
