Sorry folks my above reply got away before I added any good content.
Where I'm stubling around is filling the input boxes on the web
interface. Maybe I should mention that my printer is one of those
all in one machines fax, print, copy, scan. It's an
HP Deskjet D145 and is hooked up vie USB.
[REPEAT - Hooked up vie USB cable (Is this a likely problem?)]
I've done this:
Name: HP
Location: /var/spool/hp
Description: Default printer
==
Device: AppSocket/HP JetDirect
==
Device URI: socket:/localhost:9100/
==
Model/Driver for hp
Make: HP
Model: HP New DeskJet Series (Mine is not thie model but seemed
the closest)
==
At this point the Browser config tool tells me my printer is
successfully configed. I just guessed at the input.
Trying the test button gets me nothing what ever
Ok `service cups stop'
`service cups start' puts this in err log:
