printer (HP DeskJet 932C)

[Michael Havens]

At local host:631 in the screen 'Device for <title>' there is a selection 
under device which is hp:/par/DESKJET_930C.....' My printer is a 932C. I was 
thinking that it automagicly detected it and is suggesting a driver that 
might work. Is this the case? If it isn't how do I go about getting the 
proper driver? (I went to cups.org and looke through all  the Ds (deskjet) 
and HPs (hewlett packard)) Strange thing was that not evev the suggested 
driver was there.

Open to suggestions.
