In Gentoo, if I didn't have the snmp USE flag defined, the hplip utilities couldn't see or print to any networked HP printers. This shouldn't be a problem under Debian-derived things though. Also, make sure there aren't any overly-restrictive firewall rules in place like a default DROP without a corresponding ACCEPT for whatever port this is using. That'd cause the problems you describe. > What I'd like is a systematic diagnostic plan to start > troubleshooting Make sure you can ping the printer from the Ubuntu box first. Then see if you can "telnet $PRINTER_IP 631" and get a connection (if this thing does IPP), or use whatever port the thing uses. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
