Hey,

I've got my HP LaserJet 3200 connected throught USB with my WL-500g router. Works fine with Windows. But I want to get rid of windows and use linux instead. So how do I configure my debian system for this? I'm using the testing version, "Sarge".

Hi

Use CUPS and configure it as "Networked Jetdirect", Choose your router IP as printer (192.168.1.1 is default) and port 9101.

Well....I dont know debian too well, but in my Fedora, the file that needs to be edited is /etc/cups/printer.conf

Mine is something like :


# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.22rc1
# Written by cupsd on Sun 08 May 2005 05:58:58 PM CEST
<DefaultPrinter PSC950>

As you can see, my router is at 192.168.0.1 and I use port 9100 for printing.

I tried several settings, but I still don't get the hang of it. I tried the HP jetdirect, and lpd, with the following settings:
uri:
lpd://192.168.1.1/LPRServer (the LPRServer with this address works on windows)

socket://192.168.1.1:9101 AND 9100

none of them work. For information:
I use firmware 1.6.5.3, and i don't want to upgrade because internet doesn't work with a newer firmware (with the same settings), and I don't want to figure that out.
The printer is connected through the USB port. (Am I right that the combination of this firmware with the USB port makes port 9101??)

Any solutions left?

1.6.5.3 firmware does not support RAW printing.

But I didn't configure it as RAW, I just selected HP LASERJET.

Maby you didnt configure it that way, but accessing through 9101 (or 9100) IS raw printing....

You should go for Olegs latest firmware if you want it to work.

And why doesn't the LPRServer setting work then? It should, because it works fine on windows...

Anyone?
It works on windows, it should on linux, shouldn't it?
