Hi!

You have probably already solved your problem but I write an answer anyway if there are anyone alse who have a similar problem....

I see that it is a HP printer, did you install the printqueue as an HP Jetdirect or as an Remote print queue?

What is the remote print queue name?

For an HP Jetd it would be 9100, 9101 or 9102. If there is only one port it should be named 9100.

For an remote print queue there are various names to use. Try LPT1, LPT2 ... or PRT1, PRT2 ..... or PR1, PR2 ..... or LPT1_TEXT, LPT2_TEXT...

Please provide an screenshot of the /etc/qconfig so I can see the entries for the printqueue that doesn´t work.

Fredric
