John, Could you please run nmap against your printer and tell me which ports are open? In particular, port 9100 must be open.
Running nmap shows: PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 23/tcp open telnet 80/tcp open http 280/tcp open http-mgmt 443/tcp open https 515/tcp open printer 631/tcp open ipp 9100/tcp open jetdirect
Also, maybe 0.9.10 talks fine to your printer? I just uploaded it.
I haven't had a chance to try that version yet. However, I did have occasion to try the printer with a Win2K system the other day. The Win2K drivers and utilities on the CD-ROM that shipped with the printer couldn't detect it over the network either. So it seems it is the printer itself, not the software.
I still find it odd that the printer works fine when configured in CUPS as a generic PostScript device using the LPD protocol, but not with the HP specific stuff. Oh well, there's not much that can be done about that!
Thanks for your help, anyway. Sorry to have wasted your time on what is now clearly not a Debian bug.
