well, i went ahead and did lynx localhost:631
in second screen, it asks for device for hpdj710c. the options include appsocket hp
jetdirect, etc. what do i choose here?
i chose parellel port #1 (HEWLETT PACKARD 710C)
then i chose make hp
model 710c foomatic + pnm2ppa
it says hpdj710c added successfully.
when i say print test page, nothing happens!!
it just keeps saying attempting to connect to host deshmukh.work on port 9100!
