CUPS won't print to DeskJet attached to SMC Barricade
Hello.
I can't get my printer working. I have a HP 660C and a SMC Barricade 7004
gateway with a build-in print spooler. The printer is plugged into the
Barricade. This is a very old (8+ years?) and very creaky printer, but it is
my only printer and works OK for printing off mapquest directions and such.
The printer works when directly plugged into a Windows laptop. My desktop is
linux-only and USB only, whereas the printer is a parallel printer.
From the CUPS administrative page http://localhost:631
HP DeskJet 660C Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)
Description: HP Deskjet 660CSe
Location: 220 Sullivan B3
Printer State: stopped, accepting jobs.
"Remote host did not respond with data status byte after 300 seconds!"
Device URI: lpd://192.168.123.254:515/lp
With this URI, I get the following two lines in the barricade log every time I
try to print a test page:
Fri Feb 13 11:32:50 2004 kiyone sent a job to printer
Fri Feb 13 11:32:50 2004 job was killed
The job itself remains in CUPS' queue until I manually cancel it.
I've tried variations on the URI, but they don't work at all.
The printer will print a hardware test page if I have it do it's boot-up test.
