CUPS- HP JetDirect 170x
Trying to print to HP LaserJet 1300 via HP JetDirect 170x
I go to http://localhost:631/admin
then:
1. Click on add printer and put in Name, Location, Description
2. It then asks for "Device". I choose AppSocket/HP Jetdirect
Is this correct?
3. It then asks for "Device URI". I have no clue as to what to put in
here. We use IP based printing for our XP machines. The JetDirect box
has an IP address of 192.168.0.50. XP machines print to it just fine.
The box shows the word "socket". It also lists these examples:
file:/path/to/filename.prn
http://hostname:631/ipp/
http://hostname:631/ipp/port1
ipp://hostname/ipp/
ipp://hostname/ipp/port1
lpd://hostname/queue
socket://hostname
socket://hostname:9100
What do I put for hostname? I printed the test page from the JetDirect,
and it has a "Host Name". Should I enter the "Host Name" of the
JetDirect?
4. I then asks for Model/Driver. I choose HP for Make. I'm then given 3
choices for Model:
HP DeskJet Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
HP LaserJet Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
HP New DeskJet Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
My driver does not seem to show. How do I install the driver? I've been
choosing the 2nd option.
Thanks for the help.
