You don't need to connect to the internet. Just open a web browser and enter: http://localhost:631 in the address box. this will point your browser to your own machine on port 631 which is the CUPS server. THen you can see what cups thinks its doing directly instead of through the gnome front-end.

I've gone to desktop, admin., printing, new printer and etch recognized the hp printer and I selected finish. I then right clicked on the printer, selected pref. and made it my default printer. I then tried to print a test page but nothing printed.
