The CUPS web interface.

Yes hplip is installed.

I just tried ipp://192.168.1.49/ipp as suggested in the CUPS Using Network
Printers page.  I also tried ipp://192.168.1.49.  After sending a test page
through the CUPS web interface I get:
"Network host '192.168.1.49' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds..."

Still, I can print a test page from the CUPS web interface using
socket://192.168.1.49.  I also tried socket://192.168.1.49:9100; I can still
print  the test page from the web interface but "lp -d HPC6180 file.ps" fails,
"lp: Connection refused."

Some success:  $ lp -d HPC6180 -h 192.168.1.49:9100 major_surplus.ps
This did get the printer to print, but it printed garbage and blank pages, many
of each.

Also, $ lpr -P HPC6180 -H 192.168.1.49:9100 info/cdrecord_trouble.txt
More garbage!

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
