Any how, KDE's add printer cannot scan and find the printer???
So, I can't add it. Should I try to add it as
and IPP printer or other type?
For HP printers, I usually use the "socket" method of printing.
(Sometimes called "raw socket" or "Jetdirect.") Pretty much every
network-capable HP printer supports it and it's easy to configure.
If you can't get KDE's add printer to work, try pointing a web
browser at http://localhost:631/ and setting it up using CUPS's web
interface. The URL you'll want to give CUPS is "socket://192.168.1.5".
$ telnet 192.168.1.5:631
telnet: could not resolve 192.168.1.5:631/telnet: Name or service not
known
The telnet program expects a space, not a colon, between the address
and port number.
e.g.,
$ telnet 192.168.1.5 631
