Thanks for the pointers. It helped. The http://localhost:631 gets farther. Had to log in as printer admin which I have been using root login-id. I went through the pages and it allowed me to choose vendor Hewlett- Packard. Then choose HP2100 (there wasn't a HP2100TN network printer) and then choose drive and I chose HP2100+gutenprint. The webpage reads "connection to the server at localhost:631."
Looks like cups died when adding a printer: $ ps auxww | egrep cups user 9994 0.0 0.0 1760 552 ttyp0 S+ 22:12 0:00 grep -E cups Printer is still there: $ nmap 192.168.1.5 Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2007-09-27 21:53 PDT Interesting ports on 192.168.1.5: Not shown: 1641 filtered ports, 35 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 23/tcp open telnet 80/tcp open http 515/tcp open printer Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 32.968 seconds Printer still working for windows but not for linux. When it installed on windows it gave it a name beginning with IPP. Anybody got any other things I can debug or try to type?
