Though the HPLIP way of installing printers still does not work, my HP network printer can be installed in Dapper (Beta2 plus updates as of 7 May 2006). I was able to install my HP DeskJet 5850 network printer OK:
- choose HP JetDirect printer - URI: 192.168.1.63, (your IP may differ) without any prefix like socket:// or hp:/ - choose HP DeskJet 5850 printer from the list, and accept the default hpijs driver Test page is perfect. However, this is not the HPLIP way, because /usr/bin/hp-info (and other HPLIP commands) result in error message. -- Cannot configure HPLIP network printers in gnome-cups-manager https://launchpad.net/bugs/25630 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
