Re: [Hplip-help] unable to link to printer

[Aaron <ke...@gm...>]

Dean,

The printer "Deskjet_D4100_2" is not configured using the HP backend and
therefore will not function correctly.  The printer "duffy_deskjet" should
work.  What happens if you run hp-testpage?  I'm not entirely clear on what
your problem condition is, you want to delete the printer and then print to
it using lpr? You should be able to run "lpr -Pduffy_deskjet
<file_name_here>" and it should print. Does it not then? You said it was
printing and now it's not, did anything on your system change that you know
of?
