It looks like you haven't set up a new queue for use with hplip. Assuming y=
ou=20
use CUPS, in the cups browser interface, choose device "AppSocket/Hp=20
JetDirect", then enter a device URI that hplip understands. Supposedly you=
=20
can find the correct URI by running

hplip]$ /usr/share/hplip/probe -bnet (with the printer on)

=46or some reason, I haven't yet been able to use hplip/probe on my system =
(even=20
with iptables stopped). If you can't get it to work for you, try using this=
=20
device URI in CUPS:

hp:/net/Photosmart_2600_series?ip=3D192.168.x.x (use your printer's IP addr=
ess)


If you want to leave hpoj installed, you will need to stop it before starti=
ng=20
hplip, because they cannot be run at the same time.

On my FC1 system:

]# /etc/init.d/ptal-init stop
]# /etc/init.d/hplip start

I have hplip start at boot instead of hpoj:

]# /sbin/chkconfig --del ptal-init
]# /sbin/chkconfig --add hplip


A further note: I just installed the latest hplip (0.8.8) and am having som=
e=20
trouble with it. hplip-0.8.7 works pretty well for me, though there are a f=
ew=20
issues here that may or may not be related to my system (mis?)configuration.

I'm interested in hearing your results.
