How can I connect my USB (HP) printer in 10.4, which can't be discovered and worked in 9.x
- by Brian
My printer was working under 9.x. It is a an hp photosmart C3100 series. When I open the Admin- printing. no local printers are found.
I try to add via other (My local choices are Serial and other). I have tried many uri's - ipp://localhost:631/ipp, http://localhost/ipp, localhost, 127.0.0.1, etc... None have worked.
Under the networked I have tried JetDirect, using localhost and 127.0.0.1 and port 631.
I have tried many options under IPP with different variants in the host trying to verify a printer. No luck.
I tried LPD/LPR with localhost and tried the probe. no luck.
I tried the cups admin via localhost:631 and that didn't work.
On the old version its simply found the local printer, I might have picked the driver, I can't remember but it was the photosmart c3100 series that was working.
I just can't get 10.4 to print.
