I found an answer !
When we add a printer with the Ubuntu¹s graphic tool (Administration /
Printer) :
1 - choose ³network printer² and CUPS as protocol
2 the ipp address might be ipp://192.168.0.30/ipp
3 For the printer model, i had NOT to choose ³LaserJet 5000 Postcript
(recommended)² but ³LaserJet 5000² and then you reach ³HPLIP 0.97² mode in
the same window
Afterwards, you can use the printer. Nevertheless I can¹t see the printer in
HPLIP tool
Probably, I¹m not so easy to understand (language problem...)
Thanks to the people who have answered.

Objet : [Hplip-help] Ubuntu : install a LaserJet 5000n (JetDirect) in CUPS
-ipp
With Ubuntu 6.06, I¹ve added a network printer (LaserJet 5000n) with is own
IP address (192.168.0.30).
For the connection, I choose ³HPjetDirect² and the IP address. Then, it¹s
possible to print but all functions are not avalaible (choose the right
drawer for the paper for example).
If I open HPLIP, it says that no printer is installed and that I must use
CUPS utility.
When I add a new printer (by the specific graphic tool of Ubuntu), I can
choose CUPS for the connection (instead of JetDirect) but I must type the
ipp address of he printer up, like ipp://192.168.0.30:631/ipp ³HP LaserJet
5000 Series² but then it fails to print.
With Ubuntu, it¹s not possible to add directly a printer in CUPS by
http://localhost:631 : it¹s locked
Where I make a mistake ?
I checked : the 631 port is open for ipp on the printer
Might I keep JetDirect connection ? Or type the ipp address in another way ?
Thanks.
