Hi, thanks for valuable hints. > Ideally you'd want to trouble shoot your p910nd server for connection. > Outside the context of HPLIP.

I can add this printer to CUPS via it's web interface with this settings: Description: HP DeskJet 920c Location: Make and Model: HP DeskJet 920C Foomatic/hpijs (recommended) - HPLIP 1.6.10 Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published. Device URI: socket://glottis:9100 and I can use it in my KDE pretty well, printing works great, I only don't have "extended" features of hp utilities.

This might be why > hp-setup/toolbox cannot 'see' your server's printers. Bi-di was not set, so I tried it, but it didn't help. Now the command used to start p910 is: p910nd -b -f /dev/usb/lp0 0 I don't know, what -b exactly does, maybe I should consult this with p910nd people (although I'm not sure, who they are and how are they connected with etherboot). I only find this in release notes: "Version 0.7 supports bidirectional copying, activated with the -b option, useful for getting status from printers." (btw I have version 0.7 although 0.9 is available) A few notes at the end. p910nd is running at Asus wl500gx "embedded" router, that's why I can't use CUPS or anything better directly where the printer is connected. When I moved my printer to one of my desktops everything with HPLIP was ok. Basicaly everything I really need works. I would just like to have the same comfort in Linux as I have in Windows. Do someone have any other ideas? And thanks for advices given so far. John Hosszu napsal(a): > Good Day František > > I can definately say this is not a configuration we have used in the Lab > here.
