The printer which you want to set up is not recognized by the automatic
network scan of CUPS (therefore you probably enter the printer's IP
manually). I assume you have turned on the printer. You seem to use
public IPs for all your LAN devices (is this a university LAN), I can
ping your printer from here and I can even set it up with system-config-
printer. For me it works as you show in your video, but for me the
screen for manually choosing manufacturer and model appears (as for you,
my system could also not determine manufacturer and model).
Can you run the command
lpinfo -l -m > out 2> err
in a terminal window? Does the command exit? Or does it keep running for
infinitely long time? If it does not exit, what do the files out and err
contain (check with a second terminal window).
Attach the files out and err, independent whether the command exits for
you.
Think also about the security of your network. All IPs are publicly
accessible, one can enter the web configuration interfaces of all your
printers from anywhere on the internet, mess up your printer's
configuration, print test pages, and even create print queues with
system-config-printer and then use up your toner. I am setting this bug
report to private so that no one sees the IP addresses.
And do not forget to buy toner for your HP LaserJet 4100.
