Printing to a printer shared through Q6275A HP USB Network Print Adapter

Asked by Adam Reed

I need to print from Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 with latest CUPS and HPLIP) to a USB printer (HP Officejet 5610) which is attached to my home office Ethernet LAN with a Q6275A HP USB Network Print Adapter. How can I do this?

Good Day Adam

Without looking into the manual's or anything, you should be able to use HPLIP and setup your printer as a network printer. You will need to know the IP address of your printer. That is hopefully a simple push of a button for a config page. Check your documentation on the LAN adapter.

Thanks

Hi there,

Did anyone ever get this working?

I run Ubuntu 9.04 with HPLIP.

nmap scan yields:
Nmap Scan identifies the following:
Interesting ports on HVPD5591D (192.168.1.8):
Not shown: 65532 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
1720/tcp filtered H.323/Q.931
34447/tcp open unknown
34448/tcp open unknown

I tried connecting using HPLIP, CUPS Web Interface and via Ubuntu Printer GUI.

Note HPLIP will not work as it defaults to port 9100 which is not open.

any ideas?

If I modify the printer URI to have one of the open ports, that is http://192.168.1.8:34447/ipp/ will yield the following:

"Connected to 192.168.1.8..."

However, the test page just sits in the printer queue and does not print.

Oddly if I modify the URI of the printer to the second open port,that is http://192.168.1.8:34448/ipp/ , I get the following:
"recoverable: Network host '192.168.1.8' is busy; will retry in 5 seconds..."

I have tried socket:// and ipp:// versions also with no look.

I also tried the printer URI http://192.168.1.8:631/ipp/

Cheers,
Will.
