open http://localhost:631/ with your favorite browser and add the printer.

By the way I couldn't see your printer there. It may not be supported by
CUPS out of the box.

http://www.openprinting.org/printers

Kind regards
Georgi

It's an HP -- best bet would be checking hplip.

Indeed, this is the most straightforward and trouble free way of
getting the printing *and* scanning functions of the device working
with 'hp-setup -i'.

For printing, http://localhost:631/ plus printer-driver-hpcups is
sufficient without hplip installed. Scanning would have to be set up
separately with libsane-hpaio.

Ah right, hpcups is the one I was thinking of.  Been ages since I've run
HP anything, and back then the printers I had needed hplip (all-in-ones,
so the scanner was kind of "required" to work).

use URL http://localhost:631 -> Administration -> Add Printer

it might be you need additional packages like hplip and/or hpijs

For the technique you are proposing (which is ok) hplip would be
overkill to set up printing. The only additional package needed
is printer-driver-hpcups.

All of the setup tools are available by pointing your browser at 
localhost:631.

Depends on what you mean by "setup tools". The OP would be out of luck
if printer-driver-hpcups was not installed.

Your view is wider than mine, which only has x86 and r-pi stuff to 
contend with. And ATM, I have no epson or hp printers. All connected to 
this machine or at an ip address, and advertized by this cops install, 
so all I've had to do to make them all usable from any machine here is 
install the cups client and tell it to browse the local net ip block.

I should learn from Andy Capp, and just shaddup. :)

Not really. It would be a poorer debian-user without well-intentioned
engagement.

Maybe so, Brian, but in cases like this it would improve the overall 
quality of the answers. And that more often than not, is desirable.

IMNSHO of course...

I find I learn more when people (not necessarily you) say something
well-intended, and then get corrected.  Granted, *finding* those posts
in the sometimes unweildy (and by then, boring) threads can be a
challenge :)

I do too, because the correction is often accompanied by the reasoning 
behind it, going into more detail then "thats just how it is".

There is that too, makes it hard to find the goodies. I use kmails "mark 
as important", those msgs containing good info. They don't get deleted 
quite as easily by list expiry maintenance.
