Do you have hpijs installed?
I have a HP Officejet Pro 8610 listed on my cups configuration when I attempt to modify a
printer. It show hpijs as the driver.
I was just figuring this out. I am looking at the cups web interface
for my notebook where I am able also have the printer. The 'joy' of a
minimal server install is to figure out what you have to add to get it
useful! I installed hplip which also installed hpijs.
Now for the hp8600 I have a choice of hpijs or hpcups. My notebook is
using hpcups. What is the difference?
