[gentoo-amd64] Printing with Cups and 3-port JetDirect

[gentoo-amd64] Printing with Cups and 3-port JetDirect

[Mark Creamer]

    I have a printer configured in CUPS, which is attached to a HP 
JetDirect 3-port print server. I set the printer in CUPS to use:

    socket://192.168.1.30:9100

per some instructions I found in my searching. However, nothing prints 
when I do a test page. I've tried restarting cupsd, but no print. Maybe 
I'm missing something simple? I have verified the IP address on the 
JetDirect, and that the printer is plugged in to port 1 (which 
translates to TCP/IP port 9100 from what I'm told).

Thanks!

does 
echo "testing" > test.txt
cat test.txt > /dev/lpr (or watever ur thing is) work?
u might also need gimp-print drivers too..

This does not seem to be amd64 specific, but have you looked at your 
/etc/cups/ configuration files?  My amd64 gentoo systems prints to my hp 
with a jet direct interface.  Here is what I have:

cat printers.conf
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.23
# Written by cupsd on Sat Jul  2 23:41:14 2005
<DefaultPrinter hp>
Info hp lj 4
Location master bedroom
DeviceURI socket://wednesday
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

Looking at my configuration, I don't seem to be using 9100.  Have you
tried the lpd port?
