I found that I could configure the printer as a HP JetDirect attached by changing the port from 9100 to 2501.

HTH,

Comment on Gentoo’s back by Lee

This is good news. I’m just now turning back to Linux after leaving Gentoo behind over four years ago. I just hope things haven’t changed so much that I’ll have to start from scratch.

[...] Letting Firefox install Flash didn’t work. The installation goes OK but Flash is still broken afterwards. In the end I had to download and install it manually as described here and here. [...]

Note the path if the latest Firefox is installed:

Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,
or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): /usr/lib/firefox
WARNING: /usr/lib/firefox is not a directory.
Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,
or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b5
———– Install Action Summary ———–
Adobe Flash Player 9 will be installed in the following directory:
Browser installation directory = /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b5
Proceed with the installation? (y/n/q):

I thought it would be smart to do this:
mmm@squelch:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b5/ /usr/lib/firefox
mmm@squelch:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/ /usr/lib/mozilla
until I realized how forgetful I am and undid it.

Thanks for the info, Josh! I’ll be passing this along. Unfortunately, the printer in question is using an external wireless NIC, so I’m not certain any of this is valid, but for anybody using the internal NIC this may be helpful.

As for changing the password, I can’t understand why some companies refuse to put a master reset button on the print server just in case somebody loses a password or gets hit by a bus. Security doesn’t seem to be a valid reason, since if I can get physical access to the machine, I can probably cause a massive DOS just by unplugging the machine and carrying it elsewhere.

[...] an unfamiliar, slow, and crippled version of Firefox. I ended up installing that along with the Flash Player add-on for it and my usual group of extensions. I also found the default installation lacking a program [...]

Hey, I found this page when I was trying to set up my network 17 printer, and I thought I would tell you what I found. When you set up the printer for the network, on ubuntu or kubuntu use the LPD/LPR option, and when it asks the host and stuff, type the ip:port mine was set to 515. When the next thing it needs to know is the name or something like that so use PASS. So you should have something like lpd://10.2.181.60:515/PASS as the device URI. for the driver I used a generic PPD for PCL 5e. I am going to keep searching for the IBM PPD files so I can use all the options, but at least got me printing. I hope this helps you. (Oh to find your port number, go to the printer’s ip address in a web browser, and click configure printer on the side, network services, then LPD. If your friend that works at IBM happens to know of a way to reset the password on the NIC for these printers, please let me know. I bought this surplus and its got a password so I can’t change anything.)

Here is my solution to this for Arch, one must just fix the plugin line and it should work in Kubuntu or anything that runs KDE.
