We share a network printer(IP: 10.0.0.150), how can I use it in my gentoo box?

I have installed cups, and tried to add printer in http://localhost:631. But I do not
know which option to choose in the many-steps configuration.


btw, the printer is HP laserjet 1320n.

Assuming it has PostScript, the following should work:

name: (whatever name you want)
device: AppSocket/HP JetDirect
device URI: socket://10.0.0.150:9100
make: HP
model: HP LaserJet Series CUPS v1.1 (en) - you could try HP LaserJet PCL Series CUPS v1.1 (en) if you don't want PostScript

Is the printer attached to a computer or truly network independent?
If attached to another computer, what OS is it running?

Are you using KDE?

It is network independent, not attached to any computer.

I'm using fvwm.
