It might be that these printers support SNMP. You could try running the<br>
snmp backend for them directly, like:<br>
<br>
/usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp 172.26.33.191<br></blockquote><div>> ...<br> <br>I tried this on my network-connected printers. The only one that provided a<br>device ID is my new Samsung SCX-6555N, which is an office copier/printer/scanner.<br>
<br>$ /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp <ip><br>network RAW "Samsung SCX-6x55 Series" "Samsung SCX-6x55 Series" "MFG:Samsung;CMD:PCL5E,PCL6,POSTSCRIPT,PDF,FWV,EXT;MDL:SCX-6x55 Series;CLS:PRINTER;MODE:PCL;" ""<br>
<br>The other printers don't give a useful answer.<br><br>network socket://<ip> "hp LaserJet 4200" "hp LaserJet 4200" "" ""<br></div></div>network socket://<ip> "HP LaserJet 2200" "HP LaserJet 2200" "" ""<br>
