I may be coming in late on this but my laptop configuration
specifies
ipp://192.168.2.2:631/printers/psc-2400-series
192.168.2.2 is configured to host this USB printer locally and it's
"URL" is
hp:/usb/psc_2400_series?serial=MY39FD200F8H
Perhaps you can try using the printer protocol (ipp) instead of http ?
Thanks for your response.
I did try ipp instead of http at one point.
as well as AppSocket/HP JetDirect .
But I think that was when I was using hp-setup.
I'll try it again directly.
I've put in a bug report for this problem,
and been asked to run a diagnostic test, which I have done.
