I am trying to setup a printer on my wireless network that is using the D-Link DP 311P wireless print server (parallel port on one end, wireless antenna on the other). When my laptop was previously running FreeBSD the proper setup for this printer was
DeviceURI lpd://192.168.1.142/lp1
So I tried the same in cups in Kubuntu 8.10, and when I try to print to this server I get the message
"/usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd failed"
When I am looking at it through localhost:631/printers
I have seen suggestions that the problem is related to a bad setup of the printer, but that doesn't seem to apply here as these settings worked fine for CUPS in FreeBSD. I tried using the service command to stop and start cups, and that did not improve the situation.
What else do I need to do in order to get this printer to work again?
