Can't see my HP Jetdirect 300x on the network

[Guest]

Hi All,
My first post as I have only just loaded K 9.10 64bit onto a Phenom II computer I built specially as my Linux machine (yes it has enough RAM for 64 bit - 4 GB).
My first problem (of many I'm sure) is that although I can see the other computers on my wired network I can't find my HP Jetdirect 300x print server and therefore can't print anything of course.
Can anyone suggest how I might find it?
Thanks,
David

try going to the cups browser interface

http://localhost:631/

and seting it up

Another option is to install the hplip package and run hp-setup.
That should give you some additional functionality.

I'll try the hplip package I think and let you know how it works.
Many thanks,

sudo apt-get install hplip

sudo apt-get install hplip-gui

and then

kdesudo hp-setup
