I have found the version of driver makes all the difference if you
originally got up to 20% of the test page sent.
see the printer logs?
# tail -30 /var/log/cups/error_log
should get you in the right place
if the job is flushed the the driver is wrong try another..
I have a lot of joy from the {PrinterName)}Foomatic/hpijs for many
parallel connected laser printers.
you can set this on the Admin page.
https://192.168.0.20:631/admin gets me to mine. Need https though.
you can see this from a network machine rather than use W3m
