HP OfficeJet 7210 & hplip/hpoj

[Steven Heimann]

Thanks for the advice Henk but I am still not having any luck.

I have removed hpoj and installed hplip.
I have obtained the following uri for the pinter :
hp:/net/Officejet_7200_series?ip=192.168.1.196
I note that the printer installation insists on putting ipp:// in front
of this but that would seem to be correct.  I thought the printer
diriver would be hplip but hpijs is the only available driver.  (Is this
the problem or does this driver somehow interact with hplip?)

I get the following status message for the printer when I try to send
print a test print job.  :  Printing: Unable to lookup host 'hp' -
Unknown host


For scanning I get the following uri :
hpaio:/net/Officejet_7200_series?ip=192.168.1.196

When I try scanimage --help -d
hpaio:/net/Officejet_7200_series?ip=192.168.1.196 I get the message
scanimage: open of device
hpaio:/net/Officejet_7200_series?ip=192.168.1.196 failed: Error during
device I/O

I have tried restarting hplip & cupsys with no avail.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thank you 
Steven
