Thanks for your feedback regarding the printer port 515 !
Now I am having a choice of 4 to test with:

1) No port, since the Canon works with this ;-)
2) 9100
3) 631
4) 515

And all the various (sorted just alpha) HTTP, IPP, LPD and Socket !
Too much of choices and almost all I have tried without any success ...
... including my errorous entries and mistakes due lack of competent
experience !! ;-(

NO .. NO !!! ;-((
It's not a Parallel Port Connection !!
It IS a WL (Wireless) Parallel Port Unit !

I too started to believe this but I haven't tried yet !
I also started checking and comparing the DP-301P and the DP-311P !!
It seems there are differences exactly regarding the HP 1320 !!! ;-|

Need to learn and know better. ;-)

Once again, thanks a lot and cheers,
