hp-probe does indeed find the printer, and it is correct.

But that does not allow the Printer setup GUI to display the option line 
at the top (the line that reads "Server Printer View Help"). I need that 
line to be able to click on Server to get to the Server settings which 
will allow me to mark the line that reads "Publish shared printers on 
this system"

Jay
