[xubuntu-users] Cups Problems on Xubuntu 14.10 64bit

[Rob Ward]

The laptop my wife uses most is connected to an ethernet HP LaserJet 4050N.
We just used a regular set up and it prints ok.
Is that close to your machine?

It has a Device URI of 'socket://10.0.0.30:9100'
and everything else in Printer Properties is pretty well default?
