I have a HP 4MP connected to me TI PowerBook via ethernet. I can't get it to
print the test page using CUPS. I've selected a LPD host and have tried
lpd://localhost, lpd://127.0.0.1, socket://localhost and socket://127.0.0.1
and always receive a "localhost or 127.0.0.1 is busy will retry in x seconds"
error.

What am I missing/doing wrong?
