Thankyou!
(I still hasn't got it to work but your advice gives me hope...)


I have tried this but CUPS will change ipp://192.168.0.11/lp to ipp://192.168.0.11:631/lp and it will not get contact with the printer.

In windows one have a special installation program that opens a fwg314p port for printing, but when looking at the advanced options there it only says 192.168.0.11 port USB 1
(The printer is connected through an usb-port to the router)

I have tried ipp://192.168.0.11/usb too, but in both cases the test-page will stop in que with teh comment "processing since ..."
