[cups.general] HP2100 / new CUPS woes

[Peter Stickney]

My goal is to just setup a couple of HP LaserJets on my linux server 
with CUPS.  I had some success previously, but at the moment, I am 
running into walls.

The Printers:
1 HP LaserJet 2200 - a network printer on a windows 2000 pro workstation.
1 HP LaserJet 2100 - a network printer on a windows 2000 server

The Linux Box:
Slackware 9.0
Kernel 2.4.20
CUPS 1.2.1
The HP2200 is setup to use the PPD from linuxprinting.org [ 
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_2200 ]
The HP2100 is using another driver from the same site [ 
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_2100 ]

Setting up the printers through the CUPS web interface was not a 
problem.  I set them up as samba printers and all is well with that.  
They are both detected "idle, accepting jobs, published. "  That is 
pretty much where my success ends.  When I try to print a test page to 
the 2200, which is the one next to me, I get "Unknown operation 
"print-test-page"!" 

Up until the start of this week, I was using CUPS 1.1.23 with limited 
success.  The HP2200 worked fine, but the 2100 wouldnt print anything.  
A test page would print one or two lines and then countless blank pages 
until I canceled the job.

I was hoping upgrading would fix the issue, but it has actually set me 
back, in that neither printer will print now.

 From the server "lp -d HP2200 file" returns lp: Bad Request.

I can provide more information as needed, I hope this rings some bells 
in some people's heads and is something obvious that I am missing here.

Thanks
