Re:HP psc 2510

I just got this printer and am trying to set up networking. What did you specify as the URL for accessing the printer? I'm using CUPS, and typical choices are:

file:/path/to/filename.prn
http://hostname:631/ipp/
http://hostname:631/ipp/port1
ipp://hostname/ipp/
ipp://hostname/ipp/port1
lpd://hostname/queue
socket://hostname
socket://hostname:9100

I've tried various combinations substituting the IP address of the printer for "hostname" in the above examples. However, the printer configuration says:

"Network host '192.168.1.5' is busy, down, or unreachable; will retry in 30 seconds..."

Yet I can ping this address successfully, and my router shows that it is the printer that is at that address.

Also, I didn't see PSC 2510 in the list of supported printers, so I used "HP PSC 950 Foomatic + hpijs".

Can you offer any advice?

Thanks,
Keith
