There are some problems with the hpijs drivers. What distro of Linux are you running and where did you get the drivers?

Since you mention emergeing I'm assuming that your running Gentoo. Have you installed foomatic, since you didn't mention it I just want to make sure you are working with The Gentoo Printing Guide. If not, then thats the place to look. If you have been working with that guide I'm not sure I can help you to much further, but I may be able to help you find what you missed with some more details.

Just had to emerge with ppds flags on the hpijs drivers...then the config menu in cups works and it is very easy, much easier than the gentoo printing guide.

Thats good to hear. Since it seems to be easier, how do use/get to an interface on cups with the config menu, I've only seen terminal interfaces for cups.

open up konqueror or your favorite browser and go to localhost:631(while cups is running of course).

That is much nicer than the printing guide, thanks for the tip.
