It looks like you haven't set up a new queue for use with hplip. Assuming you 
use CUPS, in the cups browser interface, choose device "AppSocket/Hp 
JetDirect", then enter a device URI that hplip understands. Supposedly you 
can find the correct URI by running

hplip]$ /usr/share/hplip/probe -bnet (with the printer on)

For some reason, I haven't yet been able to use hplip/probe on my system (even 
with iptables stopped). If you can't get it to work for you, try using this 
device URI in CUPS:

hp:/net/Photosmart_2600_series?ip=192.168.x.x (use your printer's IP address)


If you want to leave hpoj installed, you will need to stop it before starting 
hplip, because they cannot be run at the same time.

On my FC1 system:

]# /etc/init.d/ptal-init stop
]# /etc/init.d/hplip start

I have hplip start at boot instead of hpoj:

]# /sbin/chkconfig --del ptal-init
]# /sbin/chkconfig --add hplip


A further note: I just installed the latest hplip (0.8.8) and am having some 
trouble with it. hplip-0.8.7 works pretty well for me, though there are a few 
issues here that may or may not be related to my system (mis?)configuration.

I'm interested in hearing your results.
