Bug Description
Installing my Officejet 6315 All-in-one with "HPLIP Toolbox" on a new install of Ubuntu 9.10x64 on my laptop and adding the hplip-cups package, as suggested in Bug #459275, I got an error message stating that hplip cannot connect to printer. Also hplip in the systray showed a "Device communication error".
Starting hp-systray from a terminal I got:
"error: Unable to communicate with device (code=12): hp:/net/
The connection worked fine when I connected my laptop via LAN. It did not work when the laptop was connected via WLAN. The printer was always connected via LAN.
I could solve the problem changing the URI of the printer via System-
hp:/net/
and restarting hp-systray. (192.168.1.2 is the fixed ip-address assigned to my printer)
