Comment 15 for bug 374416

Okay for your explanation, nevertheless my cpu is up to 100% with gs and
sed during all the tries to connect. I took this as a sign that the
processing was not yet terminated.

Regarding my tries :

LPD :
*supported by the printer
*I never achieved to print anything (even the test page)
*URI after following your indications : lpd://192.168.1.117

SMB :
*supported by the printer
*I had to install 'samba'
*After waiting several minutes, the 'workgroup' finally appeared at
'browse...' and I could find the printer
*test page prints on two pages (same result on two tries):
 **one page with : %-12345X@PJL JOB NAME="stdin"
 **one page almost entirely black with some vertical stripes (monochrome
printing)
*see [job 41] vas a color test page

IPP :
*supported by the printer
*I had to fiddle with the URI to get some results : URI:
ipp://192.168.1.117:80/ipp
*works well
*[job 42] the out.pnm file with Icm color corection : default.icm
*[job 43] the out.pnm file with Icm color correction : file 1.icm (the
one which causes problem)

In short :
No success in lpd : printer not seen (bad URI probably)
No success in smb : garbage sent to printer (bug ?)
Success with ipp which prints the file in less than 6 minutes

Conclusion :
Alhtough it takes an awful lot of time, the printer is now printing this
image.
At least two problem remain :
*the socket problem
*the samba problem

If you feel there is a need to continue working on these items, I'll be
glab to help if I can.

Thanks for your help.
