This printer is networked, connected to the router via an ethernet cable.

I extracted the attached PPD file from the HPLIP file on a Linux platform. It seems I may have installed the printer successfully but CUPS Administration reports that it "requires proprietary plugin".

Anybody have any experience w/ the subject, and any idea on the plugin? Or may I just have to use Windows (and perhaps Linux) for printing w/ it?

My "HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1606dn" should work with foomatic.

With the Driver "HP LaserJet? Pro P1606dn Foomatic/foo2zjs-z2 (recommended) (grayscale, 2-sided printing)" I get "/cups/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip.exe failed"

On Commandline I get:

[c:\cups\lib\cups\filter]foomatic-rip.exe
SYS0193: C:\cups\lib\cups\filter\foomatic-rip.exe cannot be run in a OS/2 sessio
n. "C:\cups\lib\cups\filter\foomatic-rip.exe"

Maybe because the EXE is only 27 Bytes big - there seems to be something broken. There is a second "foomatic-rip.exe" in the WPI with 37K. It is extracted to cups/bin - is this correct?

The newer foomatic-rip.exe from "cups-filters-1.0.61-os2-20141011.zip" is about 300K gives no error. There is only one foomatic-rip.exe in this ZIP, extracted to "lib\cups\filter".

So my Question: Is there a defect in "Foomatic-rip-4_0_5.wpi" and its files?

When printing a 4x6 photo from PMView, the print never leaves the OS/2 printing subsystem, its job status is "Forms Mismatch". The form name is there reported as "w288h432/4x6".
Setup details:
Cups settings via browser: Cups 1.4.8, printer name "CupsPhoto?", driver printer "Canon PIXMA iP4000 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 (color, 2-sided printing)", media=oe_w228h432_4x6in
Printer settings in OS/2: driver "Canon PIXMA IP4000", job properties: paper 4x6, output port localhost:CupsPhoto[[BR]]

This was working properly before (Cups 1.4.6), I suspect it might have to do with the printer definition in Gutenprint; old versions of Gutenprint had a seperate file for each printer, now the definitions are generated as needed . Note that the "media" type in Cups is not literally the same as the form name in OS/2.
