[Bug 80798] Confinguration of Network-based printer unclear

[Jon "maddog" Hall]

Public bug reported:

I have a D-Link DP-G310 Wireless print-server attached to an Epson
Stylus Photo R300

I installed Ubuntu "Edgy"  I go to add a printer.  It has "local" and
"networked".  I chose "networked".  It gave me choices of:

CUPS Printer (IPP)
Windows Printer (SMB)
Unix Printer (LPD)
HP Jet Direct

I did not have one of those proprietary HP Jet Direct thingamabobs, so I
concentrated on the other three entries in the list.  I spent quite a
bit of time trying to figure out how to use the other three
(unsuccessfully), when I should have chosen "HP Jet Direct"

What I really needed to chose was:

"Raw network device (e.g.) HP JetDirect Card or D-Link print server"

and I would have been printing much sooner.  Perhaps you could reword "HP Jet Direct"
to point people who have other network print servers.

Thanks,

maddog
