We have an HP all in one USB device that we connected to the network via
a Linksys ASUS print server. We also just got a Dell 1720DN networked
printer.

Both devices work via USB on both my F9 machine and a Windows machine.

The Dell is connected directly to the network. If I
http://192.168.1.110, the printer configuration page comes up.

The HP is connected to the print server, which is connected to the
network. If I http://192.168.107 , I get the print server setup page.

I'd like to get the Dell 1720DN running first.

Here is what I am doing. I start system-config-printer. I select New
Printer. The New Printer window appears. Now it wants me to select a
connection.

My options are AppSocket/HP JetDirect, Internet Printing Protocol,
LPD/LPR Host or Printer or Other.

What connection should I use for the 1720DN and where do I go from
there ?

Just use AppSocket/HP JetDirect. Enter the IP or hostname in the
hostname field and leave the port number 9100 alone. In the
next step select the printer from the database or provide your own
PPD if you have it.

Dell ships a linux app for installing the 1720 on the CDROM, but I
thought I would be able to set the 1720 to PS emulation and connect to
it the way I connect to a CUPS server. Am I wrong ?

Thanks

The drivers in those CDROMs are usually older.
CUPS normally does a good job.
