I have a HP LaserJet 2200d printer connected to my Ubuntu Server 12.04, and I can print files locally with lpr command. Here's the output of lpstat:

    cce@puntti:~$ lpstat -p -d
    printer HP_LaserJet_2200 is idle.  enabled since Thu 21 Mar 2013 01:23:31 AM EET
    no system default destination

I added and configured the printer through the CUPS web interface. The problem is, I can't set it up properly on my Windows 7 x64 client machine. When I try to connect to the shared printer from the Windows Network view, it yields "No driver found" message.

I can select a HP LaserJet 2200 Series PCL 5 driver from the list manually, but printing with it doesn't seem to work, since the print job becomes instantly "complete" but the printer stays idle. No entries are added to the CUPS "completed jobs" log nor to /var/log/cups/error_log.

The official HP drivers for Windows 7 x64 are no use since they cannot detect a network printer properly.

On the server side the driver is HP LaserJet 2200 hpijs pcl3, 3.12.2 from the hplip package.

Here's the CUPS configuration file:

Well I fiddled with the settings and it seems to work now. I chose HP LaserJet 2200 Series PCL 5 as the Windows driver and HP LaserJet 2200 Foomatic/Postscript from the serverside. It seems to only achieve 600x600 dpi resolution though.

Edit: A new twist: only printing the test page (from Windows) works. So back to square one.

Another edit: Solved, I had to add the printer as an IPP printer.
