Hardware / Re: H.P. 3630 - anybody got one of these working on OS2?

Hi
I set the printer to use a fixed IP address (I had first set it up using windows) then having updated my ECS with the latest Cups files - I use ver 2.1.0 - I just used the printer install routine to select the printer (cups wizard program) and selected the Deskjet 3630 series which is listed under HP. I then input the IP address of the printer in the manual settings field and selected create printer. I use socket:// instead of LPD:// to access the printer which appears to be quicker. You can then adjust the settings using the CUPS localhost:631 page in your browser.
As the printer is an all-in-one - I could not get the scanner to work with Paul's HPLip port - however the printer allows you to remote scan using its web interface in ECS - which works really well and is cool!!
Hope that helps.
