[SOLVED] HP LaserJet 5 printer

Hello,
I've HP LaserJet 5 printer in my lan. It's connected to switch with 192.168.0.100 IP. I've allready installed it on 3 computers (1x arch, 2x ubuntu) but can't install it on another arch.

I have installed some print packages like cups, hplip, foomatic-db-engine etc. Cups server is running. I've also add new printer - socket://192.168.0.100:9100. Everything is setup like on other Archlinux running laptop. But printer is not responding (I can only ping it :/ ).

Any ideas?

I recently experienced the same problem with a networked printer.  Re-installing perl solved the problem.

# pacman -S perl

Cheers

Thanks, now it works.
It's a bug?
