For hp-makeuri, I get:

hp:/net/Officejet_6500_E709n?ip=192.168.0.7

I'm wondering if somehow something is wrong with CUPS.  It just stalls when selecting the make of the printer.  I should get a new page with a list of HP drivers to select from.

I found some reviews online that state it was easy to install this printer for Linux.  I'm sure I can use a smilar print driver, until a newer one is available.

I'm looking for ideas why CUPS would hang waiting for a response from my server after selecting the make.  I don't want to uninstall and reinstall CUPS.  :)
