I tried to set up my HP660 inkjet following the steps in the handbook.
I always get the error message "lpd[267] cannot execv 
/usr/local/libexec/if-simple."  What does it mean?  I have tried to 
run if-simple and it echoed everything I typed.  There were some discussion
about this problem but not solution.  Does anyone know how to fix this
problem?   Thank you in advance.
Tony
