OK, I may be getting somewhere. I removed the "IfRequested - Use encryption if the server requests it" - although I would have thought that some pop up would appear asking for user name/passwd? The gui interface on the client shows the printer URL as follows: Device URI: http://192.168.0.3:631/Compaq-HP Checking the server's cups error log I get: =========================== get_printer_attrs: resource name '/Compaq-HP' no good! =========================== The client gives the same old printer does not exist error: =========================== I [01/Dec/2005:20:13:20 +0000] [Job 67] Connecting to 192.168.0.3 on port 631...

Why is the "/" separator interpreted as part of the name of the printer? What is the correct syntax? The gui gives the following examples when adding a printer: =========================== Examples: file:/path/to/filename.prn http://hostname:631/ipp/ http://hostname:631/ipp/port1 ipp://hostname/ipp/ ipp://hostname/ipp/port1 lpd://hostname/queue socket://hostname socket://hostname:9100 =========================== Anyawy, I've tried all possible ipp combinations to no avail. :-( -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
