I used to print to a LAN CUPS printer at lanmachine:631/printers/printername until I recently took that (parallel port printer) and hooked it up to lp0 on my local machine. Since then I cannot seem to print from any local application nor does lpstat show any printers:
currently this is what I see: $ lpstat lpstat: Unable to connect to server: No route to host I think it's still trying to connect to the old CUPS printer on a different machine however: $ lpstat -h localhost -t scheduler is running system default destination: gray-deskjet device for gray-deskjet: parallel:/dev/lp0 device for pdfprt: cups-pdf:/ gray-deskjet accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 pdfprt accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 printer gray-deskjet is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 printer pdfprt is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 The only way I can print to my local printer is if I select "print test page" from the CUPS web interface so I know the printer is working. The funny thing is that I can also print to this local printer from other machines - Linux and Windows via IPP/CUPS. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
