I have NO printers configured in my laptop...default gentoo install. when i'm on the net, it gets the broadcast from the mac and I can print...when i'm not, i have no printers at all. Thanks John, Let me understand this right: Have you installed cups on the laptop? Any printer drivers? When you run localhost:631 in a browser on your laptop, what do you see under printers when the laptop is connected to the mac and what when it's not? (assuming you restart cupsd on each case to refresh its status). PS. An OT question - I am really curious what is the default mac firewall settings. Can you please post the output of: # iptables -L -v -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It WORKS! :-D Thanks Richard, thank you all. The mistake was with me missing out the /printers/ part of the address. Hmm, perhaps the Example given on the gui needs improving? Last question and then I'll be good to print until I run out of money to pay for the *extremely expensive* HP ink ;-) What rule should I add to the firewall on the server to allow it to accept cups requests from the client. I don't want to open a great big hole for all traffic, just the cups requests only. With the firewall working the client logs show: Network host '192.168.0.3' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds... Also, if I were to tweak the cupsd.conf file with security in mind what would be your recommendations for a good set up? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Are you running cups? From: Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2005/11/30 Wed PM 02:31:16 EST To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-user] Re: Re: Home Network Printing Guys, this is ridiculous! Every time I want to print something from my main Linux machine I have to physically disconnect the printer from the second box and connect it to this one. The way this is going I will soon need to buy another parallel port connector because the pins will wear out! Surely, it can't be that difficult. I mean, it obviously is for me, but a lot of people have cracked it. It should be straight forward printing from one Linux box to the other. Please ask if you need more info from config files etc. In hope that some advice will soon arrive ;-) Cheers, Michael Kintzios wrote: From:: Oliver Friedrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Home Network Printing Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2005 11:58:27 +0100 Michael Kintzios wrote: I created a new printer on hostname1 and also named it Compaq-HP.

Are you using cups? If so, you may have to edit the cupsd.conf on the printer host to allow connections to cupsd from other hosts. There is a whole section in cupsd.conf that deals with access. Very similar to the apache config file. Cheers, Kevin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
