Howdy,
I'm trying to get printing to work with my new systemd installation, but
can't get lpr or lp to work on one of the two printers. Both printers
work with my Windows 7 machine.
I've gone through everything I can find on the Cups home page, which was
quite helpful in getting to where I am now with this.
At this point, the Cups "Printers" tab correctly lists my two printers,
the "Jobs" tab lists the three print jobs I submitted to the one that's
not printing, I can print from the other printer, and I can ping both
printers using their IP addresses. So I know that things are working up
to a point.
I can also list what's on the print queues with lpq like this:
lpq -P <printer name>
This lists the same three pending print jobs as the Cups tab does.
The only thing apparently missing is output from the one printer.
I ran into this recently. My workaround was to create:
$ cat /etc/cups/client.conf
ServerName 192.168.0.3
That lets the system that works do the work.
It's not ideal, but it worked for me. I've recently ordered a new
printer and I'll see if I can do better there.
