Ok, this is what I have done:
Printer Setup Utility Add printer with these settings IP-Print - LPD/LPR - 192.168.0.1 - HP 5MP'
The IP address is correct and is recognised in the Utility, but when I go to print it won't.
I have even tried setting up the printer again on the other Mac, but I cannot get that to work either, only the old installation.
What/how should I do it ????
Check the documentation for the router; I'll bet it uses a specific (and non-standard) queue name.
OSX provides a default of 'lp' or 'lpr' I think.
Look in the Mac that works at the file /etc/cups/printers.conf
Find the section associated with the working printer setup :
like:
<Printer print_on_pharmacy-xeroxcolor> Info Xerox color DeviceURI lpd://pharmacy-xeroxcolor/print State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer>
The queue name (print) here is at the end of the printer uri: lpd://pharmacy-xeroxcolor/print
Put whatever is there in the queue name field in the Printer Setup screen.
The HP printers in my setup just have the printer name:
<DefaultPrinter pharmacy-317> Info pharmacy-317 DeviceURI lpd://pharmacy-317 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer>
(because the JetDirects will take anything that comes to the lpd port and treat it as a print stream.)
