Hi All, I am sure that this is an easy thing to achieve, but for some reason I seem to fail to get it going. Probably because I do not completely understand the logic. The setup is as follows:
I have two boxen, hostname1.STUDY and hostname2.STUDY. hostname2 has the printer connected to it via parallel port. The printer's name is Compaq-HP. Hostname2 can print locally without a hitch. I created a new printer on hostname1 and also named it Compaq-HP. I set the ipp address to ipp://hostname2.STUDY/ipp but I kept getting errors telling me it can't resolve the address. So I changed it to the LAN ip address (ipp://192.163.0.3/ipp)and it seems that it can now connect, but it cannot find the printer: ========================================= I [21/Nov/2005:21:55:47 +0000] [Job 44] Connecting to 192.168.0.3 on port 631...

Am I meant to add the printer name on the ipp://192.168.0.3/ipp? Regards, -- Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
