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:
=========================================

=========================================
lpstats shows both printers (local and remote):
=========================================
$ lpstat -t

system default destination: Compaq-HP

printer Compaq-HP is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
printer DeskJet-930C disabled since Jan 01 00:00 -

=========================================
Would you know why it can't resolve hostname2.STUDY? Am I meant to add
the printer name on the ipp://192.168.0.3/ipp?
