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: [email protected] >> 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.
