I am currently on my annual visit to a department with a large OCE 3145
printer. Years ago (maybe SUSE 9.3) I could connect to it and print just
fine. Then, for the past couple of years I cannot connect to it from
within SUSE 10.0, but could print from Windows running in a vmware
machine running under SUSE 10.0. Now, I can do neither.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to print to this printer?
There is a computer hanging off the back of it, and it is connected to
the network. I know its IP address, and it shows up in scans for devices
using port 515. I can actually set it up by selecting that device and
specifying the OCE driver, but no test page prints. When I try printing
a test page as user, the printer instantly switches to offline.
My old windows VM suggests it was printing to it as an LPD device, but
this no longer works.
A Debian machine on my desk prints to it via the lpr command and from
Mozilla (as a quick test) with the command:
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
At home, I print to a networked Optra R just fine.
TIA, ds
