In other case, i have this the same problem with my Canon printer also. And so, what kind of approach should i do? Anyway, i try also your suggestion.
The most simple generic solution I can think of that should work for the majority of printers: 1. Install CUPS 2. Download the appropriate PPD for your printer(s) from http://www.linuxprinting.org. If printer is HP, install hplip 3. Copy the PPD to wherever CUPS scans for PPDs on startup (Distro dependent). On Debian, it's /usr/share/cups/model/. There should be something similar for your distro. 4. Edit cupsd.conf to accept network connections 5. Restart CUPS 6. Configure your printer through http://$server:631 7. Test network printing. Printer should be accessible through ipp://$server/printers/$printer_name or http://$server:631/printers/$printer_name (Windows XP only understands http. Haven't tested Win2k. Win9x requires samba.) _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
