Public addresses are usually set into a modem/router/firewall device. Everything behind that device should have a local address in one of the ranges previously mentioned. I can ping that address (74.42.148.191) from my computer and get a rapid response, verifying that it is indeed a public address.. I should not be able to do that if that is the address of your local computer. If you do actually have a public address assigned to and being used by your computer, you have a much bigger problem on your hands than your printer. You said the IP address, netmask, and gateway are set on your printer. Are you willing to share that information as well as the same information for your computer? So far, it still sounds like a network/communications issue. Until you can successfully ping the printer from the computer, demonstrating viable communications between the two, there is little point in fooling around with the drivers, cups, etc. Michael _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
