I forget the exact symptoms, but using raw IP addresses does not always work. It's not clear why just adding an entry to /etc/hosts is not possible, but that or an entry in the DNS server is generally the best way.___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Thanks, Antonio Does the name HP_Color_LaserJet_CP4520 resolve to its IP address? What about using a FQDN? Does the name exist in your local DNS zone or does the name exist in the local /etc/hosts file? Either make sure the name is resolvable, or specify the IP address in the /etc/printcap file. Your HP printer should be equipped with a JetDirect card, and you should be able to print a configuration page revealing the current settings. If the settings doesn't match your network, then you need to input the desired settings. I guess this would be possible through the use of the LCD display and the buttons nearby.

I got it to work by using the last example in your page, copied it over to /etc/printcap: lp:\ :lp=9100@netlaser:\ :sh:\ :mx#0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: then ran # sed -i 's|9100@netlaser|9100@10.155.135.3|g' and it has printed successfully :) Now I will do this with two other machines to be able to print to this network printer. Thanks to all who helped figure this out. I had not even tried to connect, but reading on another site that it was not hard to do, I tried it and it has succeeded!
