Is there a way to print to this printer from linux
Hi, We have at office a printer which is connected directly to the LAN. (It is **not** connected as a slave for any PC). It has a local IP address. Is there a way to print to this printer from a linux client ? I know that there is a linux driver for this printer. (But I am not talking of course about connecting it as a slave to the linux client.)

CUPS is very tricky to set up, I wrote some simple ways to do it (avoid the Red Hat or SuSE scripts) for another mailing list, I can did them out if you want, or look at the YellowDog linux archives.

Sure you can. you can set things up with CUPS, or if you want the real easy way, use KDE printer configurations. Let KDE printer configuration scan your IP address range (or tell it directly what is the printer's IP address). Also, most of the times the port to talk to the printer's IP address is 9100. So run the config, select the IP, select the printer from the printers list (if it's not there, you can manually feed a PPD file from your printer's CD media, or simply choose a compatible printer from the list), select if you need any banners, do a test printing and thats it. You're done :) Thanks, Hetz -- Visit my blog (hebrew) for things that (sometimes) matter: http://wp.dad-answers.com On 3/10/06, Rafi Gordon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, We have at office a printer which is connected directly to the LAN.

Thank god you only need the left mouse button.
