Till,

I followed the instructions as per the netwrok section of the above
page. Both printers pinged fine. On the nmap for each IP address, the
Samsung showed up, but it said the Epson might be blocking, and to use
nmap -Pn. Then it did show a printer there. I ran through everything
else (no printers showed up in cups), then closed the terminal, and
opened it again to run everything a second time and to save it to a text
file. This time cups found both printers when running the commands the
second time. I ran through the rest of the commands to the end. I then
check the text file I thought I was creating and it only had the last
command saved, so I didn't attach it. Since the output showed cups was
finding the printers now, I went to the Ubuntu printer dialog box,
clicked on add printer, both showed up, both were installed, and both
printed test pages. I then did a reboot, and both printers printed fine
after the reboot. I have no idea what made it start working to see the
printers, but all is fine now. I don't know if you remember me or not.
You've helped with other printer issues in the past. I have been greatly
appreciative of everything. Thank you so very much for all of your
assistance. If you want me to do any more testing on this to try to
figure out what was wrong, please let me know.
