I have a SuSE 9.2 Pro server with a printer attached to its LPT port nd configured via CUPS as a full server installation. I have tested the printer via YAST and I get the ASCII characters test print. On the SuSE 9.0 Pro client, I have a CUPS client side install only and have tried to configure it to use the server configured printer. Alas NO Luck, even after specifying the server as 192.168.0.1/dev/lp0(Should that perhaps be //192.168.0.1/dev.lp0?). I have tried searching for IPP hosts and all hosts but cannot seem to get the client to recognize/communicate with the server CUPS install and let it use the servers printer. I have been through the firewall settings on the server to check that it wasn't being restricted and have also pinged the server->client and client->server. How should I go about and test to find out where the error is? ie perhaps start a client side test print and then when it fails where should I look as the entries in /var/log/cups have not changed at all whilst I have been testing and trying to get printing working. Can printer sharing be done between Linux boxen on the same private network(192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2)? I would certainly think so. P,S,L No online updates have been done to the 9.0 box, as I am on dialup and it is more than painful to be unemployed and have to sit through a 2-3 hr download. -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
