Don't know if it matters, but I config'd my 8.2 installation to use LPR to my HP Jetdirect for straight tcpip printing to the unit. Suse asked me which port to print to, that tells me that Suse connected to and received info from the jetdirect about how many ports it has. Worked fine, nothing special to have to do. -Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Damian Buckley" Newsgroups: Suse.Linux-e To: Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 5:40 AM Subject: [SLE] Adding a TCP/IP printer to my suse 8.0 machine? Hi, I have a suse 8.0 machine sitting on my tcp/ip network. I have been unable to get it to print via my novell server - novell printers so want to set it up to print via tcp/ip to a printer I have enabled for this. If I go into Printer Manager and add a new printer, select Windows TCP/IP, scan the network, add the printer ip address which is found no problem, enter the port and click next, it asks me for the correct driver, but there's nothing in there it is emtpy. I can select postscript driver but it gives an error saying no driver available or I can click Raw printer, which it accepts but when I goto test it says it cannot create a temp printer. How can I get the correct driver to appear in the box? Am I going a long way round doing this? Seems really hard to set printers up in linux....
