It seems that http://<printserver>:631/printers/normal, works. However, I had to update the win98 network settings. As it appears it could not resolve the printservers system name. I used ethereal to investigate it. ethereal also revealed that "lp:password" is not correctly handled, and should not be part of the url.
Format is actually user:password@printserver:631/printers/printername
And it's not strictly necessary to have the password in there anyway on a local network. You can just set up cups to ALLOW FROM the local net.
John, win98 tried to resolve the system name "lp", which does not exist of course. It therefor stated that the printer was off line.... -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
