A friend gave me a really nice printer, an Epson Artisan 810. It connects to my wireless router and has an IP address, and that is the way he used to use it. He had a mac. My daughter connected to it easily enough with her mac.
How do I connect to it in openSUSE? It has a MAC address and an IP address, but I don't know what to do about it. I cannot tell anywhere that it is connected by TCP socket, LPD protocol, or IPP protocol.
Try printing to it at http://<ipaddr>:631
I am not sure how to just "print" to an http address, so I tried to add a printer using yast at the address http://<ipaddr>:631. I hit the "connection wizard" and under "connectin type" selected "special -> Specify Arbitrary Device URI. Under the URI I put as the address http://<ipaddr>:631 as you can see in my picture. It installed, so I thought, but no connection to the printer, as it would not print a test page. Here is my picture link of how I tried to make it connect: http://picpaste.com/printersetup-xzHH2Gvb.png On the connection wizard, is there a different type of connection I need to make? Otherwise, how do I simply "print" to an http address like you suggested? I am not familiar with a bash command for that. I did try the following: # ls -l > http://192.168.254.105:631 bash: http://192.168.254.105:631: No such file or directory # But as you can see nothing happened. -- G.O.
