But mandriva always did! this is very minor, because I know how to make the oprinbter work, IP:9100 akways do the job (ans Windows is not better on this respect), but when doing demos, it's not nice! I had several laser networked printers (kyocera, brother, now HP5M or HP5N, hp c4180 on a print server). They all worked out of the box connected to 198.168.0.5:9100 for the HP5M now, or 198.168.0.254:9100 for the c4180. notice that: * cups don't do any better (from localhost) * if I fill manually the IP, the "test server" find the printer most of the time, but not all the time. * I don't have any mandriva install at hand (just a mandriva friend that mock me every time he have to install the printer) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
