-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, What about a real problem, in a real situation? ( i recall sending you this at jsmeix@suse.de , but never got any response, must have been caught in the 'spamshredder'..)

Hi JSM,

We met in Resolved Bug #250113 , and in opensuse mailing.

As the expert you are, i have a question , that will most likely be very simple to you, (i hope), so you might want to answer it, end solve my little problem?

Here it is:

(sent to cups mailing list, some time ago, but never answered..)

Hello interrested members of this list, (and hopefully one expert among you, who is willing share the solution.;-)

I have one printer, connected to lpt#1, (local) which is shared in the network. The machine, an IBM PIV 1.8Ghz, is one part productionmachine: XP, shares printer to all windows, and linux clients, + is Dual boot SuSE 10.3 testingmachine. The printer must be able to print at all times.

If the productionmachine (XP) is on, no problem to find the printer, and use it, Windows easy, Linux bij using the ip adress for the printer.

But, when SuSE103 is on, the one printer is seen as the networkprinter, AND as the local printer, so 2 printers are listed, and either one of them is useable. When i want to use the local one, this is 'forbidden' by cups (localhost:631), When i want to use the network printer, it is paused... So no printing can be done when testing SuSE103...

We talk about 'one' EPSON Stylus C64 Photoedition, using CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0, for Lin2Win, and if possible for Lin2Lin.

How can i solve this? (is it solvable?)

(unfortunately this model cannot work with a printserver, if so, there would be no problem at all..)

This is an 'actual' and 'real', 'existing' problem, which i would realy have to be solved. The catch is in this: > # Host name of the SMB host (always needed) Because for the: > The printer share is identified by unique "names" in the network: Which part will be recognised: The OS, or netbios name? Q: What will happen if the netbios name is the same in both OS's? (there can be only one OS up at the time...) - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.
