[opensuse] Network printing problem
Greetings I'm not great at networking stuff so I've probably missed something obvious, but I have a Lexmark Optra S printer. It has no ethernet connection but I want to hook it up to the network so the wife can use it rather using the obscenely expensive to run Canon bubblejet thing. So I got a TP-Link print server and hooked it up. And this is where it gets odd. I can ping the print server, I changed the ip address to match our subnet (10.0... etc, default was 192.168.etc) via my browser. But for some odd reason when I try to get the printer setup in YAST (I use OpenSuSE 11.4) it can't locate it. Anyone have any ideas? Firewall is switched off. Main machine has a fixed ip 10.1.1.3, print server is 10.1.1.10, samba is running. DHCP is not Annoyingly, I have Win 7 running in a Virtualbox instance on this machine and that prints no problem. So that would seem to narrow it down to CUPS. But I set it up in CUPS and it says it's not there The print server knows the printer is there and I can ping the print server and get into the admin via a browser and do all the settings Hair on right hand side of head is thin from scratching.
