It wouldn't work because 127.0.0.1 is a system thing. 192.168.1.2 is a hardware thing (network hardware). cups is a software driver to access the hardware, so you have to commicate with the software and let it communicate with the hardware. Glad it's working. On Sat, 2002-12-21 at 08:03, James.Rocks@equant.com wrote:
Hi Ed,
Thanks for that it worked EXACTLY like you said leaving me only one question ... why wouldn't it work when I used the machines IP or name (192.168.1.2:631 or giles-lx:631) but DID work using 127.0.0.1 (the former both come up with "Forbidden ... you don't have permission to access the resource on this server).
Weird!
Anyway thanks for your help!
