I'm trying to use CUPS, to print from my notebook computer (SuSE 9.1), via VPN to a printer connected to my desktop system (SuSE 9.0). However, I don't seem to get indication from CUPS on the desktop system, that it's receiving the print jobs. I believe there's a setting in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, that allows CUPS to only work with local printers, but I'm not sure what it would be. I can print from the notebook, when it's plugged into the same LAN as the desktop system.
Any ideas?
It sounds like a networking problem. Is the 'laptop printer' defined as a networked printer ie with its location on another machine? How are you sending the jobs (wirelessly, infrared, wing and a prayer)? Is the printer shared on your desktop system so that the laptop user can use the printer? -- The printed Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 Licenced Windows user ========================================================================
