...When I did press 'Print' on the Mozilla GUI I was presented with a KPrinter GUI that said it was initialising and that it was connected to Umalusi:631. NO amount of clicking on the close option or even looking for kprinter under a terminal screen could get the KPrinter dialogs to disappear. I also tried the printer manager from the printer icon on the task bar with the same result. It actually took 2 reboots to rid myself of the Kprinter dialogs.
So, now what needs tweaking? Especially since I get a 100msec ping reply from the server when I ping 192.168.0.1 on the client side.
I assume that because I am getting a reply back on the ping that the machines are 'talking' to one another. Where should I check error messages after I have tried to print?
For testing CUPS you should be using the commands that come with CUPS. Have a look at the manual that comes with cups before you end up messing up the config files again. http://localhost:631 Firstly what is the output of lpstat -t on both your server and client. Kprinter has the problem of not recognising a new IP address if it has an IP address already set. Check on the client machine in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeprinterrc and make sure it has the correct IP address in it as shown below [CUPS] Host=<IP-Address> (should be the same as /etc/cups/client.conf). Don't worry if there is no setting for your server as long as it doesn't have an invalid IP address. -- Regards, Graham Smith
