Network Printer Offline?
Main computer is Debian Woody, 2.4.18 kernel connected through a Linksys
Wireless Point Router to a DSL modem. Printer is HP Deskjet 940c
installed with CUPS. KDE System print manager says its URI is
ipp://Phoenix:631/printers/lp. (Phoenix has nothing to do with software
of that name; I named the computer Phoenix because I have rebuilt it so
many times.)
Laptop (my grandson's, not mine) is an IBM Thinkpad, Windows XP with an
Actiontec Wireless USB Adapter. Windows XP Add Printer cannot find the
Phoenix printer though it has no trouble connecting to the internet
through the Router.
A third computer can be booted up in Windows ME with the Actiontec
Wireless USB Router. In this case Add Printer reports the Phoenix
printer is offline.
As far as I know, the Phoenix printer should be online. It prints
documents from KDE and there is a line
printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd
at the end of inetd.conf.
I am still new at getting all of this set up so perhaps I have
missed something crucial. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
