networkprinting/cups
Hi,
my desktop has an HP-720C, which works fine on cups locally.
If I use KDE menu Settings/Printing Manager, I can open a printer wizard
offering me all kind of things (to be able to push prints to the LAN I
think, I want to pull them from the LAN).
Do I need to do something here to make the desktop a network print server?
After startup of my LAN connected laptop, I get with the same menu item
"unable to retrieve printerlist".
After "OK", no wizard. Did "/etc/init.d/cupsys restart" .
After that the printing manager has no errors, but offers the
pseudoprinters only, again no wizard.
Debconf cupsys only asks about printing unknown mime's as raw.
The systems are both Debian Sarge and afaik 99% default. Did bastille on
them.
Same packages as far as related to cups.
The computers have a common switch/ADSL router to internet, using DHCP.
Works fine towards the internet and vv. Local pinging and SSH works.
Aha, /etc/initd.conf enabled imaps and pop3 only so I removed the #in
#printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd
and restarted initd on both machines. Probably only required on the desktop.
No improvement, what more to do?
mvg Boudewijn
