| i have cups running on my desktop. How cvan i print from my laptop to it. I connected cups on my laptop to lpd://gentoo/tp0. I have the turboprint filter on the desktop so i sent the data as raw. Is this right. It gives the error "Attempting to connect to host gentoo for printer tp0" and stays. I'll install turboprint on the laptoop if need be, but i think its another problem. |

I have the same set up. Turboprint on the printer machine (RH). Client cups set up as a lpd-raw device. Works fine. Do you have a firewall running that prevents the connection to the lpd port?

|

The cups admistrator's manual has good info on this at http://www.cups.org/sam.html#6_1.
If you type the following (replacing server with the name of the computer to which the printer is connected and printer with the name of that printer) on your client machine it should work
| Code: | lpadmin -p printer -E -v ipp://server/printers/printer ENTER
|
For example, | Code: | | lpadmin -p amarillo -E -v ipp://rojo/printers/amarillo ENTER |
Also, a very useful cups tools is the command line lpstat: will show you all available printers (issue on client and server machines to see what's visible) and
shows you which device each printer is connected to, either locally or on the network.
If you then open localhost:631 in the browser of the client machine, you should see the printers with their correct paths pointing to the server. |
