 |
|
I'm trying to share a printer using cups with an other Gentoo box. Both boxes are running KDE, have CUPS installed and running, and were built with cups in the USE variable. Also I DO NOT have iptable running on either box and they are both connected to the same hub and are able to share files with NFS.
I can print fine from the box directly attached to the printer, but the other box dosen't see the printer. I think I have browsing enabled in cupsd.conf.
| Code: |
Browsing On
BrowseProtocols CUPS
BrowsePort 631
BrowseInterval 30
BrowseTimeout 300
BrowseAddress 255.255.255.255
BrowseOrder allow,deny
|
I've also tried to manualy add the printer to the other box with the URI ipp://<SERVER>/printers/<PRINTER_NAME> using the cups web interface but that didn't work either
Does anyone know something else for me to try or a good place to learn more about setting up a CUPS server. |

| Does anyone have this working? I'm sure I'm just missing something simple, but I don't know what else to try. |

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but 255.255.255.255 means exact host address. I think you may need 255.255.255.0 for you LAN class C.

| Thanks, but that dosen't seem to help. I'm trying to browse using the add remote cups printer from the KDE control center. Is there a better/different way to browse? |
