I have a laserjet IIP connected to the first port/queue "L1" of a standalone Linksys printserver (Model EPSX3). In my /etc/hosts file I have a line 192.168.7.55 printserver.localdomain printserver In my /etc/cups/printers.conf file I have </Printer> <DefaultPrinter lp> Info lj2p Location DeviceURI lpd://printserver/L1 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets </Printer> In that fifth line, printserver refers to that dotted quad defined in /etc/hosts. The lpd: would appear to me to tell you what cups likes to see. I suspect you should then be able to replace the //printserver by the equivalent for your router. (That L1 is just how that linksys box distinguishes the first printer queue from the other two.) doug

Re: [Wlug] printer server on router

thanks for the reply. yes router has a printer port on it. I just compiled kups, selected socket, and did a network scan(192.168.254.0-192.168.254.255 on port 515). kups did find one on 192.168.254.254 which is the router. then I selected the printer configuration. But still does not print a test page? any ideas? baris On 15 Mar 2002 15:12:29 -0500 Wesley Allen <wallen(a)charter.net> wrote: > Well, that's a good question.

Re: [Wlug] printer server on router

by Wesley Allen

Well, that's a good question. It's a router with a printer port, or a networked printer "naturally"). Either way, cups should be able to see any printer on the the network. I'm thinking that printing directly to a network socket would work, at least tha't what I did with networked printers where I used to work. My sugguestion is this, and I know is a total cop-out, get KUPS and do a network scan to look for printers. If it's on the network. Cups should be seeing it.

printer server on router

by Baris Hasdemir

hi all, I am trying to configure cups 1.1.14 on slackware 8 to print on a printer connected to the router(siemens speedstream 2614). Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to print even a garbage. what should I use? ipp:// or socket:// or lpd:// or what? and how? device options on cups: -------------------------- AppSocket/HP JetDirect Internet Printing Protocol(http) Internet Printing Protocol(ipp) LPD/LPR Host or Printer Parallel Port Serial Port#1 to #32 device url options ise sunlar: ---------------------------------- Examples: file:/path/to/filename.prn http://hostname:631/ipp/ http://hostname:631/ipp/port1 ipp://hostname/ipp/ ipp://hostname/ipp/port1 lpd://hostname/queue socket://hostname socket://hostname:9100 a port scan on the router produces Port State Service 80/tcp open http 88/tcp open kerberos-sec 515/tcp open printer any help perfectly welcome thanks, baris

It appears that your version of mozilla is using a different plugin directory, so perhaps that is why $HOME/.mozilla/plugins didn't work. What version of mozilla are you using?

Re: [Wlug] Mozilla

by Gregory Avedissian

Still no luck. I tried installing as root, first by logging as su and calling up mozilla from command line, and then again (when that didn't work) by backing out of X and starting over as root, calling mozilla from the menu. I've tried running SuSEconfig and tried re-booting, but it doesn't make a difference. I'm not even sure if I really downloaded the file with the browser - both times I did it, I walked away while it was downloading, and when I came back, the browser was gone. Let me take that back - I have four copies of jre131i.xpi in /tmp. Would it make sense to repeat Charles' procedure under /opt/mozilla/plugins? There aren't any jre* files there or under /root/.mozilla, and not even a plugins directory in the latter. I'm guessing that the files downloaded but didn't install. Thanks.

RE: [Wlug] Mozilla

The solution to this is to start mozilla as root, have it download and install the plugin, close the browser and then start it up as a normal user and presto java works.

Charles, Thanks for the reply. I tried this with the file I downloaded and that didn't work, so then I went back and got the same file you got, and it still didn't work. Not sure why - it all seemed to install ok. But I still get that damned box coming up. Greg On Thursday 14 March 2002 18:14, you wrote: > On Thu, Mar 14, 2002 at 05:51:48PM -0500, Charles R.
