I used this lpd://192.168.254.254/LPT1 the only trick is to find out the queue name which is not mentioned in the user's manual of speedstream. Siemens says their router IS compatible with unix however they do not support it. So I had to guess for it. Going after doug's example I tried couple of queue names like L1, queue, lp0, etc... could not succeed. I thought of examining the port driver software for dos. In the properties window of the port driver I saw that it is somehow using lpt1 port. then I realized that lpt1 should be the name of the printer port on the router. So tried to use LPT1 as the name of the queue. and it worked. thanks to all help! baris On Fri, 15 Mar 2002 15:04:05 -0500 Baris Hasdemir <tekir99@yahoo.com> wrote:
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
