1 Hi All,
2
3 I am sure that this is an easy thing to achieve, but for some reason I
4 seem to fail to get it going. Probably because I do not completely
5 understand the logic. The setup is as follows:
6
7 I have two boxen, hostname1.STUDY and hostname2.STUDY. hostname2 has the
8 printer connected to it via parallel port. The printer's name is
9 Compaq-HP. Hostname2 can print locally without a hitch.
10
11 I created a new printer on hostname1 and also named it Compaq-HP. I set
12 the ipp address to ipp://hostname2.STUDY/ipp but I kept getting errors
13 telling me it can't resolve the address. So I changed it to the LAN ip
14 address (ipp://192.163.0.3/ipp)and it seems that it can now connect, but
15 it cannot find the printer:
16 =========================================

26 lpstats shows both printers (local and remote):

34 DeskJet-930C accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
35 printer Compaq-HP is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
36 printer DeskJet-930C disabled since Jan 01 00:00 -
37 Paused
38 =========================================
39
40 Would you know why it can't resolve hostname2.STUDY? Am I meant to add
41 the printer name on the ipp://192.168.0.3/ipp?
