Hi Peter and list, |
23 |
|
24 |
I have a Lexmark color laser on my network that I print to from Windows |
25 |
and a Gentoo ~amd64 desktop. |
26 |
|
27 |
I believe I just used the printer's IP address in CUPS in place of the |
28 |
hostname (e.g., ipp://192.168.1.1). |

|

I use a static IP configured through the printer panel and can find it |
31 |
in the settings if I forget |
