Hi Peter, |
26 |
Sorry that I'm not much involved in this thread. I'm traveling and |
27 |
trying to catch up so I'm reading on a laptop screen. I'm a bit out of |
28 |
touch. |

I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding your setup. How many |
31 |
machines are you working with? Is this home and it's a couple of |
32 |
machines, or is it a work environment where there might be other |
33 |
strange bits of hardware in between that could be filtering and/or |
34 |
applying rules of some unknown type? |
35 |
|
36 |
Is the printer an HP (hplip was mentioned) and if so why use the |
37 |
PPD file from linuxprinting.org at all? For my simple home setup I |
38 |
didn't need to do that with hplip installed on each machine. (Cups |
39 |
server as well as Linux clients) I'm actually visiting my parents |
40 |
where my dad just purchased an HP 1522nf printer. It's connected to |
41 |
his Linux box using USB. hplip more or less automatically made the |
42 |
printer available to the Gentoo machines on the network so I didn't |
43 |
have to do anything to gt them printer. since I'm on my Vista-based |
44 |
laptop I thought I'd try printing from here. I created a new printer, |
45 |
pointed the laptop at |
46 |
|
47 |
http://192.168.1.2:631/printers/HP_1522nf |
48 |
|
49 |
and then let Windows find it. Once it did I had to choose the wrong |
50 |
driver as I don't have one for the 1522, so I chose one for a 1300 |
51 |
series laserjet, asked Windows to print the test page, and out popped |
52 |
a printed page. |
53 |
|
54 |
If you cannot make headway then I'm wondering if maybe you |
55 |
shouldn't go back to basics. Drop the SSL stuff, connect to the IP |
56 |
address directly, get it working, and then investigate adding these |
57 |
other things in until something breaks? |
58 |
|
59 |
Whatever you do, and to everyone else reading, best wishes for the |
60 |
Holiday Season. Let's hope for peace. |

Cheers, |
