22 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).
29
30 I use a static IP configured through the printer panel and can find it
31 in the settings if I forget
32
33 Todd
