Hi Peter, |
| 23 |
Sorry for the delay. Just getting logged in for the first time on |
| 24 |
this somewhat cold & dreary Sunday. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Again, I don't imagine ANY of what we're talking about here will |
| 27 |
work for a Windows machine printing to a Linux cups server if a Linux |
| 28 |
machine on the same network cannot print to that server. Possibly this |
| 29 |
at least partially an issue about the printer being 'published'? On |
| 30 |
the Administration page of the cups server I've got the first two |
| 31 |
options checked and the last 4 unchecked, basically saying to share |
| 32 |
with others any printers on this machine. I tried to copy the text but |
| 33 |
it didn't work and xsnap seems to be failing which stops me from |
| 34 |
taking a small screen shot. If I can get that fixed with an emerge |
| 35 |
I'll send along a little png file. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The other two changes are fairly simple. I apologize for not |
| 38 |
including them before. My bad for being lazy. |

In /etc/cups/mime.types near the end: |

Again, very sorry for the delay if this turns out to be the important factor. |

Cheers, |
