Hi, |
| 2 |
Sorry. This has got to be me just not seeing the right way about |
| 3 |
this. What do I have to do on my Gentoo AMD64 machine with a working |
| 4 |
CUPS printer to share it with other Gentoo desktop machines here at |
| 5 |
home? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have a working CUPS printer on my machine. I want to print to it |
| 8 |
from my wife and son's machines. I've been trying to figure out how to |
| 9 |
set that up but cannot get the right configuration. It seems that the |
| 10 |
Gentoo Printing Guide is somewhat silent on this. |
| 11 |

| 13 |
|
| 14 |
On the machine with the printer I've done what I think the guide |
| 15 |
has asked for, modified for my network IP addresses: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
<Location /> |
| 18 |
Order Deny,Allow |
| 19 |
Deny From All |
| 20 |
Allow From 127.0.0.1 |
| 21 |
Allow From 192.168.1.* |
| 22 |
</Location> |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Port 631 |
| 25 |
(make sure the next two lines are commented out) |
| 26 |
#Listen 127.0.0.1:631 |
| 27 |
#Listen localhost:631 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
At this point I believe I'm supposed to set up IPP printing on the |
| 30 |
remote machines but everything I've tried there results in messages |
| 31 |
about the printer not being found, not responding, not existing, etc. |
| 32 |
I'm telling CUPS that it's an IPP printer and trying addresses like: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
ipp://lightning/ipp |
| 35 |
ipp://lightning/ipp/port1 |
| 36 |
etc. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
However when I try to print to it I get messages in CUPS like: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
"Destination printer does not exist!" |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I'm sure it's just me not understanding the right way to input the |
| 43 |
printer's address. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Thanks in advance, |
| 46 |
