Picking last reply. I got the printer, removed all the shipping stuff, |
| 16 |
did the normal setup and got a test page printed from CUPS, in color. |
| 17 |
I'm taking this from the CUPS printer page that shows the connection. |
| 18 |
It printed from Kwrite and shows as ready for other programs as well. I |
| 19 |
would like someone to confirm that this is the best way to have this set |
| 20 |
up. I googled and can't find a howto for this. Most everything I found |
| 21 |
referenced .rpm and .deb stuff. |

The only way I could find to print is using the ipp thingy, at least it |
| 34 |
was the first way I could print successfully. Still, is this the proper |
| 35 |
way? |
| 36 |

Oh, it is connected by ethernet to my router. I figured I would use |
| 38 |
that from the start since I may end up putting my printer in another |
| 39 |
room which would require a longer cable. |

| 41 |
Only printed the test pages but they look neato!!! I hope to give this |
| 42 |
thing a test drive once I know it is set up correctly. |

Thanks to all for the help. This may be the best printer I've ever |
| 45 |
had. :-D |

P. S. Is there anything special I should do to make sure no one can |
| 52 |
access my printer over the internet and do something bad? Does the DSL |
| 53 |
modem and router protect that by default? |
