Hi;
I feel foolish posting here. This should be simple to do. But I am stumped. I have googled etc. and found nothing helpful.
I have a two computer home LAN. The network is properly set up. I can ping and ssh in both directions.
I have a working HP Photosmart C4200 series printer connected by USB to my BASEMENT computer. I am trying to set up printing for the UPSTAIRS computer over the LAN. system-config-printer on the UPSTAIRS computer does not detect the basement printer and none of the set up options it gives seems to work.
I would like the printer setup to 'just work' before I turn the UPSTAIRS computer over to a non-IT person who has just come off of using WindowsXP.
I am flumexed.
If cups correctly Downstairs you should not have to configure it at all Upstairs. Do you see the printer Upstairs when you use the cups web interface?
BASEMENT: http://localhost:631 shows the correct printer. UPSTAIRS: http://localhost:631 shows NO PRINTER
As I said earlier, ping and ssh works in both directions!?
