I thought the whole point of IPP Sharing was that
you didnt have to do anything on the client machines, even Macs.
Well, especially Macs, as CUPS is/was written by Apple.
Am I supposed to run
cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=cups
on my f14 box Server?
or on the imac client?
I tried "cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=cups" on my f14
no change, still cant see the printer from my imac
And did you try it on the Mac? I tried 'man cupsctl' on my F14 box,
and it doesn't seem to support that syntax, so I think it was intended
for you to try on the Mac.
is this meant to be done on my f14 server? or the imac client?
On my f14 I don't see a " Print & Fax preference pane in the
System Preferences window"
Then, I'd bet that's also intended to be done on the mac.
If it means choosing from the imac print dialog,
it seems impossible
because my entire problem is my imac cant see the printer to choose it.
Try step #1 first, then perhaps step #2 will work.
I haven't felt this dumb re linux in a long time.
Yeah, computers are good at handing out humility to us all, on occasion.
