As a continuation to what we were talking about at the last Linux meet,<br> I have managed to setup CUPS as previously wanted.<br> <br> For those who weren't there, I have been connecting to my networked CUPS<br> printers via Samba, and having to install the drivers on each machine.<br>
As the Canon CAPT drivers are a PITA and not 64-bit compatible, this<br> wasn't an option for me.<br> <br> I tried ticking the "Show printers shared by other systems" tick box,<br> and it made no difference. I wonder if I need to have NFS setup properly<br>
for that to work. In the end I added a new printer and just put the URI as:<br> <br> <a href="http://192.168.0.113:631/printers/LBP5000">http://192.168.0.113:631/printers/LBP5000</a><br> <br> Which seemed FAR too simple. But sent off a test page and all worked<br>
perfectly!<br> <br> Many thanks to whomever helped me at the event (I remember the face, but<br> not the name - an awful flaw of mine).<br> <br> Spode<br> <br></blockquote></div><br>Do we want to organize a Tech talk on Printing at some point, maybe include faxing as well just an idea.<br>
