Hi all
I hate Unix printer, and always have.
I have successful setup a local printer on my server. Attached
via a USB and it works fine.
The problem is with the laptop - which needs to be configured
to print from both the wire and wireless networks.
I am currently on the wireless network, and have configured the
firewall to open port 631. I can browse the web interface of
the server okay - and I can see entries in the server CUPS log
so I know the firewall is letting the packets pass.
However I get the following message:
get_printer_attrs: resource name '/hplj/' no good!
On the laptop the web interface is reporting:
Description: HP LaserJet 1200
Location: Office
Printer State: stopped, accepting jobs.
"Destination printer does not exist!"
Device URI: http://bugs.dobbo.uthink.co.uk:631/hplj/
So what have I done wrong?
Steve
