Hey, In my office, we have a Windows XP machine serves as file server and there's a SHARP AR158S printer connect to it. All of my co-workers use printer through the net work. I'm the only person usign Debian. I set up the samba and did the configuration and be able to see the shared folders using smb://server/. By the way the printer is shared on the LAN.
I'm using KDE. I went to Control Center->peripherals->printer. There are 2 options for network printer. One is network printer(TCP). Another is newwork printer w/Ipp(IPP/HTTP) In both options I entered smb://server/ppp(my windows XP working printer name) as printer address and In the subnetwork field I input 192.168.1. after that I hit scan but it tells me: "you are about to scan a subnet(192.168.1.*)that does not correspond to current subnet of this computer (127.0.0.*) .Do you want to scan the specified subnet anyway?" In addition, I tried the following: ##--------------------snap begin--------------------# LIJIANG:/home/lover# lpadmin -p serverPrinter -h 192.168.1.14 -i -v smb://server/ppp -P /root/ppp.ppd enable serberPrinter accept serberPrinter lpadmin -d serberPrinter lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection timed out LIJIANG:/home/lover# enable serberPrinter bash: enable: serberPrinter: not a shell builtin LIJIANG:/home/lover# accept serberPrinter accept: Operation failed: client-error-not-found LIJIANG:/home/lover# lpadmin -d serberPrinter lpadmin: set-default failed: client-error-not-found #---------------------snap end----------------------# It seems that my debian network configuration is wrong? Can any of you help me on this please? Thanks, Rocky -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
