Try netstat -plant | grep cups (as root) on the Etch system to see which connections cupsd is actually listening to. Run tcpdump -i eth0 -n -p host 192.168.2.105 on the Lenny box, then try to print the test page again; this should show you which connections the Lenny system tries to make to the Etch system and where things hang. (Replace "eth0" if you use another interface for your internal network.) Check your cups configuration, i.e. the DeviceURI given in printers.conf on the Lenny box and the "shared" status of the printer on the Etch system. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
