Folk, A printer is connected to a Squeeze system here with a parallel cable. CUPS is installed and there is no problem printing directly from the host.
I'm interested to have this printer work for other machines on the LAN. http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.5/network.html contains, "Verifying the Printer Connection ... ping myprinter PING myprinter (192.0.2.2): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.0.2.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=15 time=5 ms". Whereas here, this is the result. root@dalton:/# ping HPLaserJet1100 ping: unknown host HPLaserJet1100 Seems that for network access, the printer must be assigned an IP address. Can anyone find documentation? Can the address be assigned in /etc/network/interfaces ? Otherwise, where? Thanks, ...
