I run Ubuntu Linux (Feisty Fawn). I've followed
this clear and concise how-to in the Ubuntu Wiki in order to get network printing working.
Everything looks good. Both my server marchine and my client machine show printer icons saying 'ready'.
on the client machine gives out this:
Code:
~$ lpstat -p -d
printer DeskJet-5740 is idle. enabled since Tue 17 Jul 2007 01:14:41 AM CEST
Connecting to 192.168.0.1 on port 631...
system default destination: DeskJet-5740
The printer is HP Deskjet 5740 and works just fine on the server machine (a desktop).
What I cannot do is print to it from my client machine (a laptop).
One more point:
Another post says that some HP printers won't work with the CUPS IPP protocol, and require the jetDirect HP protocol.
I don't know whether this could be relevant to the above model number. In addition, I wasn't able to follow the instructions in that post.
Thanks for your help.
