I'm very new to this forum, and please bear with me for any mistakes.
I basically handle oracle applications database. We have our oracle applications running on a RHEL 5 machine. THe requirement is that i need to configure a EPSON LQ-680 printer to this server so that oracle reports can be printed to this printer. This printer is connected to the windows machine of the user.
Also the windows machine is physically away from the server and is in a different domain.Ping is happening between the server and windows machine as these are connected thru vpn.
Now when i set up the printer using CUPS, while giving test print it shows that the printer sharing is not available.
Is the printer shared to the network on the Windows machine and are the CUPS ports open between to two computers over the network (I think it's UDP port 631)?
If you can, have someone hook the printer up directly to a Linux machine and test it directly to see whether it does work with Linux without the variable of a network in the way.
Thankyou for your valuable inputs. I had directly connected the printer to the linux box and now I'm able to print. But when I give TEST PAGE from CUPS, the print seems to be not alligned.
