Fedora 9 network printer won't install
Im using
:HP Laser jet 6310 connected to home network (via ethernet) :Fedora 9 The printer I installed was working fine, until for other reasons I reinstalled the OS. After the install I downloaded and installed all the software and security updates. When I went to add the printer the interface had changed to(printer configuration - local host)which virtually gives no way to add the printer - very little options just a search option which does'nt work - troubleshooting tools dont work-it seems pretty useless compared to the add printers wizard when I previously installed. ran yum install for cups - cups is installed when trying to add printer with this little interface - it searches to find nothing- Did the new updates change printer configuration? Is there a way I can install from command line? |
I may not be able to help you much, but I think some more information will help others here. Is the printer attached to your Fedora box or to a different one, and what OS runs on that box?
Have you tried configuring the printer through the http://localhost:631/ cups interface? Is there a firewall blocking port 631? Does the printer work on the machine it is attached to? |
Printer is attached to router - with a static IP address -with which a xp machine can print too
I have tried to configure through http://localhost:631/ I have disabled the fire wall while trying to connect Thankyou for your reply. |
