Have you already checked, from the machine you installed cups on - http://localhost:631? This is a webinterface giving you some options you can set up - concerning the printer in question.
Your printer should be available there as a printer in the list of available printers. You can also print a test page from that local webpage - showing whether the problem is the Gnome interaction with your printer, or CUPS who is misconfigured. I had to adapt some things myself on localhost:631 there when installing mine some while ago. Also - I had to add /ipp after my network address of the network printer when using ipp protocol: http://10.0.2.13/ipp Hope this helps ... greetings frank [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Hey everyone.
