Hello list,
I have a Lexmark C2425 colour laser, which used to be detected automatically
but now isn't. I can connect it over USB, but I'd like to use IPP or HTTP.
This is a stable amd64 box, and CUPS is installed thus:
net-print/cups-2.3.3_p2-r3::gentoo USE="X acl dbus pam ssl threads usb
zeroconf -debug -kerberos (-selinux) -static-libs -systemd -xinetd"
ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)"
Two questions:
1. What else do I need to do for the printer to be detectable?
2. The guides I've found say I can set it up manually with ipp://hostname/
printers/printername. What is 'printername'? Is it just arbitrary?
Clues, anyone?
TiA.
Hi Peter and list,
I have a Lexmark color laser on my network that I print to from Windows
and a Gentoo ~amd64 desktop.
I believe I just used the printer's IP address in CUPS in place of the
hostname (e.g., ipp://192.168.1.1).
I use a static IP configured through the printer panel and can find it
in the settings if I forget
