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.

Double check the IP address of your printer.
Run:
nmap -sP your_local_network

You should see your printer listed.
