Doesn't your DHCP always allocate IP addresses from the same subnet? You only need to put the broadcast address of your subnet into the CUPS configuration. You do not need the IP address of a particular host. So putting 192.168.1.255 in the config will cause all hosts on the 192.168.1 subnet to respond.
Also on the same page you can configure named hosts to poll. You could just put the hostnames in there. derek On Tuesday 14 May 2002 8:33 pm, Terry Sheltra wrote: > Derek, > > Thanks for the info .. how would I be able to configure it using DHCP? > > Thanks! > > Terry > > On Tue, 2002-05-14 at 09:23, Derek Jennings wrote: > > On Tuesday 14 May 2002 1:58 pm, Terry Sheltra wrote: > > > I'm still having trouble getting printing to work using MDK 8.2 using > > > CUPS and Samba.
