Hi folks. I am curious as to what I'm doing wrong. I have two virtual
computers under VMWare that share a network with the Win 10 host. Both
run Gentoo Linux. In one I have successfully configured CUPS to send to
the printer on the windows host via smb. But when I try to tell the
other machine to send it's job to the first machine, so that first
machine can act as a central print server, I can't get it to work. I've
tried everything I can think of. lpd://athena/ENVY doesn't work,
ipp://athena/ENVY doesn't work, http://athena:631/printers/ENVY and
https://athena:631/printers/ENVY don't work. Each gives different error
messages (except http and https which give the same error).
Clearly I'm doing SOMETHING wrong. And I KNOW it's not a firewall issue
because in the case of HTTP/HTTPS I can see the cups on athena receive
the request while watching the error_log that is set to debug level. So,
the question remains, if I'm doing something wrong, and clearly I am,
WHAT am I doing wrong?
