For the name of the server I give the name of the printer (you get it in the menu of configuration of the printer) and that's pretty all you have to do.

Re: [expert] setting up printers and printing
Hi you do it with remote printer. put the IP in the "remote hostname". as for the "remote queue" I just put my name, and that's it. ofcourse you'll have to give the correct model...

Re: [expert] setting up printers and printing
Well... This is the Mandrake list, thus I am using Mandrake and need to make things work with it. I need to print to shared network printers. I had been doing so via samba but they are now no longer samba shares. I need to print directly to the printers via their ip addresses. I have tried various configurations with printerdrake but nothing results in printing. I tried the remote printer, added the ip address of the printer, tried to print the test pages and get nothin'. I get a message in /var/log/messages saying that the real name of the printer could not be accessed. No printout results at all but the jobs get queued and stay queued until I physically delete them. The printers in this case are named "e2120 tek350" and "e2420 lw". I enter these names as "e2420_tek350" and "e2420_lw" AND I have tried without the underscore. These. Are. Their. Names. Yet I get messages about the real name not being able to be accessed and I get no output. These are both postscript printers that worked fine under samba. I was able, in the past before the network configuration was changed, to connect directly to the printers as well and print from them. I could transfer a postscript file to them and have that print out. Basic postscript printers. Buchan Milne wrote: Praedor Tempus wrote: I need to print to network printers at school.

Not only must you know the IP address of the print server (which I thnk you do), but you must also know the name of the printer (a.k.a. queue name) that is attached to the print server. That is because print servers can have more than 1 parallel port, so, obviously, can serve more than 1 printer. Each of these printers must have an associated queue name. I easily used printtool 3.40 (which came with Mdk6.0) to set up my HP L-J 1100 (using the L-J 4 driver), once I knew the the IP addr queue name.

Fortunately, the problem seems to have been a printer-side one rather than client-side. The IT guys did some fiddling with the printer settings (they have been changing the network all around over the last few weeks and some things are flakey). Today I was able to set up the printers with printerdrake using "remote lpd". I utilized the method mentioned by another on this list, placing the printer ip address in the host field and my user name in the queue name field. Now the printer works.
