[newbie] Printer config
I am trying to set up network printing through an SMC Barricade router (4 port) I have tried several configurations with no success so far. I've entered the Gateway address for the Barricade but I believe that the default port (9100) is incorrect. How do I determine what port is used for printing?

I haven't tried all the options, but I assume anything other than "Plain paper" will output the ad. I am getting acceptable quality for text output, and that's all I want, so I'm happy with that. You can set the option with xtpconfig (or CUPS webmin too I think). HTH.

[newbie] printer config ques
Greetings, I am experiencing a situation where, when printing a document of more than 1 page, there are several lines being lost in the transition from one page to the next. Also, and what might be unrelated, when I view my document of several pages in print preview, it indicates the correct amount of pages, but I cannot scroll through any other than the 1st. By that I mean when I do scroll, the 1st page is just repeated as each successive page is attemped to be viewed. I can print all pages, but lines are lost as mentioned. I am using Mdk 9.1 and my printer is an Epson Stylus Color 480SXU on TurboPrint driver with CUPS. This setup was previously working OK, and I can't figure what may have brought this on. Any feedback/help on this would truly be appreciated. TIA.

[newbie] Printer config file question
Hello, I finally got the network printer to work! A couple of questions remain: (1) The cupsd.conf file has an entry at the end 'ServerName 192.168.xxx.xxx'. Does this mean that I have to set the MD box to this address? I now use DHCP for addresses, and they do vary. (2) During setup, there was a dire warning about sending clear-text passwords across the net when requesting printing, and being able to read the pw with a simple command. Is there a better way to set up printing to avoid this vulnerability? -- Best regards, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Printer config problem
I'm having problems with printer margins. I know someone asked this a couple of weeks ago, but I never saw the answer. I have found the utility for adjusting margins, but like the previous llister, when I print the page for measuring the bottom is missing (obviously - the margins need adjusting ;-) Could someone please run this utility and give me the formula that should be at the bottom, so that I can input the correct values.
