[newbie] Printing to Window$ domain printers using CUPS and Samba
I'm still having trouble getting printing to work using MDK 8.2 using CUPS and Samba. I think I may have narrowed down the problem though. When I add a SMB shared printer using the wizard in KUPS, I have noticed that CUPS tries to use my laptop's integrated network card (eth0)to send the printing through. I am using a wireless network card (eth1) for my networking. Is there a way I can tell CUPS to use eth1 instead of eth0? Thanks for the help!

Terry If you do not use this interface at all have you tried disabling it first in the BIOS and if that is not possible using netconf to disable that adapter? Alternatively if you do need both interfaces then open kups (or KDE Control CentreSystemPrint manager as root) Select 'Configure server' (Which is the second 'spanner' (or 'wrench' depending on which country you live in) from the right.) Select Connection and set the 'broadcast address' to include the interface(s) you wish CUPS messages to go over e.g. 192.167.1.255 That should do the trick derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

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!
