Crick, " I was getting this error too, it was as a result of trying to print from a different subnet. I fixed it as shown in the comments on this blog: http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/05/enable-printer-sharing-with-ubuntu- computers.html<http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/05/enable-printer-sharing-with-ubuntu-%0Acomputers.html>"
Thanks. I assume you mean the comment I've reproduced below? It's months since I looked at this. In order to print I have stuck with Intrepid 8.10 on PC and Jaunty 9.04 on Netbook. How would I know if MY problem was because I was "trying to print from a different subnet" - where does that show up? Maybe I'll try Lucid 10.04 now, I have a PC that only has XP so far. Dave Mason ====== Note that if we* try and print from the different subnet (in this case using NAT on both sides with zeroshell),* we get an error: com.apple.print.recoverable This basically means that the printer is not at the address we are trying to print to. In fact, we won’t even find it the normal way. To add your printer from the client machine, you have to go into System ? administration ? Printing as per normal, then Settings, click advanced settings, and add the IP of the printer to the “browse servers” bit. >From the server side, you may have to enable “Allow printing from the internet” so that clients not in the subnet can print. Now, back on the client end, in the Printer Configuration main window you should be able to see your printer. You won’t be able to edit the settings of the printer. But what you can do is copy it, and call it something else which CAN be edited. So do that first. Then, right click on the printer, click on properties and just change the device URI from something like: ipp://computer1.local:631/printers/MFC7420 to ipp://192.168.0.1:631/printers/MFC7420 Where 192.168.0.1 would be the IP of your printer. ====== -- Obscure notification message: 'com.apple.print.recoverable' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447940 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
