When setting up the printer on the laptop, I say that it is a network printer, choose http as the protocol, and give the URI of the printer, in this case http://192.168.2.1:631/printers/HP_LaserJet_5L . (The printer is never found by clicking on Network Find Printer.) > The other thing that comes to mind is that because it is attached to > alfred, > you definitely have to authenticate there.

There is no suggestion that one has to setup anything, and I don't see where one could set username/password in any of the CUPS files. > Hope it starts off some useful train o thought. Yes, thanks. I'll try setting up some form of authentication, or else try turning it off. But when I googled for the error message, none of those who encountered the problem seemed to have found any simple solution. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
