I don't usually deal with them using hostnames. The printer first "installed on the F15 system is connected via a D-Link device that simply converts USB to Ethernet, a printer server, and the problem was manifest with it. I treat it as 192.168.1.4 and simply set the rest of the printer set-up stuff to whatever satisfies the configuration script. I much preferred the old system where I entered data into the cups screen. D-Link DP-301U shows: . System Status Server Name : PS-4B9153 Model : DP-301U Hardware Version : A1 Firmware Version : 1.10 (2003-02-25) MAC Address : 00 0D 88 4B 91 53 IP Address : 192.168.1.4 (Manual) Up Time : 2 days, 13:43:42 Printer Status USB Printer Name : PS-4B9153-U1 Printer Status : On line I call the printer HL-5040 in the printer configuration screen. I've just booted the F15 box and the Printing configuration screen shows six printers, duplicates of the first three and gives each a different name. I uncheck View, Discover Printers and it's reduced to those I have set up. Must I give them the names shown in the second set? I will do what ever corrects the problem but this is different than what I have had to do before. Thanks for your interest.
