years ago, I had no trouble printing from a Mac on my lan to printer connected to my linux box. now, I can't seem to do it. linux box F14 using NetworkManager static ip 192.168.2.8 iMac dhcp 192.168.2.100 again, years ago I sometimes added to the cupsd.conf: ServerName 192.168.2.8, which enabled other computers on the lan to print. Since then I haven't tried to modify cupsd.conf-- it seems the modern version is far more complex. Maybe not even intended that users should directly modify it? in a related recent thread, Tim Waugh responded > The default firewall in Fedora disallows CUPS Browsing. > to enable it, > start 'system-config-firewall' and set the checkbox for "Network > Printing Client (IPP)". > Tim. > */ I tried this, I think followed by # /sbin/service cups restart but the iMac still can't see the printer My F14 /etc/hosts has only the two localhost lines. Do I need more here? More on the iMac? thanks for advice Jack -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
