I'm going to ask the obvious question: Is your Linux computer in the same subnet as the printer? (i.e. 172.16..) Is that the IP of the printer? For what it's worth, even if it is, browsing to that IP may not do you any good. They may simply have the printer listening, without providing any interface. That's what my HP LaserJet 4M does (it's there on the network, listening and printing, but doesn't provide any kind of interface to the outside world). Is that the IP of the router? In that case, I'd expect that the router is acting as an internet printing server, and ought to have some kind of interface. But you may have more luck going to the root of the server (instead of directly to the printer address), <http://172.16.100.1:631/>, to see if that gives you an interface. Other things to consider: How is the Windows box printing to the printer? Is it pre-rendering, or is it sending generic printing data to the server, and the server rendering for the specific printer. You may have to do the same thing. On Linux, a computer can send PostScript or PDF to a printer server, and have it talk to the printer in its own language. Or, you can pre-render on the computer, and send that directly to the printer. In the past, I'd found that CUPs could automatically handle both types, but other people say that you had to set up specific printer queues for each. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
