If you look at what I wrote previously, the URL should include the IP address of the printer. Try defining a new printer according to my prescription. For example: I believe in your case it should be: lpd://192.168.1.160/PS55255_P1 > > I notice that cupsd and cups-lpd do not start at startup even with > cups-lpd turned on via ntsysv. I do not use cups-lpd - it should only be needed to print from some older unix/linux systems through your current RH8.0 system I believe. > > I've turned off lpd in all runlevels. > > I wonder if I'm missing an installation file?

That is the only cups file I have, but I use some gimp drivers so I have some gimp drivers and a cups-drivers package which you may need. [gerry@gstpc Pictures]$ rpm -q cups-drivers cups-drivers-1.9-1.20020617.6 If you run redhat-switch-printer, does it indicate that you are using CUPS? > > Gerry Tool wrote: > >> Cochran Robert L (NO) wrote: >> >>> It is indeed a network printer.
