Thanks Chris. I kind of suspected that, but the whole printing business is so complex my first suspicion is always that I've configured something wrong. I should have checked. I was able to get around the problem, at least for practical purposes, with the Printer System Switcher GUI tool. One click and CUPS is history and you're back in business with lprng. I would really like to find a good explanation somewhere of how all this stuff fits together. Linuxprinting.org is a start, but they don't cover the distribution specific hacks very well. The Red hat docs treat it all from the gui level now. Short of studying the source and scripts, is there any up-to-date howto covering what goes on in, and troubleshooting of, Red Hat printing? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Wong" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 12:12 PM Subject: Re: RH9 Printer Sharing Problem > On Sun, 8 Jun 2003, John Meagher wrote: > > I have an RH9 setup as a cups printserver on a lan. > > An HP2100 named hp2100 is locally connected and shared > > (with lpd enabled) using the Gnome printer configuration tool. > > Local printing works fine but the sharing isn't working. > > Red Hat's CUPS printer configuration tool (redhat-config-printer) is > broken for sharing.
