For the umpth time when setting up a printer I'm flummoxed by cups
addressing scheme. What should my URL look like in this setting:
I have an epson printer connected to a 3 port print server. Its a
parrallel connection from server to printer. The print server
address is 192.168.0.13
When walking thru the cups config I'm presented with these suggested
URI's
file:/path/to/filename.prn
http://hostname:631/ipp/
http://hostname:631/ipp/port1
ipp://hostname/ipp/
ipp://hostname/ipp/port1
lpd://hostname/queue
socket://hostname
socket://hostname:9100
These examples are nearly useless near as I can tell. There isn't
enough there to make a good guess.
I've tried a number of possibilities. Using both HTTP and IPP.
Printer name is EP
ipp://192.168.0.13:631/EP
Cups seems to be talking to the printer. No error is thrown but the
access log shows:
localhost - root [15/Sep/2003:22:41:21 -0500] "GET /printers/EP?op=print-test-page HTTP/1.1" 200 1529
localhost - root [15/Sep/2003:22:44:32 -0500] "GET /cups.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0
localhost - root [15/Sep/2003:22:44:36 -0500] "GET /cups.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0
localhost - root [15/Sep/2003:22:44:38 -0500] "GET /cups.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0
localhost - root [15/Sep/2003:22:44:39 -0500] "GET /cups.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0
localhost - root [15/Sep/2003:22:44:39 -0500] "GET /cups.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0
No printing happens however.
The printer is working and can print successessfully from an XP
machine, using the URI
http://192.168.0.12/lp1
Can anyone clue me in on how to get the URI right?
