Anyone have problems installing printers?
I cannot install any printer since I get errors about cups.
My Ubuntu laptop is connected to a Windows network that has four shared printers.
From the laptop I can print test pages, etc., with two of the printers. I cannot with the other two.
On another machine, a Windows machine, also connected to the network, I can print to all four of the shared printers. So I know that the printers are fine.
Hello all,
For printing I use a print server which gives access to hundreds of different printers throughout the office. I see them all in cups or in the KDE printer configuration.
But in OpenOffice there is only a 'Generic printer' which prints on my default printer, but without any of the fancy options of the driver.
Hi all,
I am working on a project where i would like to install a printing system that makes it possible to print over my network.
There are 4 printers spread over the entire network. These printers should only be approached through a print-server. (I use SAMBA and CUPS as print-server because i use windows and linux clients)
I would like to connect multiple printers and send print-files to each of them. I understand that printers are listed as /dev/usb/lp0, /dev/usb/lp1, etc. However, I have noticed that Linux does not list them in any particular order. I do NOT want to use CUPS to get the information for each of my printers.
Can anyone think of a way of Re-Sharing a Shared Printer? When I connect the shared printers to Server 2008 R2, it comes up as a network printer, and settings take affect on the host (not the server) so I can't Re-Share it.
The reason I need this is I have a number of workstations that run software in which I have to hardcode the printer name.
We have a SCO UnixWare system version 7.1.3, running a front end ERP system.
I have 2 new printers I would like to add so that people can print from the ERP system. The two printers are on the network and have IP address's.
Recently this model printer was moved to the paperweight section of the linux printer database, well this was a correct move for (new Installs of 11.2 ) but , there is a way around this if you have one of these printers and they are great for basic printing in linux.
this is not the best way to save a printer but it worked for me and i did not have to go out and replace two printers.
Hi, I am just a user trying to get CrunchBang to do all that I need. I am very happy for the most part. I have been migrating away from Windows XP because I lost the install disk. Hardware=eeepc 1000HE. OS=CrunchBang Statler, ran updates at first run, printer support, did not go with Zen. Sound works, wireless works. I know next to nothing about linux.I am trying to get my printer working.
