Hi All:
How were you setting the printer up in CUPS? Is the printer connected
directly to a WinXP printer port or to a network hub/print server? If
connected to a winblows box, you may need to connect through SAMBA print
sharing. If it is a network device (preferable) then CUPS should handle it
and all computers on the network could use it.
I'm using two printers, an Epson Photo 2200 and an Brother 1440 laser. The
setup for the laser is:
Start > System Settings > Printing > Edit (or add)
Queue Type: Networked UNIX (LPD)
Server: 192.168.0.71
Queue: PS_Port1
rest of the settings for what you want of the printer.
HTH, Tom
