Hi,
I have an SMC Barricade 7004ABR router that has a built in print server. I have a Mandrake 9.0 and I am unable to correctly configure my HP2100 to print using CUPS.
I saw someone else who successfully configured a Siemens router. This was his suggestion which I changed to reflect my system.
My example is using an HP 2100 printer. The router IP address is 192.168.2.1. I gave the router a name (Gutenberg) by associating the host name in the etc/hosts file (example is: 192.168.2.1 gutenberg)
I started cups from the local browser with the command : http://localhost:631
Selected Manage Printers
Add Printers
At the login prompt: root and password
Add new printer
Name: laserjet
Location: desktop
Description: router printer
Device: LPD/LPR Host or Printer
Device URI: lpd://Gutenberg/laserjet
Again, I do all of this in CUPS and what I’m getting is this when I try to print a test page through CUPS (which I refreshed after doing all the above)
Description: router printer
Location: desktop
Printer State: Idle, accepting jobs
“remote host did not accept control file (2)”
Device URI: lpd://Gutenberg/laserjet
If I go into the SMC application that came with the router, I am seeing that
LPR: Client 192.168.2.16:515 send a job to printer
However I get no output. I am up against a wall on this one: Any suggestions????
