Are you looking in Administration > Find New Printers or under the Printers tab? The latter is correct. However, we already know that Pnethood has great difficulty finding Samba shares on your network. So it's no surprise that the client would have trouble finding shared printers. But I don't know why that would be.smokey01 wrote:Using the CUPS method I don't understand why my CLIENT can't see the two printers attached to my SERVER. According to everything I have read the CLIENT should see them when using CUPS in the find printers mode.
Go back to the server and verify that it is configured correctly. Each printer should say (Idle, Accepting jobs Shared). Also verify in the Administration section that you have checked "Share printers connected to this system".
No. The whole point of the exercise is to make the server's local printers sharable.Hold the bus: Both of my printers are connected to the SERVER via USB ports, not the router. Will this make a difference?
What exactly went wrong? Do you have both Puppy firewalls turned off? Does your modem/router have an internal firewall?I have tried using the ipp://192.168.0.3:631/printers/Samsung_ML-1660_Series method on the CLIENT. It then continues and asks to select a printer driver so I choose the correct driver and follow the prompts. Still no Joy.
If you can't make the printers sharable via CUPS, your other option is to use the Samba server. This is described in the Samba-TNG How-to.
