Printing

[Harry Vorstenbosch]

At first you have to make sure that all your network cards, an of course 
your printer(s) ip-addresses are onto the same subnet so they can "see"each 
other. If you run more than one network card and they are in different 
networks (subnets) you have to make sure that there is any kind of 
forwarding your printjobs to that "other" (sub)network. But the easiest 
thing is when all your devices are in the same network (of course).

Harry,

It does have a fixed ip address, but I would have to say network 
connectivity
is sketchy.  I can always ping the printer, but sometimes my machine will be
unable to see everything else on the network.  This happened before on a
completely different machine with 1 network card running Debian...my new box
has three network cards with one completely devoted to the printer.  Somehow
the network still fails for everything but the printer from time to time.

In any case, I think this is technically all better hashed out some other
time.  The problem I'm having seems to have more to do with the way Kubuntu
sets things up with respect to sudo (which is, on the whole, a very nice way
to handle things) and cups (which I've always had problems with).

I can "print" (such that things make it onto the queue), but I'm unable to
remove things from the queue using the kprinter interface in either user or
admin mode.

I think if I can figure out the permissions issues I'll likely have a better
time figuring out why things are being delayed between the queue and the
printer.

Thanks,

--Fred
