When selecting Printer Configuration in Karmic and then New Network Printer, I was presented with a list of printers on my LAN each of which had the printer model and its TCP/IP address (on our LAN it would be 10.2.92.xxx) as in:
...
HP Color LaserJet 4700 (10.2.92.201)
HP Color LaserJet 4700 (10.2.92.203)
...
RICOH Aficio MP C2550 (10.2.92.211)
RICOH Aficio MP C2550 (10.2.92.213)
Canon iR C5185-H1 1.2 (10.2.92.202)
Canon iR C5185-H1 1.2 (10.2.92.202)
...
In Lucid, the parenthetical TCP/IP is replaced sometimes by a cryptic 6 character string in brackets. To the right is a box "Enter Device URI" with a pre-populated entry for each printer as follows.
dnssd://HP%20Color%20LaserJet%204700%20%5B271B88%5D._printer._tcp.local/ (The 6 character string follows the "%5B"). There is no TCP/IP address to be found so I don't know which printer is which.
I can ping the printers by their names or TCP/IP #s, but I have no way of connecting the tabular listing of printers in the new format with the TCP/IP addresses or printer names.
Any ideas how to identify the printers by TCP/IP in the config list without testing each one individually until I hit on the right one?
