Folks,
I have two systems with each having an attached printer. Both work fine on the
system to which they are physically attached.
Here is an brief layout:
polar ursa
HP C3180 (works) Dell 1110 (works)
???? network HP C3180 (works)
Here is a description of the problem:
I am unable to configure a network from polar to ursa(Dell 1110). Using the
printer configuration tool under System->Administration->Printing It fails and
is created as a local printer, which is totally unusable.
Does the fact that I have two entries for Printing in the drop down list have
anything to do with it? If so, how do I get rid of one of them they appear bring
up different tools. One is named "Printer configuration - localhost" and the
other is "Printers".
Regards,
Jay
