The URL for the printer depends on how you connect to it. smb:// is printers shared by Windows servers and is usually in the form smb://server/printer. If the computer is on a UNIX server running CUPS, you can just use ipp://servername:631/printers/printername to connect to it. If I remember correctly there is a wizard in the printer config program that will generate a URL from the data you input. -Josh <div>On 1/31/07, Skip Evans <<a href="mailto:skip@bigskypenguin.com">skip@bigskypenguin.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hey all, I got my printer installed easy as pie on my local Xu machine, but another one on the network couldn't see it, even though it is marked shared under Settings -> Printing. This is what I did on the second machine (they are both on a simple LAN here): Settings -> Printing -> New Printer I then gave it a name in the three fields: HP-1022 Then I hit the forward button where it asks me to Select Connection and has a field for Device URI, but I'm not sure what do to here. Can I provide the Device URI of the printer on my own machine here so the remote machine I am attempting to configure find it? Not sure how to get this URI. Any help, as always, greatly appreciated. Printer is a HP Laserjet 1022. -- Skip Evans Big Sky Penguin, LLC 61 W Broadway Butte, Montana 59701 406-782-2240 <a href="http://bigskypenguin.com"> http://bigskypenguin.com</a> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Check out PHPenguin, a lightweight and versatile PHP/MySQL development framework. <a href="http://phpenguin.bigskypenguin.com/">http://phpenguin.bigskypenguin.com/ </a> -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
