That URL is a local URL and won't work over the network. Cups supports the Internet Printing Protocol very nicely. If you change the portion in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf where it says: <div style="margin-left: 40px;"> <Location /> Order Allow,Deny Deny From All Allow From <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> </Location> </div> So that it allows from all, or allows from your local network, you can then put the URL ipp://yourhost:631/printers/yourprinter into a Linux computer, and something similar into Windows XP computers too, and it will now be a shared printer. If you need to share with Samba (Windows Networking) then I've tried that but not actually gotten it to work. That's just me though. I'm sure someone here has. -Josh <div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <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 Josh & all, On my machine it calls the local Device URI this: hp:/usb/HP_Laserjet_1022?serial=FL10340 From this can you tell how I would share this printer with other machines on the network?
